Energy technology changes and CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission scenarios in China
With its recent rapid economic growth, China has become one of the foremost countries in terms of energy consumption and CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission. The extent of future CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission in China and how to reduce it are important issues. This paper presents the forecast results of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission studies for several cases and assesses the various policy options by using the AIM/end-use model and analyzing CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> reduction costs for various sectors. The results shrued that CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission will increase with the rapid economic development in China, but it is possible to slow down the CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission growth rate by using technological progress, efficient markets, and by adopting policies for CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> reduction.
