Abstract
In order to realize the effective measurement of environmental pollution loss (EPL) caused by waste gas emits from energy consumption in industrial parks, it is built a shadow price model of waste gas emits in this study on the basis of literature review and status analysis. The measurement model is applied to Nanjing MV Industrial Park by using relevant statistical data. It is found that the total environmental pollution loss of waste gas emits from energy consumption in Nanjing MV Industrial Park presents a “U” change trend, which first decreases and then increases. In terms of the composition of environmental pollution loss of waste gas emits, environmental pollution loss caused by SO2 and NO2 stays high, which are the main components of environmental pollution loss and would be the focus of energy conservation and emission reduction in Nanjing MV Industrial Park in the future. The research results provide an effective quantitative analysis method for local government to measure the environmental pollution loss of waste gas emits from energy consumption in industrial parks and to formulate policies for environmental pollution treatment.
