Abstract
The arrival of the “double carbon” era indicates that industrial carbon reduction with high energy consumption and high carbon emission is imperative. From the perspective of carbon emission driving factors, industrial carbon emission is decomposed into five influencing factors: energy intensity, energy structure, industrial structure, economic efficiency, and employee scale. Taking the data of 41 subindustries of industrial industry in Liaoning Province from 2010 to 2019 as the research sample, the carbon emission is calculated. The LMDI model is used to analyze and point out the difference in the driving contribution of carbon emissions of each subindustry. The results show that the total carbon emission of Liaoning province gradually decreases, decreases for the first time in 2014, and gradually turns from flat to upward. Economic efficiency is the only and most important reason to drive the increase of industrial carbon emissions in Liaoning Province, and energy efficiency is the primary factor to curb carbon emissions. High carbon industries play a significant role in promoting the increase of carbon emissions, while the medium and low carbon industries have a better effect on restraining carbon emissions. It provides reference and theoretical basis for the government to adjust the industrial structure, control industrial overcapacity, and realize the “double carbon” goal as soon as possible. It is of great significance for the country to optimize energy layout, ensure energy security, and implement the new energy strategy.

As one of the most important material production departments in the national economy, industry is responsible for processing and assembling natural resources and raw materials, providing raw materials, fuel, and driving force for the industry itself and other sectors of the national economy, as well as providing industrial and industrial consumer goods for the people’s material and cultural life
Andreand Valenciano-Salazar considered the environmental management system standards, the AHP method was used to analyze 24 companies and institutions in Costa Rica, and the results showed that the score of carbon neutrality (CN) is higher than the environmental management system standards. erefore, they suggested that the adoption of environmental certification by organizations should be treated as a multistandard problem considering environmental sustainability, economy, and strategy [5]
At the same time, based on the LMDI decomposition method, we find out the real driving factors behind the growth of carbon dioxide emissions from industrial industries in Liaoning Province and give targeted suggestions from the macro and micro levels, so as to provide a method for the country to conduct horizontal comparison among provinces and vertical comparison among subdivided industries, which is of certain significance to achieve the goal of “double carbon” with high quality
Summary
As one of the most important material production departments in the national economy, industry is responsible for processing and assembling natural resources and raw materials, providing raw materials, fuel, and driving force for the industry itself and other sectors of the national economy, as well as providing industrial and industrial consumer goods for the people’s material and cultural life. With the large-scale development and use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere increased significantly, and the global carbon emission reached more than 34 billion tons in 2019. China will increase its national independent contribution, adopt more effective policies and measures, strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. In the “double carbon” era, it is of great significance for the country to further adapt to the global trend and tide by measuring and decoupling the carbon intensity of various industries in order to better achieve the double carbon goal and point out the direction for the industry as the fundamental guarantee of national economic independence, political independence, and national defense modernization. Among China’s domestic provincial carbon emission intensity in 2019, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Ningxia have higher carbon emission intensity [2]
