China is now in urgent need to accelerate the transformation of the economic development model, promoting industrial structure upgrades in order to reduce carbon emissions. The goals are to relieve energy constraints, guarantee economic security, and reduce environmental pressures. This study calculated the industrial influence coefficients (IIC) and the industrial carbon emission coefficients (ICEC) of all industries in China in 2007. A system dynamics model was built to simulate the GDP growth and total carbon emissions in three scenarios. Scenario analyses have shown that the industrial structure adjustment based on the calculations of IIC and ICEC is better than the one based on the
Chinese Industrial Restructuring Catalogue. This study provides a solid research foundation for the government to adjust the industrial structure and reduce carbon emissions. |
