Abstract
- This paper has attempted to do a statistical analysis of the inventory of greenhouse gas emissions from Jiangsu province in 1990, based on the methods provided in IPCC Guidelines (1995), hereby to investigate and evaluate the present situation of emissions of GHGs such as CO2, CH4 from the energy sector, industries, and agriculture. The study has found the annual per capita GHG emissions as follows: CO2, 1.97 ton/person; CH4, 22.65 kg person-1; N2O, 0.11 kg person-1. The emission levels are close to the national average, and half of the world average. Energy consumption activities, among other activities, is the main source of CO2 emission in Jiangsu province, which accounts for 91.6% of the total emission. The emission of CH4 can be traced mainly to the cultivation of rice, which accounts for 44.1% of the emission.
