Carbon emissions from energy consumption of Shandong province from 1995 to 2012 are calculated. Three zero-residual decomposition models (LMDI, MRCI and Shapley value models) are introduced for decomposing carbon emissions. Based on the results, Kendall coordination coefficient method is employed for testing their compatibility, and an optimal weighted combination decomposition model is constru...

With China’s rapid economic growth, energy-related CO2 emissions have experienced a dramatic increase. Quantification of energy-related CO2 emissions that occur in China is of serious concern for the policy makers to make efficient environmental policies without damaging the economic growth. Examining 33 productive sectors in China, this paper combined the extended “Kaya identity” and “IPAT mod...

China has overtaken the United States as the world’s largest producer of carbon dioxide, with industrial carbon emissions (ICE) accounting for approximately 65% of the country’s total emissions. Understanding the ICE decoupling patterns and factors influencing the decoupling status is a prerequisite for balancing economic growth and carbon emissions. This paper provides an overview of ICE based...

Reducing food losses (FL) is a promising way of improving security. This much more urgent for the developing world with high level insecurity. However, driving factors contributing to changes FL are poorly understood. Here, we report on an investigation into contribution five potential in Cameroon between 1994 and 2013, using Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) approach. The results showed th...

In recent years, China has developed rapidly in terms of natural gas. Driven by regional economic integration, a gas market composed neighboring provinces and cities taken shape gradually, it tends to grow toward the same direction policy formulation, resource coordination, facility construction expansion. Based on factors such as geographical location, conditions consumption, this thesis condu...

Rapid economic growth in Northwest China has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in carbon emissions. Based on the two-level Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, this study decomposes changes in energy-related carbon emissions in Northwest China during 1995–2012 from the regional and provincial perspectives. Further, by constructing an expanded decomposition model of the decoupling...

As the largest solid waste (SW) generator in the world, China is facing serious pollution issues induced by increasing quantities of SW. The sustainability assessment of SW management is very important for designing relevant policy for further improving the overall efficiency of solid waste management (SWM). By focusing on industrial solid waste (ISW) and municipal solid waste (MSW), the paper ...

Energy can be considered both a resource and carbon intensive sector with the potential to promote adverse effects. One of these is climate change that distresses multiple dimensions of sustainability both on developed and emerging countries. Therefore, efforts to achieve energy sustainability should strive for emission reductions that promote impact decoupling, namely between energyrelated CO2...

Hebei Province in China is facing a serious water shortage, which further aggravated by the pressure of industrial transfer and unreasonable structure use. To explore relationship between use carbon emissions, this study, refined logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) decomposition method was developed to analyze driving factors during 2008–2019 from emission sectoral perspectives. The results s...
