摘要

As global pressure to combat climate change intensifies, carbon reduction has emerged as a common priority. This study incorporates the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method into the Tapio model to enhance the conventional analysis of carbon emissions (CE). Using industrial sector data from Quanzhou, China (2005–2022), it identifies the key driving factors of CE and evaluates their influence on decoupling trends. The LMDI method identified the most significant drivers, which were then used to forecast future emissions. Results indicate that the industrial development (ID) effect is the primary driver of rising CE. During the study period, the industrial sector transitioned from expansion connection to weak decoupling, with energy structure (ES) and energy intensity (EI) effects significantly influencing this shift. The low carbon development scenario (LCDS) represents the most effective pathway for Quanzhou’s industrial sector to achieve sustainability while maintaining economic growth and peaks at 97,191 × 104 t in 2030. These findings offer crucial insights for policymakers in Quanzhou, enabling them to develop targeted strategies that harmonize economic growth with energy conservation and carbon reduction. Additionally, they provide valuable insights for promoting low-carbon industrial growth in other urban areas.
