Research On The Driving Factors And Changes In Structure Of Fujian Province Logistics Industry’s Carbon Emission

The low-carbon economy cannot develop without the support of the logistics industry under the background of climate change, environmental degradation and energy shortages. Research results show that there is a significant positive correlation between regional logistics and regional economic growth. The development of the logistics not only can promote the development of Fujian Province, but also can promote the development of the West Coast Economic Zone’s economy. With the rapid development of logistics activities, the negative impactions on ecological environment become more and more serious. The development of low-carbon economy needs the logistics industry turn to a low-carbon development path.The main contents of this article can be divided into four parts:The first part introduces the theories of sustainable development, low-carbon economy and low-carbon logistics. The second part estimates the carbon emissions of Fujian Province, discusses the relationship between the economy and the carbon emissions of Fujian Province. Then the third part analyzes the decomposition of the carbon emission intensity by using LMDI, the factor affecting the logistics by carbon emissions path analysis method and the changes of the carbon emission’s structure by the EIO-LCA model. The last part summarizes this article.This article can conclude that, Energy intensity is the major factor of the carbon intensity’s change. The direct impactions of the infrastructure and technology development on the carbon emission of the logistics are negative, but the positive indirect impactions lead to the ultimate combined effects increasing carbon emissions. Urbanization, economic growth, expansion of the logistics industry increase carbon emissions. Industrial structure and energy intensity are the two factors that reduce the carbon emissions. The growth of the logistics industry will present in the tertiary industry.
