Analysis of Carbon Footprint of Energy Consumption in He’nan Province Based on LMD Model

Abstract:

This article used the Logarithmic Mean weight Divisia Index(LMDI),analyzed the dynamic changes of carbon footprint of the energy consumption and its influencing factors in He’nan province from 1991 to 2010. The results showed that the carbon footprint and its pressure were increasing, and the carbon footprint intensity was decreasing; Economic development was the main factor of the increasing of carbon footprint in He’nan province, the influences of population scales and energy structure on carton footprint was relatively small; the efficiency of energy use was the main factor to restrain the increasing of carbon footprint; optimizing the energy structure and reducing the ratio of coal in energy consumption were the important means to slow down the increasing of carton footprint in He’nan province.
