This paper establishes an ecological footprint model based on energy theory to calculate the ecological footprint of petrochemical industry. The results show that the industrial structure of petrochemical industry is single and the ecological environment is seriously damaged. The economic and social benefits created cannot compensate for the ecological environment cost of industrial development.
