ABSTRACT

To improve the authenticity and reliability of emissions accounting for embodied carbon and promote the sustainable development of the PI in the future, this article has taken Shanghai as the object and combined input-output models to conduct in-depth research on its embodied carbon emissions in the PI. This article first analyzed the current development status of the PI in Shanghai, and explored it from the perspectives of energy supply and carbon emissions. Then an embodied carbon emission accounting model was constructed based on the non-competitive input-output table. Finally, through factor analysis, the changes in the emissions of embodied carbon were analyzed. This article conducted experiments from two perspectives: emission accounting and scenario prediction, so that the effectiveness of the input-output model in the emission analysis of embodied carbon in the PI in Shanghai can be verified. The results show that from the proportion of hidden carbon emissions in the power industry to the total hidden carbon emissions in the social industry, the highest proportion of hidden carbon emissions in the power industry can reach 43.69%. The conclusion indicated that the input-output model could achieve objective and accurate accounting of embodied carbon emissions in the PI, which could help to promote green development of the PI.
