Identifying the key drivers of CO2 emissions in China 1990 - 2015: An approach using the LMDI approach.
(2018) EKHS21 20181Department of Economic History
- Abstract
- This study examines China’s CO2 emissions from 1990 – 2015. Using the LMDI decomposition analysis to calculate energy factors, in order to identify the key sectors contributing to CO2 emissions. While the paper will also take forecasted scenarios from other research alongside consideration of China’s policy implementations in effect in order to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper also uses the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) to examine the relation of economic growth, energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and provide an explanation where China currently stands along this path.
