Carbon reduction in commercial building operations: A provincial retrospection in China

Kai Li et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the carbon reduction changes of commercial building operations in China from 2001 to 2016, finding that provinces in northeast and north China led in reduction intensity and amount, while southwest provinces had the highest reduction-emission efficiency. The annual carbon reductions based on provincial units peaked at 167.35 MtCO(2) in 2013, with effective practices by local governments summarized for energy efficiency promotion in commercial building operations.

Modeling the potential impact of future lithium recycling on lithium demand in China: A dynamic SFA approach

Xueyi Guo et al.

Summary: A dynamic substance flow model of recyclable lithium resources in China from 2000 to 2030 was established to evaluate the impact on the lithium supply chain. The results show that by 2030, accumulated obsolete LIBs will reach 121 billion containing over 522 kilotons of recyclable lithium resources. Among the six products investigated, EVs have the largest sector and highest growth speed. The study suggests emphasizing domestically produced lithium as a compensation for the current high import dependence, and developing technology and equipment for lithium recycling and salt lake exploitation. Compliance with specific laws and regulations on lithium resource allocation and recycling, as well as applying lithium alternatives to non-battery products, is recommended.
