How to control the growth of regional carbon emissions is the focus of the world.It is significant for carbon emissions control and reduction to identify the factors affecting energy carbon footprint and find out the key factor.Based on IPCC carbon emission factors,the energy carbon footprint of Pearl River Delta from 1998 to 2009 was calculated.Based on Kaya equation,the factors of energy carbon footprint in Pearl River Delta were decomposed with LMDI method.It was found that the energy carbon footprint in Pearl River Delta has risen from 112.72 million tons in 1998 to 249.05 million tons in 2009.Economic factor was the most important for the growth of carbon footprint,while economic effect was affected by economic scale,national policy and international financial environment.Population growth acted as a promoting factor for the energy carbon footprint.Energy efficiency was the key factor to inhibit the growth of carbon footprint.The effect of energy structure was insignificant due to its slight changes during the research period.Developing low-carbon industry and improving energy efficiency would be the primary means to reduce carbon footprint in Pearl River Delta,and to control the economy scale and population size would also be required.
