The relationship between primary energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions is analyzed and the results show that there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between primary energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. When primary energy consumption fluctuates for 1 % , the carbon dioxide emissions will vary for 0.965 % . Causality analysis results indicate the unidirectional causality relationship running from total primary energy consumption to carbon dioxide emissions exists which implies that more energy consumption will lead to the increase of the carbon dioxide emissions. Energy consumption in China is an important factor for carbon dioxide emissions. In China the increase of carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption are almost of the same pace. The right way to solve carbon dioxide emissions in China is to improve the energy utility efficiency, energy utility technology and energy structure namely to find a new style, low-carbon energy to replace those high-carbon energy.
