The highlighted role of China in controlling emissions
With rapid industrialization and urbanization,
China have become the main contributor to
the rapid growth of global carbon emissions
and energy consumption

Findings from historical trend of emissions
1. Economy growth is the major driver of
Chinaās carbon emissions
2. Energy intensity of GDP is the main driving
factor for Chinaās historical carbon emission
reduction.
3. Carbon intensity of energy has been rising
in recent years, though its magnitude still falls
far behind of that from energy intensity of GDP

Achievements and challenges
Ref: world bank, global tracking framework-
Sustainable energy for all
China tops the energy conservation
during 1990-2010
ā¢ Current energy prices do not fully reflect their
impacts on environment
ā¢ Misfit between national and provincial energy
data causes confusion in assessment and
supervision
ā¢ Inadequate personnel and institutional
mechanisms regarding energy management,
supervision, etc. constrains further
improvement in energy efficiency

Kaya decomposition of carbon emissions
1. Huge potential in emission reduction
from energy conservation and RE
development
2. Energy conservation still plays a key
role in reducing Chinaās carbon
emissions
3. The decarbonization of energy system
gradually dominate the emissions
reduction after 2030 due to the
expansion of RE and CCUS application.
CCUSās annual net removal of 2100Mt in
2050 (28% emission reduction).

Policy Suggestions for energy low carbon transition
Reform energy price system to encourage energy conservation/ low carbon energies
Create an enabling business environmentā¢ Revise RE subsidy/preferencial policy schemes by rewarding both construction and operation
ā¢ Continue use subsidy but in a gradually decreasing manner to encourage RE development
Encourage innovationā¢ Innovate the use of information technology to improve the efficiency of facilities
ā¢ strengthen R&D in RE technologies (efficiency, cost)
Enhance the integration of RE into power systemā¢ Better grid access and more flexible peak-load infrastructure
Improve energy data avaliabilityā¢ Improve energy use data collection in facility level
ā¢ Increase the availability of provincial/city level and improve data access
ā¢ Enhance capacity building for qualified human and institutional capacity for deployment of advanced
technologies and related infrastructure
