Abstract

The industrial structure strategy in China has to change to adjust new requirements, because of the economic development, industrial evolution, the policy of energy saving and greenhouse gas emissions constraints. This paper aims to explaining the relationships between the industrial structure and carbon intensity, the regional differences between provinces in China based on recent economic data, including internal industry structure, carbon emissions, industrial carbon productivity in different industry in 2001-2010 in China. The case in this paper mainly focuses on Tianjin, China. In this case, industry influent coefficient and industry carbon emission influent coefficient are measured. Meanwhile, four different categories are divided by measurement values, such as Low-impact and High-Carbon Emission Industry Sectors, Low-impact and Low-Carbon Emission Industry Sectors, High-Impact High-Carbon Emission Industry Sectors, High-Impact Low-Carbon Emission Industry Sectors. The important industry sectors and its development strategy in Tianjin are proposed and the priori analysis to the macroeconomic influence by industrial structure adjustment is given later. The results of priori analysis showed that: the important industry and its development strategy can reduce the carbon emission combining with several policies. The proposed policies in last part of this paper include Industry Sectors Adoption Policy, Industry Layout Policy, Financial Policy, Environment Policy, technology Policy, Energy Efficiency Policy, and Industry Association Policy in the low-carbon development constraints.   Key words: Industry structure adjustment, optimized path, industrial influent index, Industrial carbon emission influent index, Tianjin

Summary

Introduction

The participants of 192 countries have committed themselves to reducing the emotions of carbon dioxide and other green gas to avoid “dangerous interference in the climate system” in the UN climate summit on 7th18th, December 2009 (Gavin and David, 2009); the way to realize the above objectives is very difficult for policy-maker around the word. Low Carbon Economy is a new form of social economic growth, which specialized in technological innovation, system innovation, industrial low-carbon adjustment and new energy development. China has achieved rapid economic growth in recent decades, its policies prefer industrialization and. GDP, energy production and energy consumption growth rate of China. Urbanization over environment production, which results in high resource input, high energy consumption, high pollution emission and serious environmental problem. The carbon emission of China shares the one of the word specific weight, 7.89% in 1981, but 21.01% in 2007. China faces significant pressure to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases
