	abstract = {In this study we use Divisia index approach to identify key factors affecting CO<sub>2</sub> emission changes of industrial sectors in Taiwan. The changes of CO<sub>2</sub> emission are decomposed into emission coefficient, energy intensity, industrial structure and economic growth. Furthermore, comparisons with USA, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and South Korea are made to have a better understanding of emission tendency in these countries and to help formulate our CO<sub>2</sub> reduction strategies for responding to the international calls for CO<sub>2</sub> cuts. The results show that economic growth and high energy intensity were two key factors for the rapid increase of industrial CO<sub>2</sub> emission in Taiwan, while adjustment of industrial structure was the main component for the decrease. Although economic development is important, Taiwan must keep pace with the international trends for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction. Among the most important strategies are continuous efforts to improve energy intensity, fuel mix toward lower carbon, setting targets for industrial CO<sub>2</sub> cuts, and advancing green technology through technology transfer. Also, the clean development mechanism (CDM) is expected to play an important role in the future.},
