Abstract: At present, the ratio of GDP and carbon emissions is usually used as an indicator to measure carbon-productivity. However, as a input factor, the output of carbon emissions space not only includes economic performance but also includes the environment, employment and other integrated performance. Under the concept of generalized carbon productivity, using the data from the China Statistical Yearbook, the generalized carbon-productivity index from 2004-2009 of Chinese industrial sector is evaluated, based on directional distance function and data envelopment analysis method. The results indicate that, firstly the overall carbon-productivity index of Chinese industrial sector is less than 1, which means that there is a downward trend of generalized carbon productivity. Secondly, downward trend is mainly due to the low technical efficiency and scale inefficiency.

Key words: China’s industrial sector, generalized carbon-productivity, technical efficiency, scale efficiency
