Abstract: In order to analyze the influence factors of carbon emissions in the region of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and explore the path to develop low-carbon economy, this paper starts with the terminal energy consumption of three industries and residential consumption, and constructs an identical equation, which is composed of the population size, level of economic development, energy intensity, the proportion of energy consumption, energy structure and the coefficient of carbon emission. Based on the data of terminal energy consumption during 2000-2012, various factors are analyzed and their contribution is measured by LMDI (Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index). The result shows that, the scale of population and economy make positive driving effect, energy intensity, energy structure and carbon intensity make negative driving effect, and the proportion of energy consumption makes negative driving effect before 2006, and then changes into positive driving effect. Some suggestions of low-carbon economy are listed: to control the population size and improve the quality of economic development, to support the research of new energy technology, to accelerate regional integration and optimize the industrial structure, to enhance environmental protection and spread the concept of low-carbon.
Keywords: Carbon Emission; LMDI; the Region of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei; Low-carbon Economy
