Abstract: Use of IPCC carbon emission index calculating CO2 emissions of China's provincial fossil fuel consumption in 2007.and the Carbon Lorenz curve sorted by per capita emission and emission intensity is established, which reflect the carbon emissions inequality of china. Carbon Lorenz curve show that the impact of carbon emissions inequality in china lead by per capita emission and emission intensity change is vague. However, changes in emission rate do not affect the two carbon emissions inequality respectively. Analysis of different policy options of energy conservation with the transform of Carbon Lorenz curve, the results show that different saving energy and reducing consumption policies tendency made by the government will make developed areas and underdeveloped areas bear different reductions. The emission reduction policies on energy efficiency will given developed regions more energy consumption and CO2 emissions, whereas the emission reduction policies on energy equity will given developed regions less energy consumption and CO2 emissions Similar as other economic problems, Emissions allocation difficulties is the trade-off between efficiency and fairness. Therefore, this article proposed established China's provincial-level carbon trading market to solve the problem of China's carbon allocation.
