Weishi Zhang, David Stern, Xianbing Liu, Wenjia Cai, more

Journal of Cleaner Production > 2017 > 165 > C > 734-745

Households may imperfectly implement energy saving measures. This study identifies two factors resulting in imperfect use of energy-saving technology by households. Households often continue to use old technologies alongside new ones, and the energy-saving technologies have shorter actual lifetimes than their designed lifetimes. These two factors are considered when computing marginal energy conservation...

Energy Procedia > 2017 > 105 > C > 3433-3439

Although 169 Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) have been submitted up to June 2016, there is still around 1.2-1.7 Gillion tons’ CO₂ emission gap in 2030 to realize the 2°C target. The main objectives of this paper are to analyze the significance and feasibility of conducting a sectoral approach as complement to cover the emission gap on the base of INDC framework. The scenario analysis...
