Purpose: This paper discussed possible ways of implementing effective energy conservation and GHG emission reduction measures by providing: the forecasts of mid-to-long term citywide carbon emission rate; and the analysis of potential low-carbon transport solutions. Design/methodology/approach:...

Improving energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, but may also cause “Jevons Paradox” that in return will cause the increase in total energy consumptions. In this paper, we examine the rebound effects in Beijing’s energy consumptions...
