Energy-induced carbon emissions make up more than 70% of China’s total emissions. In this study, categorized by energy source and industry type in Beijing from 2013 to 2020 were analyzed. The Tapio model was used reveal the decoupling effect between economic development levels emissions, log-mean score Difference index (LMDI) decomposition method identify impact factors. From 2020, Beijing’s energy-related decreased 21.1%, while GDP increased 70.8%, achieved absolute level especially after implementing strict environmental protection policies expediting transition consumption structure. Although growth had a driving on gradually weakened, emission reduction mainly through intensity (−302.1%) factor (104.1%). This study reveals emphasizes key role policy, technology, structural adjustment achieving sustainable development, provides valuable experience reference for other cities regions formulate low-carbon strategies.
