Computation Effects of Restructuring China’s Energy Intensive Industries CO2 Emissions Based on STRIPAT Model
Restructuring the energy intensive industries is one of most important ways that promote the lowcarbon economy of China. How to design the steps of reducing the importance of energy intensive industries in the overall economy is meaningful. This paper gives STIRPAT algorithm (Stochastic
impacts by regression on population, affluence, and technology) to calculate the CO2 emissions effects between population, affluence, the ratio of energy intensive industries’ output in the overall industry and the ratio of tertiary industrial added value in GDP. And then
the data during 1993–2012 was used to simulating the long-term situation in different scenarios. The results show that, comparing the growth of population and affluence, the reduction in the ratio of energy intensive industry output in the overall industry and the improvement in ratio
of tertiary industrial added value in GDP contribute more to the reduction of CO2 emissions, which means it is possible for China to balance its carbon reduction goal and economic growth.
