As the national energy and environmental problems becomes more acute, an urgent subject that needs to be solved by power enterprises is to strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction as well as to improve low-carbon benefits. The existing literature has neither provided a complete system for evaluating the low-carbon benefits of smart grids, nor eliminated the influences of environmental...
Production costs of alternative energies are still high, but increased demand for oil, future oil supply shortage concerns and climate change concerns, have led to the fast development of renewable energy firms. The sector accomplished has accomplished remarkable progress and attracted attention to clean energy, both at the industry level and at the academic side. With this work we attempt to determine...
Hebei industrial structure is imbalanced, mainly focused on industry. The consumption structure is monotonous, relying too heavily on coal. Which has caused energy shortage, serious environment pollution, the feature of "high carbon economy" is very outstanding. After past several years of rapid economic growth, Hebei is facing an urgent task of transforming the pattern of economic growth...
In this paper, the authors estimated the amount of energy-related carbon emissions from different types of primary energy, including coal, oil, and natural gas in Baoding from 2001 to 2010.Then a Gray Relational Analysis model was established on the driving factors of carbon emissions, which included the economic scale, the population scale, the fixed assets investment scale, the industrial scale,...
Low carbon economy (LCE) is a new approach of development under global climate change. While the principle of low carbon economy is well accepted, further study of concept and assessment methodology for LCE is absent. To promote the low carbon economic development, this paper has constructed the evaluation index system of low carbon economy, which works from the angle of connotation of low carbon...
In this paper we examine levels and trends in conventional and regulation on CO2 emissions sensitive productivity over the period 1995 to 2007. Firstly, we estimate and compare two type TFP index from regulations on CO2 emissions to no regulations over current levels. And test the difference of TFP in two kinds of conditions. The major conclusions are as follows: With accounting for convention, sensitive...
This paper measures China's regional differences of carbon emissions based on Theil index methodology mainly, takes the contribution of inter-region and inner-region differences to total value into decomposition, compares the GDP-weighted Theil index and the one weighted on industrial added value, mainly focus on the impact of the level of economic development and industrialization on carbon emissions...
Based on reference literature, this paper use DEA Malmquist technology to establish the total factor index model considered the variable returns to scale for evaluating carbon emissions performance and analyzed the results. And then, based on the STIRPAT equation, the paper used provincial panel data to test the main factors of carbon emissions performance in China. All the results showed that: In...
The low carbon development assessment can provide valid information to support decision making in regional sustainable development. With the support of forest carbon sinks information simulated from remote sensing data, the low carbon development assessment index framework of Fujian Province, China was constructed. After indices weighting by the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), the low carbon...
Urban low-carbon competitiveness is closely related to environmental protection, low-carbon economy and sustainable urban development. The G20 Low Carbon Competitiveness report by Vivid Economics provides a fresh perspective. Commissioned by E3G and the Climate Institute (Australia), the report offers the first comparative, data-driven analysis of the low carbon competitiveness of major economies...
