Optimizing carbon emission forecast for modelling China?s 2030 provincial carbon emission quota allocation

Xing Zhou et al.

Summary: The rational allocation of carbon quotas is crucial for the smooth operation of carbon markets. This study aims to optimize China's 2030 provincial carbon quota allocation scheme by incorporating terrestrial carbon sinks into the mechanism. Using the AO-based TWSVR model, the study successfully predicted China's net carbon emissions from 2021 to 2035. Furthermore, through social network analysis, it was found that an equity-based carbon quota allocation scheme is more suitable for China's national conditions compared to efficiency-based or combined principle-based schemes.

Factors influencing embodied carbon emissions of China's building sector: An analysis based on extended STIRPAT modeling

Chen Zhu et al.

Summary: This study examines the influencing factors of embodied carbon emissions (EC) in China's building sector and provides guidance for the country's greenhouse gas mitigation strategy. The results show that building construction area and indirect emission intensity have the greatest impact on EC and indirect EC, while total factor productivity and energy intensity also play important roles. Additionally, technical factors have both positive and negative effects, and rebound effects exist in the building construction sector. Therefore, controlling building scale, reducing building material supplyside emission, improving technology, and preventing rebound are key to alleviating building EC.

Characterizing regional building energy consumption under joint climatic and socioeconomic impacts

Haiyan Duan et al.

Summary: This study tracks and analyzes the building energy consumption in 24 provincial regions of China, revealing the influence of climatic and socioeconomic conditions on energy consumption. The results show that energy consumption is high in the material preparation and operation stages of the building process, and climatic and socioeconomic conditions have a decisive impact on these differences. The findings of this research can provide more relevant considerations for the formulation of regional building energy conservation policies.

Summary: The green loans program is seen as an effective measure for reducing energy consumption in old buildings. This study examines the impact of political factors, such as loan support and carbon taxation, on the strategic choices of the government and building owners. The results show that higher supporting interest rates and carbon tax rates are more likely to lead to positive strategies, and implementing a maximum supporting interest rate of 4.45% can significantly increase greenhouse gas emission reduction.

Gravity center change of carbon emissions in Chinese residential building sector: Differences between urban and rural area

Jiebing Wang et al.

Summary: This study explores the spatio-temporal evolution and urban-rural gap in carbon emissions of the residential building sector in China. It utilizes the gravity center model to analyze the movement of carbon emissions gravity center and identifies the driving factors behind the differences between urban and rural residential buildings. The results show that the carbon emissions gravity center of both residential building types tends to move south, with the northeast and northwest regions playing significant roles in driving the gravity center movement of urban and rural residential buildings, respectively. Per capita disposable income is identified as the primary factor affecting the gravity center movement. Additionally, the study suggests a potential westward movement of the gravity center in the future. Overall, this research fills a gap in understanding the spatial-temporal evolution of carbon emissions in the Chinese residential building sector and provides insights for targeted emission reduction policies in urban and rural areas.

Summary: The paper estimated building stocks and building embodied carbon emissions in China's 31 provinces from 1997 to 2016 using material flow analysis. The results showed a significant increase in total emissions, with noticeable differences in growth rates between provinces and a spatial inclination of emissions decreasing from eastern coastal regions to western inland regions. The spatial agglomeration patterns were found to be complex and variable, with different driving forces identified for the increase and decrease in emissions.
