Abstract

With its recent rapid economic growth, China has become one of the foremost countries in terms of energy consumption and CO 2 emission. The extent of future CO 2 emission in China and how to reduce it are important issues. This paper presents the forecast results of CO 2 emission studies for several cases and assesses the various policy options by using the AIM/end-use model and analyzing CO 2 reduction costs for various sectors. The results shrued that CO 2 emission will increase with the rapid economic development in China, but it is possible to slow down the CO 2 emission growth rate by using technological progress, efficient markets, and by adopting policies for CO 2 reduction.
