China has been the world's largest producer and consumer of air conditioners, and more and more RACs would be owned by China's households along with the rapid economic development. Air Conditioner is also considered as one of the largest potential contributors to energy reduction among home...

The Chinese government has outlined plans for developing new energy vehicles (NEVs) to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. This paper used a logistic-curve to predict the market share of NEVs in the next decade, and then calculated the potential environment benefits of each and...

Based on the initial stage situation of new energy electric vehicles (electric vehicles) industry in China, this paper uses patents retrieval and literatures polymerization methods to analyze the technological innovation status quo and the regional distribution features in the electric vehicles...

China and the United States are the top two largest energy consumers, but they have totally different energy consumption patterns. Firstly, newly added embodied energy inventory (NAEEI) is created based on the concept of embodied energy. We combine the improved economic input-output approach...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has recently become a popular approach in measuring the energy and environment performance at the macro-economy level. A common limitation of several previous studies is that they ignored the undesirable outputs and did not consider the separation of inputs into...

The current cost-plus natural gas pricing mechanism makes the gas price too low, resulting in a lot of consumer-side subsidies, which makes natural gas over-consumed. This paper applies the price-gap approach and input-output analysis technology to quantitatively analyze both of the direct and...

In China, Rapid economic growth has stimulated fast urban expansion and rural household income and consumption expenditure. In current paper, an input-output method is used to determine the impact of China's increased urban and rural household consumption on carbon emissions. The results shows...

Employees constitute a large target group for energy conservation. Companies that want to reduce their energy consumption should promote their employees' participation. For successful energy saving in companies, employees should save energy on a continued basis, and develop the habit of energy...

Energy technology innovation plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions. This paper investigates whether there is relationship between energy technology patents and CO2 emissions of 30 provinces in mainland China during 1997 - 2008. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is included in the study...

Aggregate energy is usually measured in the linear weighted summation of various energy types based on thermal dynamics laws. This measurement is scientific and acceptable in the physics or energy engineering world. However, it implicitly assumes that all energy types are perfectly substitutable...
