Popis:	The purpose of this study is to determine the life cycle CO2 emissions for the production and distribution of energy carriers in China. The mathematical method of input–output analysis was used to model the complicated materials flows between different energy industries. The results show that, for providing 1 GJ fuels, coking products have the largest CO2 emission, followed by oil products, middling coal, cleaned coal, natural gas and crude oil, and raw coal. The results also show that the theory and mathematical model of input–output analysis are more proper for energy carriers than traditional inventory calculation models. The comparison between China and Japan indicates that the life cycle CO2 emissions of energy carriers produced in China are higher than developed level; therefore there is CO2 mitigation potential for China’s energy industries.
