Using the STIRPAT model and scenario analysis, this study predicts carbon emissions from energy consumption in Northwest China from 2017 to 2030. Nine development patterns under three levels of environmental regulation and FDI are analyzed …

LI Jiaxiu

This study applies LMDI decomposition to quantify drivers of CO2 emissions in five Central Asian countries and compares decoupling status between economic growth and emissions. It provides policy insights for low-carbon transition in one of…

Long Zhi, Sun Yingqi, Lang Lixia +4

This study analyzes carbon emission characteristics and spatiotemporal patterns in Qingcheng County, a typical county on the Loess Plateau. County-level regions are key administrative units for China's dual-carbon goals. Findings offer insi…

Wu Qian, Chen Qiangqiang

This study decomposes carbon emission drivers across 13 sectors in Gansu Province (2010-2019) using LMDI and Tapio decoupling models. It evaluates how each factor contributes to decoupling economic growth from emissions, offering policy imp…

Using 2021 field survey data and ordinary least squares regression, this study analyzes household energy consumption in Xining, a plateau city critical to China's ecological security. It finds households are a major contributor to energy-re…

Shao Zhenghan

This paper measures carbon risk using E ratings of Chinese A-share firms from 2009 to 2020, and demonstrates a reversal in the sign of the carbon premium during 2015-2016. Using simulated portfolios and firm-characteristic regressions, it f…

Wang Zhiqiang

This study examines Xinjiang's water-energy-carbon coupled system using environmental input-output and ecological network analysis on 2007/2012/2017 input-output tables. It quantifies linkage effects and ecological pressure transmission amo…

Du Yaming

Using panel data from nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin (2000-2019) and a Super-SBM model, this study measures tourism carbon emission efficiency from static and dynamic perspectives, revealing spatiotemporal evolution and analyzing …

ZHANG Chunhui^1^  ZHANG Zhen^2^

This paper examines the power generation sector, the first to launch domestic carbon emissions trading. It presents management measures and implementation schemes for emissions trading, highlighting the role of smart meters in emissions acc…

ZHANG Chunhui¹  ZHANG Zhen²

This paper examines the origin and accuracy of carbon emission factors used in electric carbon meters. By comparing literature sources, it raises critical questions about the reliability of these factors and their application in carbon acco…

Han Chuqiao

This study analyzes land cover changes and their impacts on terrestrial carbon storage in the Turpan-Hami Basin, China, using the PLUS-InVEST model. It simulates future carbon storage under multiple scenarios, offering insights for carbon n…

Niu Zhenchuan, Wang Peng, Wu Shugang +1

China's dual-carbon targets demand accurate CO2 emission data. This paper discusses combining atmospheric CO2 observations with modeling for emissions verification, following IPCC recommendations, to support carbon neutrality goals and inte…

This paper analyzes the contribution of electric vehicles (EVs) to China's energy security and its dual carbon goals (carbon peak and carbon neutrality). Against a complex international backdrop, it argues that while energy security underpi…

Gu Baihe^1,2^ Yu Donghui^1,2^ Wang Can^3^ Wang Yi^1,2*^

This paper studies strategy and policy decisions for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in China. It proposes a systematic roadmap for the dual-carbon transformation integrating objectives, technology, capital, and policy. It id…

Wei Yigang, Shi Jiawei, Xu Guannan

This study analyzes 1,743 low-carbon policies issued in China from 2000 to 2021 using text mining and policy econometrics within a framework of 'policy objectives—policy themes—policy fluctuations.' It systematically reviews the development…

Fu Wei, Gong Haixiu, Chen Jiancheng

This study calculates indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in China and applies social network analysis to examine the spatial correlation network structure, identifying clustering patterns and interregional linkages from 20…
