Research on Driving Factors of Carbon Emission in Chinese Automobile Manufacturing Industry
Taking China's automobile manufacturing industry as the research target,this paper used the carbon emission factor method to measure the carbon emissions of China's automobile manufacturing industry from 2012 to 2021,and the generalized Divisia index decomposition method to decompose and analyze the carbon emission driving factors such as operating income,energy consumption and investment scale as well.The results showed that the carbon emissions of China's automobile manufacturing industry showed an increasing state as a whole from 2012 to 2021,and the carbon emissions of the industry did not reach the peak.The operating income,energy consumption scale and carbon intensity of energy consumption in the automobile manufacturing industry indicated a strong promotion effect.Investment intensity and energy intensity were the main factors to inhibit carbon dioxide emissions,and the carbon intensity of operating income and investment carbon intensity were both inhibited first and then promoted.Based on the research,it was proposed that the government should guide the direction of innovation,and enterprises should increase innovation and research and development to improve energy efficiency.
