Assessing Regional Carbon Dioxide Emission Performance and Reduction Potential through Environmental Production Technology: A Case Study of Major Industrial Provinces in China

Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission performance of main industrial provinces in China and identifying the potential for emission reduction based on environmental production technology. Employing a comprehensive methodology that integrates data analysis, environmental impact assessment, and technological evaluation, the research assesses the current CO2 emission levels and trends in major industrial provinces. Furthermore, it analyzes the adoption and effectiveness of environmental production technologies in mitigating CO2 emissions across different sectors, including manufacturing, energy production, and transportation. Through a case study approach, the research examines the characteristics of regional CO2 emission profiles, identifies key drivers of emissions, and assesses the potential for implementing cleaner production methods, renewable energy integration, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to reduce CO2 emissions. The findings provide insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with transitioning to low-carbon industrial practices in China's key industrial provinces. Moreover, they offer practical recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental regulators to prioritize investment in sustainable technologies, strengthen regulatory frameworks, and promote collaborative initiatives aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable development goals.
