“…The research contents and methods were relatively superficial and single, and further in-depth and specific discussions were required [ 56 ]. (2) Since 2009, research on China’s carbon emissions has developed rapidly, with many keywords emerging, such as the computable general equilibrium model [ 60 ], energy efficiency [ 61 ], shadow price [ 61 ], and the STIRPAT model [ 62 ]. Practical applications of various analytical models and tools enriched the research methodologies, showing increasing attention to empirical research.…”

Addressing global warming is one of the most pressing environmental challenges and a crucial agenda for humanity. In this literature study, we employed bibliometrics to reproduce nearly two decades of research on carbon emission reduction in China, the largest carbon emitter worldwide. The scientometrics analysis was conducted on 1570 academic works published between 2001 and 2021 concerning China’s carbon emission reduction to characterize the knowledge landscape. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, the basic characteristics, research forces, knowledge base, research topic evolution, and research hotspots were identified and revealed. The analysis results show that the attention to and research on China’s carbon emissions have increased in recent years, giving rise to leading institutions and relatively stable core journal groups in this field. The research disciplines are relatively concentrated, but the research collaboration needs strengthening. The research hotspots are mainly carbon emission causes, impacts, and countermeasures in China, and the research frontiers have been constantly advanced and expanded. In the future, research on countermeasures needs more effort, and research cooperation needs to strengthen. The changing landscape of hotspot clusters reveals China’s transition towards a low-carbon economy. Through comprehensive analysis of the potential and obstacles to China’s transition to low-carbon development, we identified three promising areas of action (low-carbon cities, low-carbon technologies and industries, and transforming China’s energy system) and proposed research directions to address remaining gaps systematically.

“…In order to successfully peak China's overall and local carbon emissions, relevant study has given rich policy recommendations from the production side [76,77] and the consumption side [78][79][80]. The western region needs to actively pursue the development of clean energy and low-carbon technology, and actively encourage a low-carbon transition of industrial structure.…”

Embodied carbon flows among regions have led to unfair carbon emission responsibility accounting based on production. However, the heterogeneity of carbon peaking stress between regions is significantly neglected for those embodied carbon flows. Incorporating the carbon peaking stress into the embodied carbon flows can more clearly show what causes the carbon peaking stress and which carbon flow paths are more critical. In this study, the decoupling index of carbon emissions and economy development was applied to characterize the carbon peaking stress in each region, and the environmental extended multi-regional input–output model was applied to re-evaluate the criticality of regional embodied carbon flows. The results showed that the carbon peaking stress in China improved from 2007 to 2012, but the rebound of carbon peaking stress in 2017 made most regions reverse the previous downward trend. The stress to reach carbon peaks varies considerably from region to region, and the stress in the northwest is much higher than that in developed eastern China. Considering the heterogeneity of carbon peaking stress, additional concerns should be given to the net embodied carbon output in the northwestern, northern, and central regions, which can help avoid the dilemma between outsourcing embodied carbon and reducing carbon emissions from production. The policy to reduce emissions should be implemented in all regions that benefit from the net embodied carbon output of the northern and northwestern regions, where the carbon peaking stress is higher. The focus should be on the actual improvement of the carbon peaking stress, not just on the transfer of stress. The increasing urgency of achieving carbon peaking targets and unequal stress for regional peaking emissions calls for differentiated regional mitigation measures to help the Chinese government scientifically and in an orderly manner promote the overall and local carbon peaking work.

“…The evidence suggests that advances in technology are essential for preserving energy and decreasing emissions. Zhang et al [27] hold the belief that the construction of infrastructure is crucial in the reduction of carbon. Chen et al [28] used GDIM, Tapio, and scenario-based dynamic forecasting methods to study the drivers of carbon emissions change in China's transportation from 2005-2019 and concluded that investment is the main driver of carbon emissions growth in the transportation industry.…”

The transportation sector is a major contributor to carbon emissions, and managing its carbon peak is essential for China to reach the 2030 carbon peak target. This paper uses the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) to design baseline scenarios and “double carbon” scenarios (carbon peak and carbon neutrality) based on the accounting of transportation carbon emissions in 30 provinces and cities in China to facilitate regional differentiation and forecast the development trend of transportation carbon emissions. Using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, a comprehensive transportation carbon emission research and judgment system has been developed based on the forecast results. The research indicates a substantial increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transport in China over the past 15 years, with an average growth rate of 5.9%, from 387.42 mt in 2005 to 917.00 mt in 2019. In the scenario prediction analysis, the overall carbon emission of the “two-carbon” scenario exhibits varying levels of reduction compared with the baseline scenario. According to the comprehensive research and judgment system, when the comprehensive evaluation index corresponding to the turning point year of transportation carbon emissions is greater than 0.85, and the index remains above 0.85 after the turning point, it can be judged that a region has achieved the peak of transportation carbon dioxide emissions under 95% possibility. It shows that China’s policies and strategies for carbon and emission reduction have played a significant role in transportation, but the low-carbon transformation and development still face great challenges.
