CIVIL AVIATION CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS IN CHINA

With the social and economic development, the civil aviation industry of China is experiencing rapid growth. This growth will lead to more CO2 emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse effect are already serious problems especially in China, but also all over the world. Civil aviation has brought environmental pollution in the context of improving social activity and economic growth. Because of civil aviation, the rapid increase of the total amount of air pollutants are also increasing, covering most of the cities in China especially in economically developed areas that have more pollution. Therefore the greenhouse gases generated by the aircrafts are an important reason for global warming in an increasing amount. The collection of data of the 2009 Chinese domestic and international routes is using a more accurate algorithm to calculate the 2009 Chinese civil aviation industry carbon dioxide emissions. As result from more accurate data of CO2 emissions the role of CO2 in the greenhouse effect will be understood better
