Study of the Correlation Between Carbon Consumption and Economy Development in Provinces of China

摘要：

In this study, carbon emission factors of raw coal and its derivative products in China were estimated based on reference methods provided by IPCC. In addition, End-user carbon consumption and GDP averaged carbon consumption for 30 provinces of China were calculated based on the end-user energy consumption data of these provinces in 2007 and the default parameters recommended by IPCC. Based on these results, together with the GDP per capita index, provinces under the study were classified to three groups according to the correlation between carbon consumption and economy development of these provinces: coordinative, rather coordinative and not coordinative. Analysis shows that the composition of the carbon consumption and carbon production efficiency are two major factors that impact the coordination between carbon consumption and economy development in the studied provinces. Furthermore, strategies for coordinating carbon consumption and economy development at province level in China were proposed, which include appropriate policy guidance, adjusting industry structure, improving carbon production efficiency and advocating of sustainable life style.
