Abstract

LMDI method is used to decompose the factors of per capita carbon emissions from household energy consumption of Guangdong province from 2008 to 2015. In this paper, the impact from economic growth, energy structure, energy intensity and energy-carbon emission intensity is explored and quantified. The results indicate that economic growth is the most important factor for the continuous per capita carbon emissions growth from household energy consumption, and energy-carbon emission intensity and energy intensity are the main factors to inhibit carbon emission growth. To achieve the reduction of carbon emission, the primary strategies in Guangdong province should be adjusting the energy structure, deep processing primary energy products, developing renewable clean energy, upgrading energy technologies, and improving energy efficiency.
