- Abstract
Identifying the main influencing factors of carbon emission change in manufacturing is essential for making sound mitigation policies and boosting China to achieve emission peak early. Classifying manufacturing industry into high-, medium- and low-energy consumption categories, this paper employed LMDI approach to decompose energy-related carbon emissions in China's manufacturing from 1992 to 2012 into five driving factors. The results show that: (1) During the periods of 1996-2002, 2002-2007 and 2007-2012, the annual growth rate of manufacturing carbon emissions is 1.84%, 17.45% and 5.72% respectively. (2) Manufacturing value-added is the primary positive driving factor of carbon emission change, whose contribution rate to manufacturing carbon emissions ranges from 92.95% to 345.59%. Energy intensity is the leading negative driving factor, whose contribution rate is from -3.95% to -216.43%. (3) Manufacturing structure is generally a negative driving factor dominated by high energy consumption industries, such as Chemistry, Non-metallic mineral products and Metal smelting.
