While promoting the economic growth, energy has also brought pollution problems to the world environment, which has gradually become a bottleneck impeding sustainable economic development. In view of the rapid evolution of urbanization and industrialization, economic growth is increasingly dependent on the energy consumption, the development of the two is difficult to coordinate, and the internal contradictions are becoming increasingly serious, which hinders the sustainable development of economic growth. This study establishes the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth according to the energy Kuznets curve and studies the future trend of China's sustainable development through the comparative analysis of the energy Kuznets curve of the United States and Germany. The results show that, at the turning point of energy consumption, China's energy economic rate is higher than that of Germany and the United States. In addition, in terms of urbanization rate and industrial structure, although China's tertiary industry has made a breakthrough, it is still lower than that of the United States and Germany, but the level of urbanization rate has made significant progress. In short, China has obvious advantages in future economic development and has a late developing advantage compared with the United States and Germany. This paper makes an empirical analysis of the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in OECD countries and finds out the turning point of energy consumption, so as to provide a theoretical basis for coordinating China's energy consumption and economic growth.
在推动经济增长的同时，能源也给世界环境带来了污染问题，逐渐成为制约可持续经济发展的瓶颈。鉴于城市化和工业化的快速发展，经济增长越来越依赖于能源消耗，两者的发展难以协调，内部矛盾日益突出，阻碍了经济增长的可持续发展。本研究根据能源库兹涅茨曲线建立了能源消费与经济增长之间的关系，并通过对美国和德国的能源库兹涅茨曲线进行比较分析，研究了中国未来的可持续发展趋势。结果表明，在能源消费转折点，中国的能源经济率高于美国和德国。此外，就城市化率和产业结构而言，尽管中国第三产业有所突破，但仍低于美国和德国，但其城市化率水平取得了显著进步。总的来说，中国在未来经济发展方面具有明显优势，与美国和德国相比具有后发优势。本文对经合组织国家能源消费与经济增长的关系进行了实证分析，找出了能源消费的转折点，为协调中国能源消费与经济增长提供了理论依据。
