Abstract

Low-carbon economy is becoming a new approach to optimize economic development, ensuring energy security and coping with climate change. As one of the important emission sources of greenhouse gases (GHG), the industrial sector should be prioritized in the development of low-carbon economy. In this study, the carbon emission from industrial energy use of Chongqing is accounted. On basis of industrial carbon emission (ICE) accounting, main factors responsible for industrial CO₂ emission are identified and quantitatively analyzed using the Log-Mean Divisia Index method. The factors influenc- ing ICE include energy mix, energy intensity, industrial structure and industrial output. It is found that the industrial output is the main driving force of ICE. The energy structure performs as a negative factor in carbon emission growth. By means of decomposing the influenc- ing factors, several policy proposals were suggested for policy makers to build a low carbon city.
