Estimating of Ganzhou industrial carbon emission and planning of low-carbon development paths

The CO₂ emission generated by industrial energy consumption in Ganzhou, which is in the industrialization and urbanization processes, has become a major source of urban carbon dioxide emission. Applying the inventory method of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2006) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas, this paper estimates the CO₂ emission discharged by large industrial enterprises (annual business income is above 20 Million CNY) in Ganzhou city. The results show that energy conservation and emission reduction of Ganzhou lags behind some economically developed cities. Some low-carbon paths of Ganzhou's industrial development are proposed: building low-carbon industrial parks; transforming and upgrading traditional industries, planning low carbon industry policies and optimization of low carbon development environment.
