A Decomposition Analysis of Developing Low-Carbon Economy in Dalian Industry Sector

Abstract:

In this paper, we utilize Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) techniques to decompose different components —CO₂ emission factor, industrial energy mix, industrial energy intensity, industrial-scale structure, industrial structure, economic activity, family size and family households—which contribute to the changes in CO₂ emissions in Dalian industry sector based on industry economy and CO₂ emissions data in Dalian from 2000 to 2009. The results show that the economic activity was the main component for CO₂ emissions increase, and energy intensity was the most favorable component in developing low-carbon economy in Dalian industry sector, and optimize energy mix could contribute to a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions.
