Abstract
Climate change, which was caused by economic development, has become attract the national concerns. In this context, low carbon economy development model came into being, and it’s becoming the main trend. This paper is based on the energy consumption statistics, the sample of raw data is between 1990 and 2009, analyze the characteristics of carbon dioxide emissions from the point of view of energy consumption, and the influencing factors, and tries to use the knowledge of statistics and econometrics to determine the measurement model for carbon emissions through the establishment of mathematical model and statistical tests. Finally, in the existing technology level, predicts carbon emissions in the next five years, and gives several proposals to promote low carbon economic development, such as impose carbon tax, readjust the industrial structure, and control energy consumption and so on.
