Research on Regional Differences of Carbon Productivity in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper calculates the total carbon emissions on the basis of energy consumption data of 29 provinces by using IPCC reference approach and analysis the emission structure of carbon dioxide. Carbon productivity is calculated and the interprovincial and regional differences are studied. The results show that the main source of emission structure of carbon dioxide is coal. Significant differences on carbon productivity exist in inter-provincial as well as the three regions, carbon productivity in the eastern region is the highest, followed by the middle, the west is the lowest. According to the result, relative policy suggestions are put forward in the last.
