Does Forest Industries in China Become Cleaner? A Prospective of Embodied Carbon Emission

Forests and the forest products industry contribute to climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon from atmosphere storing it in biomass, fabricating that substitute other, more greenhouse-gas-emission-intensive materials energy. This study investigates primary wood-working industries (panel, furniture, pulp paper) order determine development of emissions China during last two decades. The input–output approach is used factors driving changes CO2 are analyzed Index Decomposition Analysis–Log Mean Divisia (LMDI). results show product have been declining twenty years factor this energy intensity production economic input, which changed dramatically.
