Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Energy Consumption and Projections in Shaanxi Province

Abstract

Using the calculation methodology based on energy consumption, the amount of carbon emissions due to energy consumption in Shaanxi province were calculated from 2000 to 2010. The decreasing trends in carbon emission were analyzed in terms of energy structure, economic growth and industry structure. The increasing of carbon oxide emission of energy consumption of Shaanxi province was mainly drove by economic increasing. The carbon emission of the Secondary industry is the biggest one in energy consumption which is 60% in the gross carbon emission, then, the Tertiary industry is 20% of the gross carbon emission.
