Decomposition of energy-related CO2 emission in China: 1957–2000

Examining the effects of urbanization and industrialization on carbon dioxide emission: Evidence from China's provincial regions

“…Most of them confirm that the main influencing factors are energy intensity, energy mix, gross domestic product structure, and GDP itself [3,4,10,22,30,32,33]. Wang et al [19] decomposed the carbon emissions into population, GDP per capita, energy consumption intensity and energy consumption structure and concluded that the total theoretical decrease of CO 2 emission from 1957 to 2000 can be attributed to fossil fuel mix and renewable energy penetration. Besides, some studies argued that the reduction in CO 2 emissions can be attributed to the reduced energy intensity and fuel switching and renewable energy penetration.…”

China's Growing CO2 EmissionsA Race between Increasing Consumption and Efficiency Gains

“…Both studies found efficiency improvements were most important with structural changes being of minor importance. There have been several index decompositions studies (18)(19)(20)(21), but these studies cannot provide the sectoral detail that is found in SDA (22).…”

Carbon inequality at the sub-national scale: A case study of provincial-level inequality in CO2 emissions in China 1997–2007

“…Similarly, studies of income inequality in China have previously not considered the environmental dimensions of development (notable exceptions being He and Wang (2007) and Poon et al (2006)). Meanwhile, while the literature on decomposition of CO 2 emissions in China is quite rich (Fan et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2005), to our knowledge no studies have examined CO 2 emissions in China from the perspective of CO 2 emissions inequalities. We hope to contribute to this literature by seeing whether regional patterns of income inequality are similarly mapped in environmental impact.…”
