  Carbon emissions have become a specific alarming indicators and intricate
challenges that lead an extended argue about climate change. The growing trend
in the utilization of fossil fuels for the economic progress and simultaneously
reducing the carbon quantity has turn into a substantial and global challenge.
The aim of this paper is to examine the driving factors of CO$_2$ emissions
from energy sector in Romania during the period 2008-2022 emissions using the
log mean Divisia index (LMDI) method and takes into account five items: CO$_2$
emissions, primary energy resources, energy consumption, gross domestic product
and population, the driving forces of CO$_2$ emissions, based on which it was
calculated the contribution of carbon intensity, energy mixes, generating
efficiency, economy, and population. The results indicate that generating
efficiency effect -90968.57 is the largest inhibiting index while economic
effect is the largest positive index 69084.04 having the role of increasing
CO$_2$ emissions.
