This paper presents a decomposition analysis of energy-related CO2emission in China for the period 1991–2006 divided into three equal time intervals. The complete decomposition method developed by Sun is used to analyze the nature of the four factors: CO2intensity, energy intensity, structural changes and economic activity. The results show that economic activity has the largest positive effect in CO2emission changes in all the major economic sectors and China has achieved a considerable decrease in CO2emission mainly due to the improved energy intensity. However, the impact of CO2intensity and structural changes is relatively small. Structural changes only exhibit positive effect to the CO2mitigation in agricultural sector, and CO2intensity also contributes to the decrease of CO2emission in transportation sector. Moreover, a formula about CO2mitigation is presented in this paper, which shows that China has made a significant contribution to reducing global CO2emission.
