Key features of changes in China’s industrial structure
Since the reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in China's industrial structure. Figure 1.3 depicts the changing trend of the proportion of China’s primary, secondary and tertiary industries in the national economy between 1978 and 2013. It can be seen that the proportion of the primary...

Industrial structure and climate change
After the separate elaboration on the areas and characteristics of carbon emissions within the three industries, the final emission effects brought about by the different combinations of the three industries need to be comprehensively considered. Changes in industrial structure will affect climate change...

Research on the relationship between interprovincial industrial structure, income level and CO2 emissions
Global warming is an indisputable fact. A lot of the evidence shows that CO2-based human-induced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the main reasons. Global warming poses a serious threat to human production and life, and is related to the sustainable development of human society. Therefore, it has received...

Quantitative evaluation and analysis of CO2 emissions in China’s industrial sector
Chapter 5 mainly quantitatively evaluates the impact of six major productive industries on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a macro perspective. The conclusions show that industry is an important source of GHG emissions, and the expansion of the industrial sector and the proportion of industry's economic...

Features of industrial production structure in China
In 1996, the total industrial output value of the 33 industrial sectors covered by the sample was 602.25 billion yuan. In 2009, it increased to 479.495 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 17.3%. We first mapped the industrial output value of various industrial sectors between 1996 and...

Decomposition of China’s industrial CO2 emissions
In the research sector, the output of China’s industrial sector showed a continuous growth trend. Compared with 1996, the total industrial output value in 2009 increased by nearly 7 times, while the fossil energy consumption and CO2 emissions only increased by about 1 time. Among them, the phenomenon...
