Abstract:

This paper calculated the carbon emissions of Gansu Province and various regions from 2000 to 2020, and selected the proportion of secondary industry, per capita GDP, urbanization rate, energy consumption, energy consumption per 10000 yuan of GDP, scientific and technological input, industrial added value and other influencing factors for principal component analysis. Based on the Probit model, according to the economic development indicators of the 14th Five-Year Plan, three economic assumptions were made for GDP growth in each region, and carbon emissions and peak time from 2020 to 2040 were predicted. The results showed that the carbon emissions in Gansu Province increased continuously from 2000 to 2012, with an annual average growth rate of 7.3%. From 2013 to 2020, the carbon emissions showed a “U” growth rate, with an annual average growth rate of 1.9%. Carbon emissions were positively correlated with per capita GDP, urbanization rate and other factors, and negatively correlated with the proportion of secondary industry and energy consumption per 10000 yuan of GDP. Under the fast economy, only Linxia will achieve carbon peak in 2030 to 2035; under the benchmark economy, Dingxi and other four regions will achieve carbon peak in 2030 to 2035; under the green economy, Lanzhou and other four regions will achieve carbon peak in 2035 to 2040.

Key words: carbon emission in Gansu, principal component analysis, Probit model, time of carbon peak
