Factor Decomposition of Carbon Emissions from Energy Consumption of Shanxi Province Based on LMDI

摘要

This paper based on the "2006 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories" to measure a variety of energy carbon emission coefficient and calculate the carbon emission from energy consumption of Shanxi Province in 2004-2013. Using the application of logarithmic mean weight decomposition method (LMDI), Shanxi Province carbon emissions from energy consumption is divided into four aspects, economic growth, industrial structure, energy intensity, energy consumption structure. The results of the study show that: taking 2003 as a base period, economic growth is the biggest driving factor of energy consumption carbon emission in Shanxi Province; Energy intensity is the biggest factor to curb carbon emissions; industrial structure also has a promoting effect on energy consumption carbon emission, but it is obviously smaller than the effect of economic growth; energy consumption structure both has positive and negative effects on carbon emission, and its positive effect is greater than negative. Finally, many corresponding suggestions are put forward based on the results of the analysis.
