Abstract The paper calculates the amount of CO2 emission embodied in China's export from 1997 to 2007 by means of inputoutput analysis and decomposes the factors that affect the carbon emission i.e. scale effect，structure effect and technology effect. The scale effect is overwhelming, because china’s export volume is huge but the exporting industries are engaged in global manufacturing division. The structure effect is not noticeable，which is due to the fact that China’s adjustment of export composition is horizontal change of industries，jumping from one manufacturing division of an industry to another one，instead of vertical extending along the value chain，so the features of low adding of value and high consumption in energy remain. The technology effect is neither very obvious nor stable，since China’s improvement of technology is embodied in capital and the approach has both positive and negative effects on energy consumption. Based on above analyses，the paper puts forward the corresponding strategies.
