Abstract: This paper analyzes the change of aggregated CO2 in China from 1957 to 2000 based on a complete decomposition approach—the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method. The study indicates that China has achieved a considerable decrease in its CO2 emissions mainly due to improved energy intensity. In addition, fuel switching and renewable energy penetration also exhibit positive effect to the CO2 decrease.
