Analysis of carbon emission and emission reduction potentialin shaanxi province

Abstract

The rapid development of China' s economy and society is obtained at the cost of the consumption of energy, especially fossil energy. And the coal-based energy consumption structure enables China to become the largest carbon dioxide emitter in the world. With the enhancement of global greenhouse effect, ecological environment deterioration is becoming increasingly serious. Carbon emission reduction has become one of the most important international issues. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, China has also actively responded to energy conservation and emission reduction.As a major energy province in China, Shaanxi province plays a critical role in the national energy supply, and it was also listed as the first batch of low-carbon pilot areas in 2010. In recent years, relying on its own energy advantages, Shaanxi has witnessed rapid economic growth, but the resource stock and environmental carrying capacity cannot withstand the high intensity of resource consumption and environmental pollution under the traditional resource mode. As the first batch of "low-carbon development"pilot provinces, adjusting the industrial structure, changing the mode of economic development and realizing "low-carbon economy"have become the urgent problems to be solved in Shaanxi Province.
