An Empirical Analysis Of Carbon Dioxide Emission Factors Shaanxi Province

To get to the low carbon economy, it’s a systemic developing process, which consists of low carbon development, low carbon economy and low carbon society. Within this process, each developing phase with distinct connotation and extension faces with different question for growth. How the economy gain the powerful strong growth, especially for Regional economic development, must take the resource and environmental constraints into account. Based on actual economic developing features of Shaanxi province, this paper delves into the influencing factors of carbon dioxide emission with perspective of low carbon development.First of all, via index decomposition analysis, this paper expresses three levels of carbon dioxide emission drivers referring to macro-and micro-points of view. Besides vector characteristic of each factors is also presented in this part. Second, STIRPAT model is used for the quantitative relation analysis between variables in order to achieve regression of carbon dioxide to the factors, and of energy consumption. Finally, thinking of the effectiveness, selectivity and necessity for industry low carbonization, some exploratory recommendations are proposed strategically.The empirical conclusions show that: scale of production and energy intensity have dominant impact on carbon dioxide emission with the macro perspective, while the population scale and the per capita energy consumption holds powerful effect of significance. Regression analysis gets insight into the high elastic impact of per capita GDP, the proportion of secondary industry on carbon dioxide emission. The future trend of carbon dioxide still keeps rising. Faced with environmental constraint, a policy of industry low carbonization seems to be an optimal alternative.
