Energy-related CO2 emissions embodied in international trade have been widely studied at the national level in recent years. The embodiment estimates help to explain the “weak carbon leakage” between industrial and developing countries and to reveal the so-called “consumption-based”...

In recent years, energy-related CO2 emissions embodied in international trade and the driving forces have been widely studied by researchers using the environmental input–output framework. Most previous studies however, do not differentiate different input structures in manufacturing...

Energy-related CO2 emissions embodied in international trade have been widely studied by researchers using the environmental input–output framework. In the literature two different approaches to deal with emissions embodied in a country's imports can be found. One of the approaches is based on...

This paper uses nonparametric efficiency analysis technique to estimate the energy efficiency, potential emission reductions and marginal abatement costs of energy-related CO2 emissions in China. We employ a non-radial slacks-based data envelopment analysis (DEA) model for estimating the...

Carbon emission reduction is a long-term strategy for China to promote its economic and social development. However, emission reduction often involves a huge amount of technological investment, which could vary substantially across different provinces due to their discrepancy in economic and...

Transport sector accounts for about 8% of total energy consumption in China and this share will likely increase in the visible future. Improving energy efficiency has been considered as a major way for reducing transport energy use, whereas its effectiveness might be affected by the rebound...

China's electricity generation is mainly dependent on fossil fuel. Promoting electricity conservation in different sectors and regions plays a vital role in reducing China's energy-related CO2 emissions and other pollutants. This paper contributes to identify the sectors and economic regions...
