Calculation and Forecasting of Carbon Emissions from the Construction Industry in Hebei Province
Publication: ICCREM 2022
ABSTRACT
The construction industry is the key sector to reduce emissions because of its contributing about 30%–40% of the global total GHG emissions all over the world, and also cause a great amount of GHG emissions from related industries. China will peak its carbon emissions before 2030. The GHG emissions of Hebei Province have been in the front rank although the region of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has developed coordinately and greenly since 2015. Based on the economic data from 2005 to 2020, the carbon emissions of the construction industry are calculated and analyzed by the input-output method and predicted for Hebei Province from 2021 to 2035 with three scenarios. The results show that it is difficult to realize the goal of carbon-reduction in 2025, and it will be a great challenge to achieve carbon peak for Hebei Province before 2030 with the existing development paradigm and industrial structure.
