International Journal of Global Warming (IJGW), Vol. 4, No. 2, 2012

Abstract: Based on the input-output tables of Liaoning Province of China for 2007, this paper calculates direct and indirect CO₂ emissions from the service sector. Total CO₂ emissions of the service sector are decomposed into several effects, of which the spill-over and feedback effects are further decomposed into two parts: Energy Spill-over Effect (ESE) and Remnant Spill-over Effect (RSE); energy feedback effect and remnant feedback effect. The research shows indirect CO₂ emissions derived from final demand of the service sector are far more than direct CO₂ emissions, the main cause of which is the spill-over effect due to the strong pull effect of the service sector on other sectors. A further decomposition into the ESE reveals that the electricity and heating sector accounts for the largest percentage, with the coal-mining and washing sector second.
