This paper presents a decomposition analysis of energy-related CO2 emission in China for the period 1991-2006 divided into three equal time intervals. The complete decomposition method developed by Sun is used to analyze the nature of the four factors: CO2 intensity, energy intensity, structural...

As the country with the second largest emitter of energy-related CO2 gas, China experienced a dramatic decline in CO2 emission intensity from 1991 to 2000, but since then the rate of decline slowed and CO2 emission intensity actually increased in 2003. In this paper, the complete decomposition...

Electricity consumption in the industrial sector experienced a dramatic increase between 1998 and 2007, accounting for approximately 75% of China's total electricity consumption. This study analyzes the potential factors influencing the growth of electricity consumption in China's industrial...

With the intensification of global warming, the issue of carbon emissions causes more and more attention in recent years. In this paper, China’s 30 provincial-level administrative units are divided into five emission regions according to the annual average value of provincial CO2 emissions per...

With the intensification of global warming and continued growth in energy consumption, China is facing increasing pressure to cut its CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions down. This paper discusses the driving forces influencing China's CO2 emissions based on Path–STIRPAT model—a method combining...

China's CO2 emission has attracted world's attention in the last few years for its rapid increase. It is necessary to analyze the current situation of China's carbon emission for its CO2 reduction. Carbon flow chart is an intuitive and quantitative tool for showing a whole picture of CO2 flows...

The purpose of this paper is to identify the relations between transportation energy consumption and its impacted factors. We first analyze the current status of transportation energy consumption in China. Then, the logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) technique is used to find the nature of...

The issue of China's CO2 emissions has become a major focus of the growing concerns, globally, for its potential impact on Climate Change. In this paper, supply chain paths that drive changes in life cycle CO2 emissions in China from 1992 to 2007 were identified, based on SPD (structural path...

This paper analyzes the effect of applying a combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system in two types of buildings: residential and office buildings in Dalian, China. The CCHP system configuration was optimized by adding an air-conditioning system (AC) and a heat storage tank (HST) in each...

As agricultural mechanization accelerates the development of agriculture in China, to control the growth of the resulting energy consumption of mechanized agriculture without negatively affecting economic development has become a major challenge. A systematic analysis of the factors (total...
