On the EIO-LCA Model of Embodied Carbon Emissions and Carbon Reduction Potential in Jiangxi Province
low-carbon economic development is one of the important ways to achieve sustainable development.This paper displays the economic input-output life cycle assessment model(EIO-LCA)to calculate the direct carbon emissions and embodied carbon emissions of various industrial sectors in Jiangxi Province by using the input-output table of 42 sectors and the internationally recognized IPCC method.A carbon emission reduction potential model was constructed to reveal the carbon emission reduction effects caused by the structural changes of industrial sectors.The results show that the direct carbon emissions of basic industrial sectors are relatively high in the heavy industry and energy industry.The top three sectors are the production and supply of electricity and heat,petroleum,coking products and nuclear fuel processing industry,and metal smelting and rolling products industry.In the future,Jiangxi Province should implement differentiated emission reduction policies according to the characteristics of different industrial sectors,and optimize the industrial structure to achieve positive industrial interaction.
