Dynamic Analysis on Carbon Footprint of Energy Utlization in Guangdong Province

Abstract:

The paper calculated the Carbon footprint, Carbon Footprint Density, Value of Carbon Footprint Carbon Footprint Intensity, Ecological Pressure Intensity of Carbon Footprint of Guangdong energy consumption in 1990-2011, using the relevant concepts and research methodsthe carbon footprint.The results shows that The Guangdong per capita energy consumption carbon footprint continueed to rise from 1990 to 2011; In the energy consumption carbon footprint gross composition, coal carbon footprint was the maximum, followed by crude oil, natural gas was the last. The Guangdong primary energy utilization structure did not improve and optimize; The Guangdong energy consumption carbon footprint density increased gradually and the pressure of carbon emission reduction increased gradually; The Guangdong economy progress was good in the past 20 years, the Guangdong economic value created by energy consumption carbon footprint became stable in the 3 years; The Guangdong ecological pressure intensity of carbon footprint was increased in 1990-2011, and became 1.8925 in 2011.
