Identification of Influencing Factors for the Carbon Growth in China's Construction Industry Based on Structural Decomposition Analysis
The construction industry is a key area for China to implement the dual-carbon goal.In order to identify the main influencing factors of the growth of carbon emissions in the construction industry,this article constructs a carbon emission accounting and structural decomposition analysis model based on data from 1997 to 2017.Subsequently,the impact of different factors and their trends over time are analyzed.Finally,the growth of carbon emissions in the construction industry is decomposed from the perspectives of energy and industry.The results show that the final demand scale effect is the most critical factor driving the growth of carbon emissions.The carbon emissions intensity effect has always played an inhibitory role in carbon emissions growth,but this inhibitory effect weakens over time.The industrial correlation effect plays an inhibitory role most of the time.At the energy level,coal and electricity contribute the most.At the industrial level,the petroleum processing and coking industry smelting and pressing of metals industry,as well as the production and supply of electricity and heat industry,have the most significant impacts.
