SITUATION AND FACTORS DECOMPOSITION OF CARBON EMISSION IN XINJIANG'S ENERGY CONSUMPTION

This paper,aiming at the reasons for Xinjiang's carbon emission growth,analyzes energy use situation,the amount of carbon emissions,emission trend of three industries,carbon emission intensity,per capita carbon emission,and uses LMDI according to the established factor decomposition model to decompose the carbon emission factors.It also quantitatively analyses economic development,population,emission factors,energy structure,energy use intensity,industrial structure from 1985-2009.The results indicate that economic development and population growth are the dominant factors that lead to the increase in carbon emissions.Adjustment of energy structure and industrial structure,and reduction of energy use intensity help reduce the amount of carbon emissions.This paper presents suggestions in carbon emission reduction.
