China's carbon emissions structure and reduction potential on the supply-side and demand-side of energy: Under the background of four influencing factors.

In recent years, the issues related to carbon emissions and environment have attracted extensive attentions. Considering four scenarios (the energy conversion, energy capital savings and loans, energy exports and cement production carbon emissions), this paper adopts the energy consumption method an...

China's carbon emissions structure and reduction potential on the supply-side and demand-side of energy: Under the background of four influencing factors.
description In recent years, the issues related to carbon emissions and environment have attracted extensive attentions. Considering four scenarios (the energy conversion, energy capital savings and loans, energy exports and cement production carbon emissions), this paper adopts the energy consumption method and input-output method to analyze China's carbon emissions structure on the supply-side and demand-side of energy, and finally provides policy recommendations for China's structural emission reduction.
