Abstract:In order to provide methodology and basic data for evaluating carbon reduction potentials and comparing carbon emission levels among various cities, this study established a city-scale carbon accounting system based on 6 sectors, which include industrial energy consumption, transport energy consumption, household energy consumption, commercial energy consumption, industrial processes and waste. Wuxi city was then selected as a case to analyze the characteristics of carbon emission of the cities in China. The largest three contributors of carbon emissions in Wuxi were industry energy consumption sector, industry process sector and transport energy consumption sector, which contributed 68%~71%, 13%~19% and 6%~10% to the total carbon emissions, respectively. Carbon emissions in Wuxi increased rapidly from 2004 to 2008, and the per capita and per GDP carbon emissions were both higher than the world average levels.
