Energy and carbon intensity: A study on the cross-country industrial shift from China to India and SE Asia

Abstract: Highlights• Emissions intensity higher in India and SE Asia countries compared to China.• India's emissions intensity triple that of China in non-metallic minerals industry.• India's emissions intensity double that of China in iron and steel industry.• Indonesia's emissions intensity double that of China in non-metallic minerals sector.• Paris Agreement INDC commitments to be challenged by industrial relocation. Abstract 1The potential relocation of various industrial sectors from China to India and countries … Show more

“…It implies that some production activities, particularly those conducted by carbon-intensive sectors, were likely to be relocated from China to other developing countries in the BRI. This is in keeping with recent studies reporting emission shifts among developing nations [6,47].…”

“…Obviously, PBA on its own cannot fairly identify national responsibilities, especially for BRI nations, and CBA in principle seems to be both feasible and effective [46]. The improvement in carbon intensities and energy efficiencies, varied among these nations over time [47], which however could not be assessed through PBA or CBA, but rather through TCBA. For nations that have a higher carbon footprint under TCBA than CBA, it makes sense to take immediate actions to reduce carbon intensities to reach the world average.…”

“…Countries often specialize in sectors where they do not have a comparative advantage in energy efficiency. Such patterns were also found by Pappas et al [50] in the case of a comparison between China, India, and the countries of South Asia. The use of energy in equivalent sectors in China was even several times better than in India.…”
