Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Emission Reduction Potential in East and South Coastal China: Scenario Analysis Based on STIRPAT

Estimation of potential energy saving and carbon dioxide emission reduction in China based on an extended non-radial DEA approach

In the process of setting operational targets to achieve sustainable development of economy, environment and natural resources, estimation of potential energy saving and potential CO2 emission reduction becomes extremely important. This estimation can be conducted based on the energy efficiency evaluation for different decision-making units (DMUs) by data envelopment analysis (DEA). Non-fossil ...

Regional-Level Carbon Emissions Modelling and Scenario Analysis: A STIRPAT Case Study in Henan Province, China

Global warming has brought increased attention to the relationship between carbon emissions and economic development. Research on the driving factors of carbon emissions from energy consumption can provide a scientific basis for regional energy savings, as well as emissions reduction and sustainable development. Henan Province is a major agricultural province in China, and it is one of most pop...

Exploring Reduction Potential of Carbon Intensity Based on Back Propagation Neural Network and Scenario Analysis: A Case of Beijing, China

Carbon emissions are the major cause of the global warming; therefore, the exploration of carbon emissions reduction potential is of great significance to reduce carbon emissions. This paper explores the potential of carbon intensity reduction in Beijing in 2020. Based on factors including economic growth, resident population growth, energy structure adjustment, industrial structure adjustment ...

Potential CO2 emission reduction by development of non-grain-based bioethanol in China.

Assessment of the potential CO(2) emission reduction by development of non-grain-based ethanol in China is valuable for both setting up countermeasures against climate change and formulating bioethanol policies. Based on the land occupation property, feedstock classification and selection are conducted, identifying sweet sorghum, cassava, and sweet potato as plantation feedstocks cultivated fro...
