• Abstract

   

  This study systematically analyzes the current status, carbon emission characteristics, and key influencing factors of low-carbon development in Beijing's modern manufacturing sector. Using statistical data from 2015 to 2022, we constructed an evaluation index system for low-carbon development levels based on the entropy method. Combined with the STIRPAT model, the impact of variables such as energy efficiency and technological investment on carbon emissions was empirically tested. Findings reveal: Beijing's modern manufacturing sector has achieved significant overall improvement in low-carbon development, with the composite index increasing by 203.8% from 2015 to 2021. However, substantial inter-industry disparities exist, with the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing sector showing the highest carbon emission intensity. Energy efficiency and technological investment serve as core drivers for emission reduction. The study proposes policy recommendations, including differentiated energy efficiency management, breakthroughs in core technologies, and industry-academia-research collaboration, providing theoretical support for the low-carbon transformation of manufacturing.
