Factor Decomposition of Energy-induced Carbon Emission and Countermeasures in Industry of Binhai New Area, China
Industrial sector, the largest consumer of fossil energy in most regions around the world, has made a significant contribution to the increase of carbon dioxide atmospheric concentrations. This paper aims to analyze the influencing factors that have caused changes in carbon emissions induced by industrial sector of Tianjin Binbai New Area (an important special administrative region in north China) over a 5-year period. To this end, a decomposition model of carbon emission is set up by adopting LogMean Divisia Index method and adopted to analyze the influence of three factors, i.e., structural change, energy efficiency and economic growth. The results showed that structural change and economic growth had caused the increase of industrial carbon emissions, and the former factor was a dominant explanation for the increase. The results also demonstrated that energy efficiency was an obvious driver to the carbon reduction, by which we could draw a conclusion that technical progress had caused the emission reduction. Based on these findings, it appears that TBNA should consider several targeted countermeasures to reduce regional carbon emission, such as establishing multiple-access financing mechanism, encouraging R&D on low carbon technology, enhancing the development of low carbon industry, and participating in the international cooperation actively.
