Abstract

This paper will be based on the existing literature and research methods, with the 1980 to 2014 China’s residential carbon emissions estimates. This paper mainly examines the changes in total residential carbon emissions and per capita carbon emissions, energy consumption per unit of household energy consumption, carbon emissions and energy composition of the above-mentioned analysis of urban and rural compared with the international comparison.

Highlights

From the concept of energy, energy as a carrier of energy and a basic source of power is an important input factor for economic growth
The relationship between energy consumption, carbon emissions and economic growth has become the focus of current research, which is caused by the global climate change caused by carbon emissions
Numerous studies show that the causes of global climate change lie in human energy consumption, which consumes a large amount of carbon-based energy during the course of economic growth, resulting in a large amount of carbon dioxide

Summary

Introduction

From the concept of energy, energy as a carrier of energy and a basic source of power is an important input factor for economic growth. The consumption of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas is the terminal consumption of primary energy, and its carbon emissions can be calculated based on the carbon emission factors of various types of energy sources. This shows that in the past years, China's energy consumption and corresponding increase in carbon emissions mainly come from the industrial sector.
