Exploring the influencing factors of urban residential electricity consumption in China

Peng Hao et al.

Summary: China has experienced a migration of 556 million people to urban areas in the past three decades, resulting in significant pressure on electricity consumption and urban sustainable development. This paper introduces the generalized Divisia Index Decomposition Method (GDIM) model to analyze the electricity consumption mechanism of urban residents in China from 2000 to 2018. The findings reveal that residential income, per capita electricity consumption, and residential appliances are the main drivers of urban residential electricity consumption growth, while energy-saving willingness and expenditure structure have an inhibiting effect. As urban residential income continues to expand, the growth of income and air conditioning usage will further drive urban residential electricity consumption. The paper concludes with suggestions to alleviate the pressure on electricity demand and promote sustainable development among urban residents in China.

Dynamic scenario simulations of phased carbon peaking in China's building sector through 2030-2050

Qingwei Shi et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore the different drivers of carbon emission reduction in the provincial building sector in China and simulate the future trajectory of carbon emissions. The study found that fixed-asset investment and output in the building sector are the main drivers of carbon emission growth at both national and provincial levels. The study also highlighted the importance of carbon-intensity investment and output in driving carbon emission growth. The findings suggest that achieving the 2030 carbon peak target in the building sector may be challenging, but efficiency-oriented and technological advances can help make it more attainable. Regional contexts should be considered when formulating peaking targets and emission-reduction policies for each provincial building sector.

Decomposition, decoupling, and future trends of environmental effects in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region: A regional heterogeneity-based analysis

Xiaoling Wang et al.

Summary: The green growth of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration has a leading and exemplary role in overcoming resource restrictions, addressing climate change, and supporting high-quality growth in China. This paper evaluates the environmental impact and decomposes the drivers using the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) model and a decoupling effort index. The results show that Beijing has the lowest environmental impact index, while Tianjin and Hebei are primarily influenced by environmental regulation and energy intensity, respectively. Strong decoupling efforts are found in all regions, with Beijing being the most significant. According to the forecast, the BTH area will maintain a strong decoupling effort, with Beijing having the highest index and Hebei the lowest.

Unfolding the painting scroll of energy intensity changes in Chinese mainland (1990-2019): A regional perspective

Xiangdong Sun et al.

Summary: Improving energy efficiency is essential for China's sustainable development and carbon dioxide reduction, but there is a lack of systematic analysis on China's long-term energy intensity changes. China's energy intensity decreased by 74.7% from 1990 to 2019 with regional variations, but increased by 7% from 2001 to 2005. This study combines decomposition approach and econometric analysis to reveal the changes in energy intensity in Chinese mainland (1990-2019) from a regional perspective.

Towards green recovery: Platform economy and its impact on carbon emissions in China

Jianda Wang et al.

Summary: China's economy and environment are in urgent need of a green recovery, and the platform economy offers a practical solution. Using the Generalized Divisia Index Method (GDIM), this study examines the impact of the platform economy on China's carbon emissions from 2013 to 2020. Overall, the platform economy has increased carbon emissions, but there was a decrease between 2014 and 2016. The scale factors of the platform economy contribute to the overall increase in carbon emissions, while the carbon intensity factors contribute to the decrease. The study also identifies differences in emissions factors among different groups during the pandemic.

P. Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the driving forces behind energy intensity changes in Chinese cities using production-theoretical decomposition analysis. The results suggest that technological change and capital-energy substitutions are the main factors contributing to the decrease in energy intensity, while technical efficiency has a moderate impact on the increase in energy intensity. Different cities show significant variations in energy intensity changes, with double and triple drivers prevalent. The study further categorizes cities based on differences in energy intensity and energy efficiency changes, revealing key measures to reduce energy intensity and potential misjudgment by policymakers regarding energy efficiency performance.

Summary: The study established Aggregate Energy Intensity (AEI) as a measure of global sustainable energy resource utilization. Results showed a 9% decline in global AEI from 2000 to 2014. Most regions experienced a decline in AEI, while a few saw an increase due to higher AEI and consumption proportion in carbon-intensive sectors. Critical factors for increased AEI in certain sectors were domestic energy intensity and import share.

Summary: The study found that the increase in PM2.5 emissions is mainly due to the output scale effect and energy use effect, while the emission intensity effect and emission coefficient effect primarily contribute to decreasing PM2.5 emissions. China and its three economic regions shifted from strong decoupling in 1998-2000 to weak decoupling in 2000-2010, and then back to strong decoupling from 2010-2014. The technical effect plays a key role in promoting decoupling, but its contribution is decreasing over time.
