Abstract
This article estimates CO2 emissions intensity embodied in 42 sectors’ products based on the Input–Output Table in 2007 from the whole life of product process, including 4 energy sectors and 38 non-energy sectors. And then we distinguish energy and non-energy products to estimate CO2 emissions embodied in 42 sectors’ products’ exports in 2007. The result shows that China is a net exporter of CO2, CO2 emissions embodied in the export trade increase with the increase of exports except for the 4 energy sectors. 54.5 % of the total emissions are caused by exports, which shows the typical characteristic of “consumption in foreign countries and pollution in domestic”.
