Abstract:

In view that petrochemical industry is a typical industry of high carbon emissions, studying the variation law and influencing factors of its carbon emissions can facilitate the implement of China's "dual carbon" strategy. Based on the data from the nine carbon emission sources which include raw coal, clean coal, coke, gasoline, diesel and crude oil in five sub industries of petrochemical industry in Jilin Province from 2002 to 2021, the temporal evolution characteristics and composition of the carbon emissions are studied. Six indicators affecting the carbon emissions from petrochemical industry in Jilin Province, including economic value added, are selected, and their impacts and mechanisms are deeply studied based on the expanded STIRPAT model and ridge regression parameter estimation. According to empirical analysis results, three suggestions are proposed to promote the low-carbon development and carbon reduction of petrochemical industry in Jilin Province: improving energy efficiency and energy consumption structure; selecting valuable investment projects and low-carbon projects; adopting circular economy and conducting environmental impact assessments.

Key words: "dual carbon" strategy, petrochemical industry, energy mix, carbon emissions, STIRPAT model, energy efficiency, composition of energy consumption, cyclic economy
