Evolution of Carbon Emission of Fossil Fuel Final Consumption in China: Industrial - Spatial Perspective

Abstract:

This paper uses Chinas statistical data by industry and by region in 1995-2010 to calculate the carbon emission caused by the fossil fuel consumption. The total amount of carbon emission in 2010 was about 1.9 billion tons and it shows an increase of 150% compared with that in 1995, which shows a rapid increase year by year.The differentiation of carbon emission by industry is significant, while the manufacturing and transportation are the major emitting sectors. The differentiation of carbon emissions by region is significant as well, while the developed region and resource-rich region are the high emission regions. Some areas like Inner Mongolia have a very high speed growth.
