“…Wang Yi and Wang Yanqiu (Wang & Wang, 2013) analyzed data on China's environmental regulations, technological innovation, and carbon emissions from 1994 to 2009 using pulse response function and variance decomposition, and found that the response curve between environmental regulations and carbon emissions follows an "N-shape" pattern during a 10-year response period. Kuang et al(Kuang et al, 2022) proposed that different types of environmental regulations have different impacts based on data on haze pollution in central and western China, and suggested that optimizing and upgrading the industrial structure and improving technological levels will help mitigate pollution. Chen et al (Chen, Wang, Li, & Zhou, 2022)estimated the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic development under the influence of environmental regulations in 30 provinces in China.…”

China has become the world's largest carbon emitter due to its high-investment, low-efficiency development model. It is urgent to reduce industrial pollution emissions. This study analyzes the impact of environmental regulation intensity and energy consumption structure on industrial SO2 pollution emissions by establishing a fixed-effect regression model based on panel data from 2009 to 2018 in China. The results show that the overall environmental regulation intensity in China has a significant negative effect on industrial pollution emissions. In other words, increasing the level of environmental regulation is conducive to reducing industrial pollution emissions. The proportion of coal consumption in the overall national energy consumption structure has a positive correlation with the concentration of industrial pollution emissions. Due to the differences in economic development and industrial foundation, the pollution emissions effect shows significant heterogeneity in the eastern and western regions of China under the constraint of environmental regulation. Based on these conclusions, this article proposes policy recommendations from four aspects: strengthening environmental regulation, improving energy consumption structure, promoting industrial structure adjustment and upgrading, and improving the foreign investment access system.

“…The studies conducted by Laplante [7] in the pulp and paper industry in Canada found that the implementation of government environmental regulations can significantly reduce pollutant emissions by businesses. Greenstone [8] and Kuang et al [9] proposed that different types of environmental regulations have different impacts based on data on haze pollution in central and western China, and suggested that optimizing and upgrading the industrial structure and improving technological levels will help mitigate pollution.…”

China has become the world’s largest carbon emitter due to its high-investment, low-efficiency development model. It is urgent to reduce industrial pollution emissions. This study analyzes the impact of environmental regulation intensity and energy consumption structure on industrial SO2 pollution emissions by establishing a fixed-effect regression model based on panel data from 2009 to 2018 in China. The results show that the overall environmental regulation intensity in China has a significant negative effect on industrial pollution emissions. In other words, increasing the level of environmental regulation is conducive to reducing industrial pollution emissions. The proportion of coal consumption in the overall national energy consumption structure directly and positively correlated with the concentration of industrial pollution emissions. Due to the differences in economic development and industrial foundation, the pollution emissions effect shows significant heterogeneity in the eastern and western regions of China under the constraint of environmental regulation. Based on these conclusions, this article proposes policy recommendations from four aspects: (1) strengthen environmental regulation, and pay attention to optimize the form of environmental regulation. For example, in the West of China, the government can encourage enterprises to carry out technological innovation and develop green energy hubs by policy and financial support; (2)improve the energy consumption structure, such as encouraging green production; (3) promote industrial structure adjustment and upgrading, such as promoting the energy saving transformation of energy-intensive enterprises, developing green technologies, and reducing the carbon emissions of industrial industries; (4)improve the foreign investment access system and guiding foreign investment to invest in key environmental protection projects.
