The Research Of Energy Consumption And Carbon Emission At Industry Level And Region Level

The aim of this paper is to study the energy consumption and carbon emission inChina. To that end we analyzed from three aspects which were industry sector, regionand international trade. The main results got from the study showed as follow:1. The results showed that there were energy transformations among sectorsaccording to the direction of industry chain. It indicated that some low energyconsumption industries were anchored to high energy consumption industries, andgrowth in these low-energy industries would lift the energy consumption ofhigh-energy industries. By downsizing the final demand and improving the energyefficiency could help energy conservation.2. Iron and steel industry is an important pillar industry in China. It nettransferred a lot of energy to the economic system through energy linkages. There arealso a lot of embodied energy transferred from China to other countries throughinternational trade. In this case, China should continue to strengthen energy-savingand emission reduction in iron and steel industry. Make a contribution to theconstruction of a resource-saving and environmental friendly society through theoptimization of the trade structure.3. The dividing analysis showed that there were differences among the historicaldevelopment of provinces, natural resource endowment and regional role of working,complying with the macroeconomic development of objective la ws and economiclocation theory. In addition to a small number of developed areas, the other regions inChina are difficult to change their economic and energy structure in a short period oftime. The low-carbon policies should be focused on improving the energy-savinglevel of high-carbon industries.
