The Characteristics Analysis And Reduction Strattegy Of Carbon Emissions Of Chongqing

Greenhouse effect and global warming is so far the most significantly environmental problems.Carbon dioxide has been a symbol of greenhouse effect gas as its longer life expectancy and high emissions.Chongqing city has been a text point of "low-carbon city" in China,and new seven industries will be vigorously developed in Chongqing city. So accurately grasping the characteristicscarbon emissions in Chongqing, especially the energy consumption characteristics of carbon emissions has a strong practical significance for the low-carbon economic development of Chongqing city.Firstly, the brief introduction has been made about the domestic and abroad carbon cycle, carbon emissions and carbon reduction. As modern industrial civilization is based on fossil fuels basis, slowing down the climate change means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by the energy use and industrial and agricultural production. This paper has made the analysis about the process of industrialization and urbanization and the relationship between different industries and energy consumption in Chongqing city. The carbon dioxide consumption of total energy in Chongqing city and the carbon dioxide consumption of the final energy in Chongqing and Beijing-Shanghai-Tianjin city have been mainly calculated. The results show that the carbon dioxide consumption of final energy in Chongqing City has a overall growth trend from 1997 to 2008.5413.96×10'kg in 1997 has increased to 11216.00×10'kg in 2008 and the average annual growth rate is 6.85%, which is higher than in Beijing-Shanghai-Tianjin city. From 1997 to 2008, in Chongqing city the carbon dioxide consumption of final energy is mainly caused by industrial emissions, living and transportation sector emissions, in which industrial emissions accounted for the majority of the overall. Compared with the Beijing-Shanghai-Tianjin city, agroforestry has a higher proportion and others have a rather smaller proportion about the cardon dioxide emissions of final energy in Chongqing city. The per capita cardon dioxide emission of final energy consumption in Chongqing city is the smallest and the cardon dioxide emission intensity in Chongqing city is the largest among the four municipalities.Based on investigating the present situation of Chongqing city and analyzing the policy information, this paper proposes the countermeasures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions which include adjusting the energy supply structure, prior developing the clean energy and the renewable energy,promoting the upgrade of economic structure, optimazing the secondary industry, developing low-carbon ecnomy, strengthening international exchange and cooperation, actively carring out the activities of CDM project activities and enhancing the human impact for the carbon emissions.
