“…The second group of studies focused on the link between the energy consumption nexus with growth and China's CO 2 emissions (Abdul Jalil and Syed F. Mahmud 2009;Xing-Ping Zhang and Xiao-Mei Cheng 2009;Li et al 2011;Sisi Wang et al 2011;Govindaraju and Tang 2013;Luukkanen et al 2015) and emphasized that energy usage is the main driver of CO 2 emissions in China. Jalil and Mahmud (2009) used the ARDL method to examine long-term relationships between energy, growth, and the CO 2 emissions nexus for China by employing time series data collected between 1975 and 2005.…”

This study empirically analyses the long-term relationship between agricultural production and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in China by using annual data covering1971-2010. In estimating the relationship between agriculture and CO2 emissions, the study also includes real income and energy consumption as variables in the model, in line with the Environmental Kuznet Curves (EKC) hypothesis. To identify the existence of a long-term relationship between CO2 emissions and agriculture, the bounds test approach for cointegration and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methods are used. To determine the robustness of the results, other single-equation cointegration methods such as fully modified least squares (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and canonical cointegration regression (CCR) are also estimated. The results confirm cointegration among variables and the presence of an inverse U-shaped agriculture-induced EKC curve for China. Agriculture increases a country's longterm CO2 emissions. The government, policymakers, and agricultural producers should set strategies covering energy-intensive economic activities, including agriculture, to solve environmental problems.

“…In 2013, China's energy consumption accounted for 22.4% of the world's total energy consumption and the dependence on foreign oil exceeded 60%. China's CO 2 and energy intensity targets are rather stringent (Luukkanen et al, 2015). It is becoming more evident that energy constrains economic and social development and influences ecological environment across industries (Jiang and Lin, 2013), which is the same for agriculture sector.…”

“…In this scenario, the generation capacity of hydropower reaches 585 GW (the highest assumed capacity in existing literatures which is higher than technical potential) following [91], nearly all of the potential is developed. And hydro electricity production is 2106.8 TWh, accounting for 22% of electricity demand.…”

“…These are: (1) low nuclear-hydropower; (2) low nuclear-wind power; (3) low nuclear-PV; (4) balanced scenario; and (5)-(8) are high nuclear power versions of the earlier scenarios. The low nuclear power assumption (120 GW) is based on the nuclear plants that are currently under application, construction and planning [90], while the high nuclear power assumption (200 GW) is based on a projection from others [91]. Detailed scenario assumptions can be seen in Table 4 and the resulting generation mix obtained by EnergyPLAN can be seen in Figure 1.…”

Sustainable Energy Transitions in China: Renewable Options and Impacts on the Electricity System

Abstract:Chinese energy consumption has been dominated by coal for decades, but this needs to change to protect the environment and mitigate anthropogenic climate change. Renewable energy development is needed to fulfil the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) for the post-2020 period, as stated on the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris. This paper reviews the potential of renewable energy in China and how it could be utilised to meet the INDC goals. A business-as-usual case and eight alternative scenarios with 40% renewable electricity are explored using the EnergyPLAN model to visualise out to the year 2030. Five criteria (total cost, total capacity, excess electricity, CO 2 emissions, and direct job creation) are used to assess the sustainability of the scenarios. The results indicate that renewables can meet the goal of a 20% share of non-fossil energy in primary energy and 40%-50% share of non-fossil energy in electricity power. The low nuclear-hydro power scenario is the most optimal scenario based on the used evaluation criteria. The Chinese government should implement new policies aimed at promoting integrated development of wind power and solar PV.
