Provincial CO₂ emission inventory (by Apparent Emission Accounting Method)

Most of the provincial CO₂ emissions were from raw coal, which is primarily burned in the thermal power sector. The analyses of per capita emissions and emission intensity in 2012 indicate that provinces located in the northwest and north had higher per capita CO₂ emissions and emission intensities than the central and southeast coastal regions. Understanding the emissions and emission-socioeconomic characteristics of different provinces are critical for developing mitigation strategies.
