中国农业食物系统能源碳排放趋势分析

Carbon emissions of agrifood systems from energy consumption in China

  • 摘要: 尽管农业直接消耗能源带来的碳排放量有限, 但农业的生产和消费方式发生很大变化, 农业产业链不断延长, 整个农业食物系统的能源消耗及其产生的碳排放不断增加, 不容忽视。为了科学核算农业食物系统的能源消耗带来的碳排放量, 本文基于1997—2018年投入产出表和分行业能源消耗量数据, 利用投入产出法核算了农业食物系统转型过程中能源活动的碳排放量的变化趋势和构成。该方法的优点是不仅核算了农业食物系统直接消耗能源所产生的碳排放, 而且估算了整个产业链由于使用中间投入品而带来的间接能源消耗产生的排放量, 使得核算更加全面。研究发现: 2018年, 农业食物系统的直接和间接消耗能源产生的碳排放高达6.7亿t, 远高于农业直接能源消耗产生的碳排放量(1.0亿t)。1997—2018年, 农业食物系统的能源消耗带来的碳排放量呈增长趋势, 与1997年的5.3亿t相比, 2018年增长26.4%, 但其年均增长速率(1.1%)低于非农业食物系统6.3%, 因此, 农业食物系统能源活动碳排放量占中国能源活动碳排放总量的比重显著下降, 从16.3%下降到6.4%。食品加工业是农业食物系统能源活动中最主要排放来源, 2018年占农业食物系统能源活动碳排放量的62.7%。由于能源利用效率的提高, 农业能源活动的碳排放量虽呈下降趋势, 但仍是农业食物系统能源活动中第二大排放来源; 与农业相关的批发零售、运输仓储和餐饮等行业碳排放量及比重不断增加。因此, 应从产业链各环节减排、加快食品加工业低碳低耗发展、促进农业绿色发展、优化能源结构等方面助力实现减排。

     

    Abstract: Energy consumption and carbon emissions from all sectors have increased over the past four decades. Climate change caused by carbon emissions from energy activities poses a serious risk to humans. Although carbon emissions from the direct energy consumption of agriculture are limited, agricultural production modes and consumption patterns are undergoing significant changes. The extension of the supply chain has resulted in an increase in energy consumption and carbon emissions. To estimate the carbon emissions from agrifood systems, this study used the input-output tables from 1997 to 2018 and the data of energy consumption by sector in China to estimate the carbon emissions and analyze its trends, components, and characteristics based on the input-output model. The most prominent advantage of this model is that it not only captures the carbon emissions from direct energy use, but also includes the carbon emissions from indirect energy use due to the production of intermediate inputs. This study had several findings. First, with China’s economic development, total energy consumption increased 2.2 times from 1.5 billion tons in 2000 to 4.7 billion tons of standard coal in 2018. The energy consumption of the agriculture and food processing industry has increased from 42.3 million tons and 39.2 million tons of standard coal in 2000 to 87.8 million tons and 75.1 million tons of standard coal in 2018, respectively. Second, carbon emissions from energy use in agrifood systems and non-agrifood systems have increased from 530.0 million tons and 2.7 billion tons in 1997 to 670.0 million and 9.7 billion tons in 2018, respectively. However, the growth rate of agrifood systems (1.1%) was much lower than that of non-agrifood systems (6.3%); therefore, the share of agrifood systems in the total carbon emissions from energy use declined from 16.3% in 1997 to 6.4% in 2018. Third, the food processing industry’s carbon emissions have increased significantly and have become the most important carbon emission source in agrifood systems, with 420.0 million tons accounting for 62.7% of the carbon emissions from energy activities in the agrifood systems in 2018. Carbon emissions from agriculture-related transportation and storage, wholesale and retail, and catering have continued to rise. In 2018, the total carbon emissions were 73.58 million tons, contributing to 11.1% of the carbon emissions of the energy activities in the agrifood systems. The carbon emissions from agricultural energy use showed a downward trend owing to the improvement in energy efficiency; however, this was still the second largest carbon emission source. The carbon emissions in 2018 were 170 million tons, accounting for 26.2% of the carbon emissions from energy activities in agrifood systems. Based on these results, policy suggestions are provided, such as reducing emissions from the supply chain, accelerating the development of low carbon emissions and low energy consumption in the food processing industry, promoting agricultural green development, and optimizing the energy structure to help to reduce carbon emissions.
