Study of the carbon footprint trade balance in Iran's economic sectors whit in the social accounting matrix(SAM) approach

In recent decades, releasing more carbon emissions resulting from energy consumption, more damaging effects on the environment is set up.Some of the Industries and manufacturing sectors share some sectors more than others, and from one country to another countries may vary. Some countries have started the carbon war by transfer of polluting industries to other countries. However, each country according to its biological status has a capacity to absorb pollutants. If carbon footprint is higher than the absorb capacity potential harmful effects on the environment is entered. In this paper, economic sectors carbon footprint trade balance by using Social Accounting Matrix 1390 is studied. Results indicate that in 1390, the negative trade balance of the country's carbon footprint is 4.5 tonnes. That is only 8-thousandth of the total economic sectors's carbon footprint. Sector of oil, natural gas distribution, manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, transport have a highest positive carbon footprint trade balance and food products, manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, manufacture of basic metals have the most negative The carbon trade balance.
