Using 1990-2014 data of CO2 emissions and real GDP of five industry sectors in Taiwan (Agricultural, Forestry, Fishery and Husbandry sector), Industry sector, Electricity and gas sector, Transportation and warehousing sector, Service sector. To In this research, the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis correlation analyzes for the CO2 emissions and GDP in five industrial sectors in Taiwan to make empirical inference. Two econometric methods are used to analyze. One is Panel data method by assuming industry sectors are fixed to test. And the other is to set sector dummy variable. Fix Effect test results: 1. CO2 emissions of industry sectors are affected by energy consumption and domestic real savings. 2. The correlation between total CO2 emissions in the five sectors and real GDP in Taiwan are not significant. 3. The affect of international energy prices to sector total CO2 emissions is not significant. Dummy Variable results: 1. According to estimated result of intercept and intercept dummy variables, the intercept for the total emissions of service sector is lower than other sectors. 2. Considering in Dummy Variable analysis, real GDP and CO2 emissions have inverted U-shaped EKC relationship. 3. The total amount of energy consumption in each sectors significantly affects total CO2¬ emissions in the five sectors. 4. The domestic real savings have significantly affected CO2 emissions.
