Analysis of Hunan Province Industry’s Carbon Emission Based on the Energy Consumption Structure

Abstract:

Energy consumption carbon emission factor method was used to analyze the carbon emission evolution of industrial energy consumption in Hunan Province with collected data on industrial energy consumption in 2000-2012. Results had shown that Hunan province industry’s carbon emission keep increasing in 2000-2012. There is a highly correlation between the total coal consumption and carbon emission of industrial energy carbon emission. Industrial energy consumption structure plays a decisive role in carbon emission. Industrial economic growth at the expense of high energy consumption in 2000-2005 has changed. Industrial carbon intensity has a fluctuated downward trend from 2005 to 2012. From the perspective of carbon emission per industrial output and industrial energy consumption structure, there is a large potential for carbon emission control in Hunan industrial energy consumption. Therefore, the main way to control carbon emission of industrial energy consumption in Hunan Province is to optimize the energy structure, reasonable adjustment of industry structure, improve energy technical level, proper control the growth of energy consumption.
