Calculation and analysis of carbon emissions from energy consumption: Case in Jinan City

The carbon dioxide is the major component of greenhouse gas in energy consumption. Because of different energy varieties and consumption patterns carbon emissions are different. Therefore, the estimate of carbon emissions should be calculated one by one according to different energy variety which bases on the clear range of energy consumption counting. In accordance with the carbon emission factors recommended by IPCC, this article uses one-by-one calculation method to sum the carbon emissions in Jinan City since 1990. Then the total carbon emissions, carbon emissions per capita, carbon emission intensity and sub-sectors carbon emissions were compared respectively.
