Research on the Development of China’s Emission Reduction Based on Low Carbon Economy

Abstract:

This paper built up a forecasting model for CO₂ emission and calcutaled the CO₂ emissions of 30 provinces (cities) in China. It’s been found that the CO₂ emission amount varies greatly in different provinces (cities). We find that the capacity of energy conservation and emmision reduction of eastern region is best, the western region is in the middle level, while the central region is not good enough. Based on the above, this paper proposed concrete suggestions on energy saving and emission reduction.They are not only in line the national policies but also have took consideration of the economic and social development of different areas.
