Decomposition of energy-related CO2 emission in China: 1957-2000
This paper analyzes the change of aggregated CO2 in China from 1957 to 2000 based on a complete decomposition approach-the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method. The study indicates that China has achieved a considerable decrease in its CO2 emissions mainly due to improved energy intensity. In addition, fuel switching and renewable energy penetration also exhibit positive effect to the CO2 decrease. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
