The mitigation efforts of China are increasingly important for meeting global climate target since the rapid economic growth of China has led to an increasing share in the world's total CO2 emissions, and nowadays, China has become the world's largest CO2 emitter. This paper sets out to explore...

By proposing the hypotheses for carbon price volatility, this paper uses variance ratio and Ensemble Empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to analyze the carbon price. Results show that carbon price is influenced by temperature, market mechanism and heterogeneous environment. Carbon market is...

China's total energy consumption, according to the official data, decreased impressively during 1997-1998 and increased sharply during 2003-2007, which in turn resulted in energy intensity fluctuation. Many literatures explained this "unusual phenomenon" from the perspectives of technical...

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...

An approach to determine carbon emission reduction target allocation based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm, and Shapley decomposition (PSO-FCM-Shapley) is proposed in this study. The method decomposes total carbon emissions into an...

This paper presents a modeling comparison project on how the 2°C climate target could affect economic and energy systems development in China and India. The analysis uses a framework that harmonizes baseline developments and soft-links seven national and global models being either economy wide...

Regarding the carbon emissions allocation principles, whether historical responsibility can be and how to be incorporated into the global climate framework is still under heated discussions. Here we argue that the permits share of most developed countries will sharply shrink when historical...

Evaluating the energy and emissions efficiency, measuring the energy saving and emissions reduction potential, and estimating the carbon price in China at the regional level are considered a crucial way to identify the regional efficiency levels and efficiency promotion potentials, as well as to...

The fluctuations of China's energy intensity have attracted the attention of many scholars, but fewer studies consider the data quality of official input-output tables. This paper conducts a decomposition model by using the Divisia method based on the input-output tables. Because of the problems...
