This study analyzes factors that influence carbon emissions due to fossil energy consumption in China to identify key factors for policies promoting carbon emission reductions. Carbon emissions for energy consumption are decomposed into energy structure, energy intensity, industry structure,...

Extrusion pretreatment was applied to enhance fermentative methane production from rice straw. The extrusion-pretreated rice straw (EPRS) showed significant particle size reduction, physical properties improvement and volume expansion, as compared to the milling-pretreatment rice straw (MPRS)...

In this paper we study the spatial and temporal distribution of the wind and hydro resources, together with electricity demand and prices, with the objective to gain insights on the trade-offs of developing wind power in different parts of the country. It is particularly important to understand...
