“…The other kind of research on CO2 emissions reduction was from the perspective of final use, which was based on energy consumption for the residents and government (Krey et al, 2012;Fan et al, 2013). On the basis of the life cycle analysis, Zhi and Gao(2009) analyzed the impact of China's residents on carbon emissions from food consumption between 1990 and 2006. Their research showed that the China's carbon footprint was increasing due to food consumption, and the direct impact of China food consumption on CO2 emission was just a small share of the total carbon emissions from the perspective of the life cycle of food consumption, and food transportation contributed about 30% CO2 emissions.…”

The global greenhouse effect caused by excessive energy CO2 emissions has seriously affected the sustainable development of the society, and energy consumption and production mainly come from industrial system and energy system. This paper used the structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and the input-output analysis to study the structural emission reduction of China's industrial and energy systems in 2007-2015.The results showed that: (1) From the analysis of structural factors, the final demand effect was the main factor to promote the growth of energy CO2 emissions, and the energy intensity effect played a weak role in promoting the growth of energy CO2 emissions. (2) From the perspective of energy systems, the emission reduction effect of blast furnace gas, raw coal, refinery dry gas and natural gas is obvious, while that of crude oil, gasoline, fuel oil and kerosene is not obvious. (3) From the perspective of China's industrial systems, the tertiary industry played a major role in the final demand effect, followed by secondary industries and the primary industry in turn. Finally, this paper provided a theoretical basis and realistic guiding route for the accurate and efficient emissions reduction of energy system and China's industrial system.
