Association between Carbon Emissions and Energy Consumption Structure in Hebei Province

Abstract:

Based on the results of SSM, regional natural endowment conditions, the stage of economic development and the industrial structure evolution determine the energy consumption structure, while the changes in total energy consumption determine the changes in amount of carbon emissions. Under the premise of the total energy consumption is determined, the optimization of energy consumption structure will reduce the carbon intensity (emissions per unit of GDP), that is to achieve low-input, low-emission energy, high output, which is the essence of the low carbon economic development model. Hebei Energy consumption is heavily dependent on coal; however, coal utilization efficiency is low and unit energy carbon emissions are huge, therefore, energy structure dominated by carbon-based energy is a long-term constraint of the development of low carbon economy. Energy consumption structure is composed of regional natural endowments, the stage of economic development and industrial structure, and it is difficult to change in the short term.
