4.1. Characteristics of CO2 Emissions from Shenzhen’s Manufacturing
- (1)
- Overview of total CO2 emissions from manufacturing. Figure 1 illustrates the total CO2 emissions from Shenzhen’s manufacturing from 2008 to 2020. CO2 emissions from Shenzhen’s manufacturing in 2020 are only 58% of those in 2008. This change is equivalent to an average annual reduction rate of 4.42%. However, there is a significant difference between the emission rate from 2008 to 2012 and that from 2012 to 2020. The rapid decline of CO2 emissions during 2008–2012 is because, since the global financial crisis in 2008, Shenzhen has been actively pushing for industrial transition and upgrading, especially the manufacturing. Another reason is Shenzhen’s early attention to the air pollution problem of megacities in China [30] and the rapid electrification of its manufacturing. Since CO2 emission control and air pollution control are highly rooted in the same origin in China, the reduction of CO2 emissions is widely regarded as one of the synergies of air pollution control [22,30]. As a consequence, low-end industries with high fossil energy consumption and pollution are being quickly phased out. Since 2012, Shenzhen has been continuously introducing policies to support strategic emerging industries, forming several major industries such as the internet, cultural creative, new energy, and new materials. CO2 emissions have since reached 15.40 million tons in 2020 with a small, negligible increase each year. The reason for the subtle increase during 2012–2020 is mainly due to the rapid development of high-tech manufacturing industries such as electronic information and precision manufacturing.

- CO2 emissions under the energy structure. Figure 2 shows the energy structure of CO2 emissions from Shenzhen’s manufacturing during the period 2008–2020. Electricity is obviously the primary source of emissions in Shenzhen’s manufacturing, showing a completely opposite development trend to oil and gasoline. Specifically, the embodied CO2 emissions of electricity accounted for nearly 60% of total emissions in 2008 and increased to 95% in 2020. After 2011, its proportion exceeded 90% of total manufacturing CO2 emissions. The sum of the CO2 emissions proportion of diesel and fuel oil was 37.6%, 34.8%, and 24.0% in 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively. After 2011, the CO2 emission proportion of the two energies fell to a range of between 2% and 4%. The proportion of electricity in Shenzhen’s manufacturing stays at a relatively high level. Electrification reduces direct CO2 emissions and air pollutants and improves the living environment. The improvement in air quality will have significant impacts on health benefits [40]. This may be one of the reasons why Shenzhen has attracted a large number of high-tech talents, and the inflow of talents has helped its rapid development in high-tech industries.
4.2. Heterogeneity of CO2 Emissions from Shenzhen’s Manufacturing
- (1)
- Industry heterogeneity. Figure 3 shows the industry heterogeneity of CO2 emissions from manufacturing in Shenzhen during 2008–2020. According to industry characteristics, 27 sub-sectors are divided into four categories, revealing the sector structure of CO2 emissions from Shenzhen’s manufacturing. Specifically, electronic equipment manufacturing is the primary sector responsible for energy emissions, accounting for nearly 34.93% of total manufacturing emissions in 2008 and increasing to 47.43% in 2020. Before 2012, the proportion of its emissions was slightly reduced to about 30% but has gradually increased since. The emission proportion of light industry to the total proportion of manufacturing has dropped from 16.86% in 2008 to 8.26% in 2020. During the period under study, the emission share of equipment manufacturing and others in manufacturing decreased from 32.1% to 27.73%. The emission proportion of the raw material processing industry increased slightly and then decreased slightly, and the proportion in 2020 (16.57%) and 2008 (16.11%) is basically the same.
- (2)
- Electricity heterogeneity. Table 5 shows the proportion of CO2 emissions embodied in electricity to the total CO2 emissions in individual subsectors during 2008–2020. After 2011, their values increased significantly. This is the same conclusion obtained in Figure 2. In 2020, the proportion of CO2 emissions embodied in electricity from the smelting and pressing of ferrous metals (Sector ID_18), processing of petroleum, coking, and nuclear fuel (Sector ID_12), and manufacturing of wine, beverages, and refined tea (Sector ID_3) is around 65%. The proportion of CO2 emissions contained in electricity in other individual industries is above 70%. There are more than 50% of subsectors whose electricity-triggered CO2 emissions occupied over 90% of their total emissions. Among these, three subsectors (sector ID_27, ID_24, and ID_16) reach as high as 95%. Therefore, in Shenzhen, a city in the post-industrial era, indirect CO2 emissions triggered by electricity usage are the most important emission source in its manufacturing industries.
4.3. Decomposition Analysis of CO2 Emissions in Shenzhen’s Manufacturing
- (1)
- Decomposition of different driving factors. The decomposition of CO2 emissions changes and the contributions of various driving factors from 2008 to 2020 are shown in Table 6. The contributions of various driving forces refer to the proportion of CO2 emissions changes caused by each factor. Each factor presents a different effect in the previous year. During the period 2008–2020, the overall CO2 emission in Shenzhen’s manufacturing decreased by 41.87%. CO2 emission intensity decreased by 107.04%, followed by manufacturing structure (−11.24%) and energy emission structure (−0.71%). Manufacturing economic activity emissions increased by 77.13% and is the only positive driver. The period from 2008 to 2012 was the most important structural adjustment stage for Shenzhen’s manufacturing CO2 emission changes. It can be seen that the reduction of manufacturing emission intensity is the most important factor for the decrease [18,19,24]. All along, Shenzhen has taken the strategy of a high-quality economy as a long-term strategy for urban development, strived to become an important role in global innovation and development, and treated innovation as its primary driving force for sustainable urban growth. Shenzhen vigorously lays out seven “strategic emerging industries” (next-generation information technology industry, high-end equipment manufacturing industry, green low-carbon industry, biomedical industry, digital Economy Industry, new materials industry, and marine economy industry) and four “pillar industries” (cultural and creative industries, high-tech industry, modern logistics, and financial industry), promotes the transformation of the economy into high-tech industries, strives to improve the quality of economic development, and continuously enhances the added value of the industry. The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is the top priority of Shenzhen’s industrial development strategy. In 2020, the added value of Shenzhen’s high-tech manufacturing and advanced manufacturing accounted for 66.1% and 72.5% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, respectively [43]. The development of high-tech, high-value-added, low-carbon industries is an important reason for the decline in manufacturing emissions [26]. Therefore, it can be seen that there are two significantly different stages in the change of manufacturing CO2 emissions in Shenzhen, and the driving factors are also different in those two stages.
- (2)
- Decomposition at different stages. Since there is a clear trend difference between the two stages of 2008–2012 and 2012–2020 in Shenzhen’s manufacturing CO2 emissions, it is necessary to examine the impact of different factors on these two periods. From Figure 4, each factor presents a different effect in different stages. Overall, the manufacturing activity effect () remains positive during these two periods, which is the primary driving force of the changes in emission. However, the carbon emission intensity effect () is the key factor that offsets the increase of manufacturing emissions at the two stages. In addition, the energy structure effect () also contributes a small decrease in emissions during 2008–2012 but changes to nearly none during 2012–2020. Relative to the carbon intensity effect, the energy structure effect is insignificant. The manufacturing structure effect () is negative in both stages. From 2008 to 2012, the key factor for the decrease in CO2 emissions was carbon intensity, which decreases 21.92 million tons of emissions accumulatively in Shenzhen’s manufacturing sectors. After the financial crisis in 2008, external demand slowed down and costs increased. Shenzhen firmly grasped the mechanism of the international financial crisis and took the initiative of industrial upgrading. With the help of the market, Shenzhen phased out of backward production capacity and released part of the industrial land to make room for the development of newly emerging industries. At the same time, it actively deployed strategic emerging industries and improved the industrial level, covering a wide range of high-tech fields such as electronic information, aviation, and microchips. From 2012 to 2020, the key driving factor of CO2 emissions changes to manufacturing activity, which caused 8.95 million tons of emissions in Shenzhen’s manufacturing sectors. In fact, CO2 emissions are closely linked to the growth of GDP [24]. In general, countries with larger economic output have larger CO2 emissions, and vice versa [44]. In addition to the impact of total economic activity, CO2 emissions are also closely related to the industrial structure and emission intensity. The emission intensity reduction effect offset 6.43 million tons of CO2 emissions, and industrial structure changes offset 0.94 million tons of emissions. However, the incremental effect of manufacturing activities exceeds the deductive effects of other factors. In recent years, Shenzhen has accelerated industrial transition and upgrading processes, and used market instruments, such as CO2 emissions allowance trading, to promote the reduction of emissions among its manufacturing companies. The annual emission compliance rate of Shenzhen’s CO2 emission control units has been relatively high. From 2013 to 2020, the compliance rates of enterprises included in the CO2 emissions allowance trading market were over 99.0% each year. Therefore, as a post-industrial and innovative megacity, Shenzhen first experienced a stage in which low-end and backward industries were eliminated due to the rapid transition and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, manifesting as a rapid reduction in CO2 emissions (2008–2012). Then, with the rapid development and growth of various strategic emerging industries and innovative technology industries with low carbon intensity, the second stage of a slow increase in carbon emissions was formed (2012–2020). The optimization of industrial structure can reduce local CO2 emissions or pollution [26] but can cause the transferal of emissions and pollution to other places [21,22]. One of the most important ways for a megacity to transfer direct CO2 emissions is to import large amounts of electricity [26,45]. The essence of this is the relocation of the fossil energy generation industry.
4.4. Changes of CO2 Emissions Intensity and Manufacturing Structure
- (1)
- Evolution of carbon intensity. Figure 5 shows the trends of CO2 emissions intensity of Shenzhen’s manufacturing by four categories during 2008–2020. We can see that all four of the categories’ CO2 emission intensities declined by more than 2/3 during these years. CO2 intensity represents the total amount of CO2 emissions per unit of GDP, and its reciprocal is CO2 productivity, which reflects the efficiency of CO2 emissions. As early as 2010, Shenzhen was listed as one of the first low-carbon pilot areas. In 2012, Shenzhen planned the CO2 emission allowance trading market. In 2013, Shenzhen’s emission allowance trading system was officially launched. The first batch of 621 manufacturing enterprises was included. These manufacturing enterprises are decreasing their emissions while increasing industrial value added. Therefore, the sharp decline in the CO2 intensity of the Shenzhen manufacturing industry is likely to indicate that the emission efficiency of the sub-sectors has been significantly improved. Efficiency improvement is an important way for cities to slow the increase in their CO2 emissions [21]. The manufacturing technological level is improved, and the potential for emission reduction is fully released. In addition to the changing trends of CO2 emission intensity, Figure 5 also shows the difference in CO2 intensity between different industries. Electronic equipment manufacturing with the highest CO2 emissions has the lowest CO2 intensity among these four categories of manufacturing. Manufacturing industries that process raw materials have the highest carbon intensity. While light industry and equipment manufacturing and others are in the middle level. The deep transition of the manufacturing industry is also one of the bases for the peak of total CO2 emissions [26]. Therefore, the industries with the lowest CO2 emission intensity are already the most important sectors in Shenzhen’s manufacturing, which means that the potential for emission reduction by lowering its CO2 intensity is exhausted unless Shenzhen increases the share of electricity generated from renewable sources and the efficiency with which it is used.
- (2)
- Trend in manufacturing value added. Optimizing industrial structure is an important way to promote direct CO2 emission reduction and pollution control [22,28]. Figure 6 shows the proportion trend of the added value of Shenzhen’s manufacturing sector by four categories during 2008–2020. The proportion of the added value of electronic equipment manufacturing in the total added value of the manufacturing increased from 55.71% in 2008 to about 63.72% in 2020. According to the National Economic Industry Classification Standard published by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2017 [46], manufacturing of communication equipment, computers, and other electronic equipment (manufacturing sector ID_27) includes computer manufacturing, communication equipment manufacturing, radio and television equipment manufacturing, radar and ancillary equipment manufacturing, non-professional audiovisual equipment manufacturing, manufacturing of smart consumer devices, manufacturing of electronic devices, manufacturing of electronic components and electronic materials, and manufacturing of other electronic devices. This industry has relatively high technological intensiveness and industrial added value with low carbon intensity, and plays an irreplaceable and fundamental role in improving both the industrial economy and the quality of life of ordinary citizens. The second largest added value share is equipment manufacturing and others. Its proportion of added value in the total added value of manufacturing is around 20%, which is a slight increase of about 1% in 2020 compared to its value in 2008. The value added share of light manufacturing decreased from 11% in 2008 to 6.22% in 2020. The proportion of the raw material processing industry decreased from 12.47% in 2008 to 8.45% in 2020. The process of optimizing the industrial structure of a city with a strict environmental policy can lead to the transfer of pollution and heavy industry to other cities. Collaborative control of CO2 emissions and pollution with neighboring regions is also important [21,22,30]. The impact of Shenzhen’s industrial relocation on CO2 emissions on other surrounding cities needs to be deeply analyzed to reduce carbon leakage in the future.
