西部地区碳排放特征及发展低碳经济途径分析

CHARACTERISTICS OF CARBON EMISSION AND THE WAYS OF DEVELOPING LOW-CARBON ECONOMY IN THE WESTERN REGION

在分析西部地区1995—2009年碳排放特征的基础上,结合西部地区发展低碳经济的客观因素,提出西部地区发展低碳经济的建议。研究表明:1995—2009年西部地区经济增长与碳排放呈现出倒N型的三次曲线;西部地区产业碳排放中,工业占主导;地区碳排放量居首位的是内蒙古,内蒙古同时也是碳排放增长最快的自治区;西部地区经济增长、能源消费、碳排放呈现出同向增加的趋势;西部地区优越的资源条件和地理条件是发展低碳经济的必要条件。从打造西部低碳产业体系、优化能源生产和能源消费结构、加强技术创新和倡导低碳消费等方面提出西部地区发展低碳经济的建议。

This paper analyzes carbon emission characteristics of western region in 1995-2009 and proposes some suggestions for western region to develop low-carbon economy,taking into account the reality of low-carbon economy development in the western region.The research shows that western region's economic growth and carbon emission between 1995-2000 form an inverted N-shaped cubic,with industry taking the lead in western region's industrial carbon emission.Inner Mongolia,with its fastest increase,takes the first place in regional carbon emission.Western region's economic growth,energy consumption,and carbon emission show the same tendency of increase.Both western region's predominance of resources and geographical conditions are necessary for developing low-carbon economy.Finally,the authors suggest that western region develop low-carbon economy by means of establishing a system of low-carbon industry,of optimizing energy production and consumption,of taking technological innovation as the core,and of advocating low-carbon consumption and so on.
