Abstract: In order to investigate what exactly leads to the increase of the SO2 removal volume and find out the drawbacks in SO2 emission reduction during the period of the 11th Five-Year, the major driving factors of SO2 removal in electric power industry are analyzed by using the LMDI method in which the factors are decomposed into terminal treatment effect, structure effect, technological progressing effect, policy effect and investment effect. The research results illustrate that during the period of 2005-2011, the terminal treatment effect contributes the most to the increase of SO2 removal volume, and the structure effect contributes the second most. In addition, the regression equations of the SO2 removal volume and its driving factors are set up by adopting partial least squares to provide a reference not only for the governments to make their policies but also for the enterprises to implement energy-saving and emission reduction.

Key words: electric power industry, pollutant emission, LMDI, partial least squares, SO2
