Abstract:

The anthropogenic carbon emissions aggravated the climate change,and lowcarbon economy become the consensus of human.Therefore seeking lowcarbon development model of lowpower,lowpolluting and low emissions has become the path for sustainable development around the world.This paper took six provinces of central China as a study area,measured lowcarbon level of six provinces through the coefficients of carbon emissions,per capita carbon emissions,per unit of land carbon emissions,carbon productivity,carbon emission coefficient of energy and contrasted their spatial differentiation.We got the conclusions that central China is still in the highcarbon development stage.There are a large carbon emissions,low carbon productivity and high carbon emission coefficient of energy,especially in Shanxi and Henan.On this basis, by adopting industrialenergy interconnection model and energycarbon emissions interconnection model to analyze the low carbon development potential of the central China,we realized that diversity level of industrial structure and energy structure is low,and evolution rate is also low,which makes growth rate of carbon emissions can't slow down.Howerver,despite great difficulty in carbon emission reduction,there also exist large potentials.〖
