In this study, CO2 emission sources are categorized into industrial sector, business and household, transportation, waste treatment, and energy supply sector, and their emission of CO2 are estimated respectively. Based on the calculation, carbon dioxide emission pattern in Japan is viewed.
This study indicates that regions with large amount of CO2 emission are located in the Tokyo-Osaka-Fukuoka corridor. Especially carbon dioxide emission is large in prefectures which are in suburban of metropolitan areas and the Seto Inland Sea Region. This fact is due to intensified activities of heavy industries such as theiron and steel industry, chemical industry, and machinery industry which are located in these areas. Industrial structure have an influence on CO2 emission pattern in prefectural zones. It is clear that the classification with primary, secondary, and tertiary industries is incomplete for estimation and that each secondary industries have different emission per yield.
