Carbon footprint and embodied carbon transfer at the provincial level of the Yellow River Basin

Xueliang Yuan et al.

Summary: The ecological conservation and high-quality development of China's Yellow River Basin is a national strategy proposed in 2019. This study utilizes input-output models to analyze the carbon footprint and embodied carbon transfer in nine provinces within the basin, highlighting the importance of clarifying carbon emissions and reduction strategies. The research shows a 23.4% decrease in per capita carbon footprint in the Yellow River Basin from 2012 to 2017, with certain sectors like petroleum processing, construction, and metal processing having higher emissions. Additionally, the study identifies significant carbon emission transfers between provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the basin.

Does Industrial Transfer Change the Spatial Structure of CO2 Emissions?-Evidence from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region in China

Jiachen Yue et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of industrial transfer on CO2 emissions and found that the promotion effect of industrial transfer on CO2 emissions is small and decreases over time. Industrial transfer affects CO2 emissions by acting on the economic level, population size, and urbanization level, but the indirect effect is weaker than the direct effect.

Spatial-temporal evolution and driving forces of provincial carbon footprints in China: An integrated EE-MRIO and WA-SDA approach

Wen-Hao Xu et al.

Summary: This study explored the distribution characteristics, spatial-temporal evolution process, and driving factors of provincial carbon footprints in China using the environmentally-extended multi-regional input-output and weighted average structural decomposition analysis models. The results showed that carbon footprints increased from 2007 to 2017, with the gravity centers shifting towards underdeveloped western China. Measures to reduce carbon footprints should focus on per capita consumption and population changes in economically-developed populous regions, as well as bidirectional adjustments in emission intensity and production structure in Inner Mongolia.

Principal of environmental life cycle assessment for medical waste during COVID-19 outbreak to support sustainable development goals

Ashkan Nabavi-Pelesaraei et al.

Summary: The disposal of medical waste is crucial in preventing the spread of pandemics like COVID-19. With the increase in generation of medical waste, a structured evaluation is needed to quantify its potential environmental impacts and support sustainable development goals. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a practical approach for examining the environmental impacts of waste disposal processes. This research investigates the management of COVID-19 medical waste (CMW) through LCA, using the most up-to-date methodology (ReCiPe2016) to compute environmental damages. The study concludes that LCA is an effective method for evaluating the environmental burden of CMW management scenarios in critical conditions, supporting sustainable development goals.

Structural emissions reduction of China's power and heating industry under the goal of double carbon: A perspective from input-output analysis

Tangyang Jiang et al.

Summary: Since 2020, emissions reduction has been a key focus for the Chinese government. The power and heating sector in China accounts for about 50% of total energy utilization. This study examines the structural emission reduction of China's power and heating industry from 2007 to 2015 using various analytical methods. The findings show that factors such as energy intensity, input, and energy composition play a critical role in reducing CO 2 e emissions. The ultimate demand is identified as the core driving factor for CO 2 e growth in the power and heating sector. Low-carbon power has a reduction effect, while high-carbon energy sources do not show significant emissions reduction.

Summary: This study used an environment extended input-output model to calculate the aggregate embodied carbon intensity (AECI) of Shanxi Province in different years and analyze its contributors and drivers. The results showed that outflow to other provinces became the primary contributor to AECI change after 2012, and the sectors of electricity, construction, mining, and metallurgy contributed the most to AECI. The main driver of AECI change shifted gradually from energy intensity to production structure and final demand factors.

Spatial-temporal evolution and peak prediction of embodied carbon emissions in China's interregional trade

Shu Mo et al.

Summary: The paper examines the spatial-temporal evolution pattern and peak prediction of embodied carbon emissions in China's inter-regional trade using the multi-regional input-output method. The study finds that the embodied carbon in China's inter-regional commerce has an overall rising tendency in the temporal dimension and a distribution characteristic of high in the west and north and low in the east and south in the spatial dimension. The study also proposes a two-dimensional model of economic development and embodied carbon emissions. The findings suggest the need for differentiated carbon emission reduction policies, inter-regional cooperative mechanisms, and promotion of low-carbon development in inter-regional trade to achieve China's green economy.

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: This article examines the transfer of carbon emissions in interprovincial trade in China and proposes a carbon emission reduction allocation approach based on the consumption principle. It is found that under the production-based allocation principle, carbon emission transfer leads to equity and efficiency losses in China. The proposed approach under the consumption principle can improve emission reduction efficiency and mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations in regional carbon emissions.

Summary: China plays a key role in globalization and is reducing trade barriers within the country, which has implications for CO2 flows between provinces. Research shows that market segmentation has significantly decreased interprovincial CO2 flows in China, especially between the Central and Western regions. Factors such as geographical distance also impact CO2 flows, highlighting the need for policies to address environmental inequality resulting from reduced market segmentation.

Inter-provincial sectoral embodied CO2 net-transfer analysis in China based on hypothetical extraction method and complex network analysis

Yuying Wang et al.

Summary: This study examines the inter-provincial sectoral linkages of embodied CO2 in 2012 and 2015 in China using the hypothetical extraction method. Key sectors with large linkages are mainly heavy industries in North China, with the electricity industry as the largest net CO2 outflow sector and the construction industry as the largest net inflow sector. The CO2 transfer networks show closely connected and spatial clustering features, reflecting the close linkage between geographically adjacent sectors. Important media sectors are mostly located in northwest China with small industrial scale and linkage degrees, such as the transport equipment industry in Shanxi. Emission reduction policies should be planned overall and tailored to local conditions.
