Abstract: Abstract As the largest emitter of CO2 dioxide, the manufacturing industry shoulders the important responsibility of emissions reduction in China. Thus, it is important to explore the main driving force of emissions and propose appropriate emissions reduction measures. This paper implies temporal logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method to analyze the driving forces of the CO2 emissions change of manufacturing industry in 30 provinces and cities of China from perspectives of the industry and 28 subsectors from 2000 to 2017. The main conclusions reveal that industrial activity and energy intensity are the main factors that lead to the increase and mitigation of CO2 emissions respectively. In the short term, economic development has a strong effect on carbon emissions, but in the long term, technology will become the main driving force of CO2 emissions reduction.
