Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2020, President Xi Jinping announced that the People's Republic of China will “aim to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060”. Amid the growing wave of governments around the world setting targets for reaching net zero emissions, no pledge is as significant as China's. The country is the world's largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, accounting for one-third of global CO2 emissions. The pace of China's emissions reductions will be an important factor in global efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. This report, An Energy Sector Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality in China, responds to the Chinese government's invitation to the International Energy Agency to cooperate on long-term strategies by setting out pathways for reaching carbon neutrality in China's energy sector. It shows that achieving carbon neutrality fits with China's broader development goals, such as increasing prosperity and shifting towards innovation-driven growth. The first pathway in this Roadmap - the Announced Pledges Scenario - reflects the enhanced targets China announced in 2020. The report also explores the implications of a faster transition - the Accelerated Transition Scenario - and the socio-economic benefits it would bring beyond those associated with reducing the impact of climate change. This Roadmap examines the technology challenges and opportunities that this new phase of the clean energy transition will bring for China's development, with a focus on long-term needs. The technology innovations required in the Chinese context are a key in-depth focus area. The report concludes with a series of policy considerations to inform China's energy debate.

Book Synopsis Climate Mitigation and Adaptation in China by : Jun Fu
Download or read book Climate Mitigation and Adaptation in China written by Jun Fu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a huge challenge to humanity in the 21th century. In view of China’s recent pledge to the international community to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, this book examines climate mitigation and adaptation efforts in China through the prism of the steel sector, and it does so from three interrelated perspectives, i.e., policy, technology, and market. The book argues that in developing the country’s strategy towards green growth, over the years there has been a positive and interactive relationship between China’s international commitments and domestic agenda setting in mitigation and adaptation to the impact of climate change. To illustrate China’s efforts, two special areas, i.e., carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and emissions-trading system (ETS), have received focused examination. Along the spectrum of low-carbon, zero-carbon, and negative-carbon strategies, this study ends with a simulation model which outlines different policy scenarios, challenges, and uncertainties, as China moves further on, trying to achieve carbon neutrality in 2060. The book will be of interest to scholars, policy-makers, and business executives who want to understand China’s growing role in the world.
Book Synopsis China as a Global Clean Energy Champion by : Philip Andrews-Speed
Download or read book China as a Global Clean Energy Champion written by Philip Andrews-Speed and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses China’s reputation as a global clean energy champion, and applies institutional and public policy theories to explain how the country has achieved so much and why there continue to be so many unintended consequences and constraints to progress. It considers the extent to which the government has successfully boosted the manufacture and deployment of low-carbon electricity generating infrastructure, cleaned up thermal power generation, and enhanced energy efficiency, dramatically constraining China’s rising carbon dioxide emissions, but also examines the substantial political and financial capital required to reinforce the predominantly administrative policy instruments and the mix of special interests and poor coordination that are endemic to the energy sector. Arguing that the current approach seems to be encountering ever diminishing returns, the book considers whether ongoing sector reforms and the new national emissions trading scheme can reinvigorate the nation’s clean energy trajectory.
Book Synopsis Optimal Transitions Toward Carbon Neutrality in Chinese Power Sector by : Dequn Zhou
Download or read book Optimal Transitions Toward Carbon Neutrality in Chinese Power Sector written by Dequn Zhou and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon emission reduction, cost-affordability and supply-reliability are all important for the transition to a carbon-neutral power system in China. This study searches for optimal transitions toward carbon neutrality in the power sector with a high spatial resolution model, coordinating deployments of power generation, transmission, and storage. It analyzes the impacts of regional heterogeneity, technological change, and low-carbon policies on the optimal transitions. The results show that renewable energy generation technologies, especially photovoltaic, might dominate the market in the latter planning period. With technological change and low-carbon policies, offshore wind and nuclear might replace fossil energy in coastal regions. Future electricity consumption would be dominated by local absorption and guaranteed by long-distance transmission. Storage capacity would be necessary to balance intermittent output with high penetration of renewable energy. This study also provides several policy implications related to improvement of grid flexibility, reprogramming of electricity transmissions, coordinated deployments of energy storage technologies, and implementation of low-carbon policies.

Book Synopsis Interactions Between China’s National Emissions Trading Scheme and Electricity Market: Practices and Policies by : Tsun Se Cheong
Download or read book Interactions Between China’s National Emissions Trading Scheme and Electricity Market: Practices and Policies written by Tsun Se Cheong and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-03 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s national carbon market, the world’s largest emissions trading scheme (ETS), kicked off its first online trade recently. This can be called a milestone for the country towards the nation’s goals of having CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. China’s national ETS initially covers the power sector, before being expanded to a much broader set of energy-intensive industries. On one hand, the electricity sector, the largest carbon-emitting industry, is responsible for about 40% of China’s emissions, and it has great significance to response to global climate change. On the other hand, the effectiveness of China’s ETS will rest on how well it is coordinated with power market regulations and policies. In this regard, the deepening of reform, as well as the advanced technology and its applications in the electricity market will add new challenges and opportunities to electricity trade, which, in turn, influences national ETS. Therefore, this brings urgency to accurately capture the dynamic interactions between national ETS and electricity market to transform carbon trading into a practical and effective way to decarbonize the power sector.

This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is an encyclopaedic analysis of the current and future energy system of the world’s most populous country and second biggest economy. What happens in China impacts the planet. In the past 40 years China has achieved one of the most remarkable economic growth rates in history. Its GDP has risen by a factor of 65, enabling 850,000 people to rise out of poverty. Growth on this scale comes with consequences. China is the world’s biggest consumer of primary energy and the world’s biggest emitter of CO2 emissions. Creating a prosperous and harmonious society that delivers economic growth and a high quality of life for all will require radical change in the energy sector, and a rewiring of the economy more widely. In China’s Energy Revolution in the Context of the Global Energy Transition, a team of researchers from the Development Research Center of the State Council of China and Shell International examine how China can revolutionise its supply and use of energy. They examine the entire energy system: coal, oil, gas, nuclear, renewables and new energies in production, conversion, distribution and consumption. They compare China with case studies and lessons learned in other countries. They ask which technology, policy and market mechanisms are required to support the change and they explore how international cooperation can smooth the way to an energy revolution in China and across the world. And, they create and compare scenarios on possible pathways to a future energy system that is low-carbon, affordable, secure and reliable.

This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The People's Republic of China (PRC) is taking concerted efforts and making large investments to peak out its carbon dioxide emissions around 2030. While current efforts are prioritizing accelerated energy efficiency and rapid expansion of renewables and nuclear in the energy mix, the fossil fuel related carbon dioxide emissions are still expected to rise even under a "new normal" growth strategies in the PRC. This brings in renewed emphasis on carbon capture and storage (CCS), which is currently the only near-commercial technologies to make deep cuts (up to 90%) in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel related power plants and industries. This report draws on relevant technical assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB), consultants' reports, and the work of ADB staff to assess the potential, the barriers and the challenges in demonstrating and deploying CCS in the PRC. It identifies unique low cost opportunities, recommends a gradual two phase approach to CCS deployment in the PRC and, provides complementary suite of policy actions to enable it.

The impacts on existing infrastructures and the demand of future ones will be quantitatively examined to diagnose the stake in detail. Gaps will be evaluated and the necessary pace of changes in the next three decades will be sketched. The trillion-dollar stake will be discussed about its associated significant challenges and opportunities.Tailored for policy-makers, businesses, and decision-makers navigating the carbon-neutral landscape, this book is an invaluable resource for professionals, industry players, and academic courses addressing energy resources, climate change and CO2 mitigation.
Download or read book A New Path written by Shaojun Zeng and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2020, China announced that it would peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060. How and whether it can achieve the target is a matter of great concern to the international community. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis of the underlying theory of "Low-Carbon Plus", in which "low carbon" is the core and "plus" represents the critical areas that will go through low-carbon transformation (including industry, agriculture, buildings, transportation, energy and consumption), and puts forward the most practical path for China to achieve carbon neutrality. Starting from the basic theory of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy, the book introduces the low-carbon development situation domestically and abroad, summarizes the essential experiences and inspirations, and outlines a roadmap for China to implement the strategy. While focusing on emission reduction in primary and secondary industries, this book strongly recommends the development of low-carbon finance and low-carbon consumption, which can facilitate the ultimate realization of the Low-Carbon Plus strategy. As a fruitful result of the research by China’s national think tank, Low-Carbon Plus is an emerging development model that complements economic development and forces technological innovation, institutional innovation, and mind shift, and it is expected to have a significant and far-reaching impact on global economic growth.
