%X Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) mitigation has become an essential task since the 1997"Kyoto Protocol". Therefore, the primary key factors that affect CO 2 emission must be identified to design efficient CO 2 mitigation measures for the future. This study seeks to understand the changes in the factors that influence Guangdong’s CO 2 emissions from energy consumption by decomposing overall emissions into a number of key determinants over a period of almost 10 years. In particular, based on input-output tables on comparable price and energy consumption data for each sector, this paper has made use of input-output structural decomposition analysis(SDA) to identify the key factors that affect the changes of CO 2 emissions from Guangdong’s energy consumption during 1997-2007. SDA makes it possible to investigate inter-relationships as well as intra-relationships among sectors of the economy and levels of consumption. An important facet of this method is the micro-level breakdown of economic structure and energy use. Finally, 40 sectors were got by the subdivision. They are most responsible for CO 2 emissions’growth, so we can focus on them to seek ways to reduce the emissions. In this study, changes in CO 2 emission were decomposed from six factors: CO 2 Emission Coefficient, Energy Consumption Intensity, Energy Consumption Structure, Intermediate Input Structure, Final Demand Structure and Total Final Demand. The empirical results indicate that: 1) the total carbon emissions from energy consumption in Guangdong increased by 204.50Mt-CO 2 from 1997 to 2007. During this period, Total Final Demand made the emissions increase by 182.8% while Energy Consumption Intensity made the emissions decline by 41.9% . Besides, the decrease rate of CO 2 emissions by CO 2 Emission Coefficient, Energy Consumption Structure, Intermediate Input Structure and Final Demand Structure are 11.6%, 1.5%, 11.3% and 16.6% respectively; 2) the growth of each sector’s implied carbon emissions was mainly caused by the effect of Total Final Demand during 1997-2007, but under the joint influence of other factors, almost 20 sectors got a tiny increment in implied emissions because of their products requirement.
