A low carbon development guide for local government actions in China

Local level actions are crucial for achieving energy saving and GHG emission reduction targets. Yet it can be challenging to implement new policies and actions owing to a lack of information, funding and capacity at the local level – especially in developing countries such as China. Even though the Chinese government has set national energy and carbon intensity reduction targets, most local governments do not have sufficient knowledge regarding the necessary actions to achieve the targets, as well as the effectiveness and cost of policies; nor do they know how to design and implement a low carbon development plan. This article presents information for local governments on how to create an action plan to tackle climate change and increase energy efficiency. The research examines indicators that can be used to define low carbon development and to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions taken. The guidance provides a step-by-step description of how action plans can be established and essential elements that should be included – from preparing a GHG emission inventory to implementation of the plan. It also provides a menu of policies and best practices found internationally and in China to encourage low carbon development in industry, buildings, transportation, power, agriculture and forestry.

Energy in the Developing World

The five billion persons at the lower economic levels are not only poor, but commonly use technologies that are less efficient and more polluting, wasting their money, hurting their health, polluting their cites, and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Many first‐world researchers, including the authors, are seeking to help these persons achieve a better life by collaborating on need‐driven solutions to energy problems. Here we examine three specific examples of solutions to energy problems, and mitigation strategies in the developing world:(1) Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling in China. Between 1990 and 2025, China will add 675 million new urban residents, all of whom expect housing, electricity, water, transportation, and other energy services. Policies and institutions must be rapidly set up to manage the anticipated rapid rise in household and commercial energy consumption. This process has progressed from legislating, and setting up oversight of minimum energy performance standards in...

China: Energy Efficiency Where it Really Matters

This chapter examines the extent to which China’s rapid economic growth is linked to electricity demand growth, specifically focusing on credible policies that can delink the two. The authors examine two scenarios of future growth – a future in which current trends prevail (“expected future”) and another that differs from the first primarily in strengthened energy efficiency policies – using an end-use energy model developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The model considers sales and saturation of energy-using equipment, efficiency standards, usage, turnover rates, size, and other factors, which are updated every decade. The inputs are based on historical experiences of developed countries and assumptions about technological change and human preferences.
