Abstract: Energy consumption and environmental treatment have always been hot issues. This paper focuses on these two issues in China and attempts to investigate them based on the energy-to-environment (E2E) double-process. To achieve this aim, this paper first develops two E2E double-process models. Moreover, an empirical study is conducted to evaluate the E2E double-process efficiencies based on the data of 30 provinces in China. The results show that: 1)The E2E double-process efficiency in China is stable. However, this efficiency is low with large differences among individual provinces. 2)The values of the E2E double-process efficiency and the E2E energy consumption efficiency of China are similar, and both values are lower than that of the E2E environmental treatment. 3)The E2E environmental treatment efficiency has a potential driving effect in each province of China. 4)The intermediate output is used as a complete or partial input could significantly affect the E2E double-process efficiency.
