Abstract

Abstract : With the world's consensus on low-carbon emission reduction, all walks of life have formulated low-carbon development goals. As a high-energy consumption industry, it is urgent for mining industry to implement the development strategy of low-carbon emission reduction. Therefore, this study tries to provide reasonable suggestions and references for the low-carbon development of the mining industry. Firstly, this study analyzes the industry development, energy consumption, and carbon emission of mining industry from 2000 to 2020. Then, using the Tapio theory, this study constructs the analysis model of decoupling between carbon emission of mining industry and industry growth. The analysis method of decoupling state assignment is proposed for the first time in the model. At the same time, the energy efficiency decoupling index and energy structure decoupling index are introduced to explain the causes of carbon emission decoupling. The research shows that the carbon emission of energy consumption in China's mining industry peaked in 2013, and the energy efficiency decoupling in 2001–2014 is the main driver of carbon emission decoupling. The sharp growth of industrial output value leads to the decoupling of energy efficiency. At present, the improvement of energy efficiency of China's mining industry faces great resistance. At the same time, the inhibition effect of energy efficiency on carbon emissions is limited, and the energy structure will be the main factor to inhibit carbon emissions.
