Tracking Carbon Emissions from China’s Textile Sector

Abstract:

The textile industry is usually a high carbon industry. Based on material flow analysis’s tow fundamental and well-established scientific principles of system approach and mass balance, input-output model is introduced to track CO₂ emissions from China’s textile sector. Estimations showed that the textile sector was responsible for 2.7% of China’s production sectors’ direct CO₂ emission, ranking 10th among defined 53 productions sectors. And the total CO₂ footprint for producing domestic and foreign final use by textile sector was at 208 Mt CO₂ with 95% from domestic energy use, directly and indirectly, while 93% for supporting exports.
