52355 Figure 1 Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions contribution value trend map Figure 2 Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions that the contribution of variations in the trend chart From figure 1 we can see that Inner Mongolia's per capita carbon emission have been increasing during 2001 to 2010. The energy structure changes to positive direction with the Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions growth. These two factors represented positive effect. The energy efficiency changes in opposite direction with Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions growth. These two factors represented negative effect. Coal occupies the main status in Inner Mongolia's energy structure. From table 2, we can see that the proportion of coal in the energy structure has been more than 90% which is significantly higher than the national average level. Thus coal in recent ten years has been positively effecting the carbon emissions. Coal per capita emissions rose from 1. 29 tons in 2001 to 5. 32 tons in 2010. In recent years, the power of Inner Mongolia's energy conservation and emission reduction is increasing. The pace of industrial structure adjustment is speeding up. The proportion of high energy consumption industry is reducing. But the energy efficiency of reducing carbon emissions' increase is limited. Economy development to increase the Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions contribution value is far greater than the contribution values of energy efficiency, which leads to sharp increasing of Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions. In figure 1, economic growth is almost the same exponential growth trend with carbon emissions, which contributes nearly ten times increase of the Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions(from 0. 64773 tons in 2001 to 5. 11418 tons in 2010). Thus it can be seen the economic growth is the main factor of Inner Mongolia carbon emissions growth. In order to compare the rate of contribution between the pull factors and restraining factors in Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions and strengthen the comparability of each factor, we take reciprocal of the inhibiting factor's increasing contribution ratio and make it become reducing contribution rate in Inner Mongolia per capita carbon emissions(the change trend is shown in figure 2). As we can see from the graph that the ratio of contribution from economy growth to carbon emissions was exponentially grow, while inhibiting factor increased from 0. 72766 in 2001 to 0. 88459 in 2006, then fell to 0. 68994 in 2010, and this trend conforms the inverted U type shown in figure 2. However, the influence of pull effect is far greater than inhibition effect and Inner Mongolia carbon emissions growth also presents exponential growth. Conclusions Since the development of the western region, there are many reasons counted for the exponential growth of carbon emissions in Inner Mongolia. On the one hand, economic growth has been driving a big demand of the energy. On the other hand, the carbon emissions can't be separated from the Inner Mongolia's coal-dominant energy consumption structure. Although the Inner Mongolia energy efficiency is continuously improved, it is still difficult to counteract increase carbon emissions driven by the economic growth. Optimize energy structure. It is important reasons for high carbon emissions that the characteristic of economic development mode is high carbon and the characteristic of energy consumption mode is coal-dominant in Inner Mongolia. Therefore, Inner Mongolia should actively adjust the energy consumption structure and vigorously develop the highly effective clean energy. Improve energy utilization efficiency. For the inhibitory action of the efficiency of energy utilization in Inner Mongolia carbon emissions, we should further improve the efficiency of energy utilization. The government should encourage the enterprises to introduce the high efficiency and energy saving equipments by reducing taxes and financing support. Improve low carbon technology research and development capabilities. To develop the low carbon economy, the key lies in technological innovation. We should strengthen the R&D and promotion of the core technology, master the technology of the high efficiency and cleansing coal utilization and new energy power generation mode. References.
