As the world's biggest carbon dioxide (CO2) emitter and largest developing country, China faces daunting challenges to peak its emissions before 2030 achieve neutrality within 40 years. This study fully considered carbon-neutrality goal temperature rise constraints required by Paris Agreement, six long-term development scenarios, conducting a quantitative evaluation on pathways, energy transformation, technology, policy investment demand for each scenario. combined both bottom-up top-down...
ABSTRACT Investment and construction of power infrastructure are directly related to the achievement sustainable development goals. China's trade investment with BRI (Belt Road Initiative) countries have maintained growth trend. The these projects certainly impacts on economic mode goals countries. On collecting basic information renewable energy projects, this paper compares calculates current technology structure grid emission factors host countries, analyses carbon level electricity...
SO2 emissions have been declining in China recently. The emission reduction has mainly achieved engineering reduction, structural and administrative reduction. In this paper, three key industries (electricity generation, steel, cement) are selected to measure the effects of reductions, synergy energy saving, CO2 main results show that, during period '11th Five-Year Plan', coal-fired power plant desulfurization played most crucial role reduction; both can achieve low-pollution emission, but...
This study focuses on a national–regional coordinated development strategy and adopts China Multi-Regional Computable General Equilibrium model to analyze the economic social development, energy demand, carbon emissions of provinces during 14th Five-Year Plan (FYP, 2021–2025) period based demand since New Normal. The main conclusions are following: 1) Under guidance regional strategy, 13 provinces/municipalities expected have per capita gross domestic product (GDP) more than US$15,000, 16...
China must urgently accelerate its decrease of energy use, optimize structure, reduce CO2 emissions, and promote the early realization an ecological civilization. Simultaneously, meeting growing consumer demand is one reasons for increase in use. This study investigates impacts household consumption on use emissions from perspective lifestyle Chinese residents. On basis input–output model 30 provinces, we analyze current situation different regions (spatial scale) with economic development...
The strategic transition from fossil energy to renewable is an irreversible global trend, but the pace of deployment and path cost reduction are uncertain. In this paper, a two-factor learning-curve model wind power photovoltaics (PV) was established based on latest empirical data United States, paths corresponding social impacts were explored through scenario analysis. results demonstrate that both technologies undergoing period rapid development, with learning-by-searching ratio (LSR)...
Abstract Climate change poses many severe threats to China. This aggravates the existing vulnerability of China and is a serious challenge for Chinese government. Adaptation programmes projects are being developed implemented at national local level. Although mitigation not priority, it has been explicitly integrated into development plans. paper addresses question: What policy space climate adaptation level what already done? It examines policies, division responsibility with then looks...
Global inequity and the unbalance of water resources has been a critical issue for many years; Chinese per capita are only 1/4 global average. Meanwhile, as economy is growing rapidly, demand industrial use also increasing. In this case, it important to balance relationship between economic growth use. study, reduction model established northeastern, northern coastal, eastern southern middle Yellow River, Yangtze southwestern, northwestern regions verify environmental Kuznets curve (EKC)...
China has submitted its nationally determined contribution to peak energy-related emissions around 2030. To understand how might develop economy while controlling CO2 emissions, this study surveys a number of recent modeling scenarios that project the country’s economic growth, energy mix, and associated until 2050. Our analysis suggests China’s will continue grow 2040 or 2050 approximately double their 2010 level without additional policy intervention. The alternative scenario, however,...
In 2013, China launched its domestic pilot emissions trading scheme (ETS) as a cost-effective strategy to reduce CO2 emissions. Theoretically, the ETS can interact with feed-in tariffs (FITs) applied renewable energies (REN). This article presents simple method demonstrate how FITs be adjusted based on evolution of carbon prices in order provide climate policy package China. First, by using provincial data and wind solar power examples, it calculates implicit that generate different Chinese...
China faces a critical situation because its water resources account for merely quarter of the global average. Balancing relationship between economic development and industrial consumption is an important issue China. In this study, reduction model established. The adopts per capita GDP eight zones from 2002–2014. Unit root co-integration tests are employed to analyze stationarity data, triple used fitting variables. Results show that eastern coastal middle Yangtze River regions pass...
Global warming caused by human activities exacerbates the water cycle, changes precipitation features, such as amount, intensity and time, raises uncertainties in resources. This work uses run-off data obtained using climate change models under representative concentration pathways (RCPs) selects Yangtze River Basin research boundary to evaluate analyse vulnerability of hydropower generation 2016–2050 on basis evaluation planning model. Results show that amount rainfall during is estimated...
Changes in climate patterns not only affect precipitation and patterns, but also cause the spatiotemporal redistribution of runoff, affecting hydrogeneration turn. Based on coupling relationship between Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) change model surface runoff China, a database China’s major hydropower stations was constructed this study Water Evaluation Planning applied to analyze impacts generation China by region basin under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP)4.5...
