Abstract
The paper calculates the total volume of CO2 emission of the logistics industry in China, the consumption factor and distribution factor based on the statistical yearbook and the input-output table, and analyzes the correlation between CO2 emission in the logistics industry and other industries of China. The result suggests that its total CO2 emission volume shows a linear upward trend, but its average growth rate and emission intensity are going down year by year. As the CO2 emission from the logistics industry is closely forward-correlated with that of the manufacturing, the construction industry and the logistics industry, it has a strong driving impact on the CO2 emission of the industries concerned. Meanwhile, the backward-correlation with the manufacturing and the electric power, gas and water production and supply industries, and the logistics industry makes the logistics industry the greatest consumer of CO2 emission from these industries. The development of the low CO2 emission-oriented logistics industry requires a reduction of indirect CO2 emission in the forward-correlated industries as well as the backward-correlated industries.
