We decompose the decoupling of energy related CO2 emissions from economic growth in China into energy structure, energy intensity, economic structure, and economic output effects using the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) method, and explore key factors influencing decoupling status in different periods. We find that decoupling varies due to changes in economic growth and energy intensity. The economic output significantly enhances the decoupling, whereas the energy intensity greatly decreases it. The energy and economic structures have little impacts on decoupling. The Industrial sectors determine the decoupling status. Policy implications related to the economic growth, economic structure, and energy consumption are discussed.
