Abstract: |
Background, aim, and scope Climate change and global warming, which is caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, is a serious threat to ecological security, food security and water security, and is a major global challenge today. As the world’s largest economy, China has become the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide since 2005. The carbon emissions from China accounted for about 30 percent of the world’s total emissions in 2014. In September 2020, China announced its goal to have carbon dioxide emissions peak by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, in order to address the climate change and global warming. Research on carbon emissions is fundamental and could provide important information in taking actions to achieve the goal. We therefore review the studies of carbon emissions in China in recent years. Materials and methods In this paper, we summarize the literature from the following aspects: (1) the main calculation methods of carbon emissions, the current situation and challenges of carbon emissions calculation in China; (2) the analytical methods of influence factors of carbon emissions, and the research status and deficiencies of carbon emissions influence factors in China; (3) the research progress and main shortcomings of carbon emissions from industry, agriculture, transportation and residents consumption field in China; (4) suggestions of the main carbon mitigation paths based on the research status of carbon emissions in China. Results At present, systematic calculation methods, and analytical methods of influence factors in the field of carbon emissions have been formed. China has made great progress in research on carbon emissions calculation, influence factors analysis, and carbon mitigation paths, especially in the industry, agriculture, transportation, and resident consumption fields, but it still has a few challenges and problems to be resolved. Discussion (1) Carbon emissions calculation has formed a system with emission factor method as the mainstream method, and carbon mass balance method, model estimation method, actual measurement method and carbon satellite remote sensing monitoring method as auxiliary methods; national carbon emissions accounting has been carried out in an orderly manner, but due to the statistical deviation and lack of statistical data over the years, carbon emissions accounting results are not authoritative; guidelines for industrial carbon emissions accounting has been issued, but they have not been effectively carried out. (2) The analytical methods of influence factors of carbon emissions include factor decomposition analysis, decoupling relationship analysis and econometric model analysis. The research perspective focuses on the national (provincial and municipal), regional, and industry levels. Economic development, population growth, industrial structure, energy structure, and technological level are considered to be the main influencing factors of carbon emissions. However, there is still lacking systematic analysis of the impact of complex factors such as historical development, climate change, geographical location and population aging, and also lacking long-time series analysis on the influence factor of carbon emissions. (3) Scientists have conducted a lot of research and discussion on carbon emissions calculation, influence factors analysis and carbon mitigation paths of industry, agriculture, transportation and residents’ consumption field. Among them, more research is on industry and transportation, and less is on agriculture and residents’ consumption field. The bottleneck in carbon emissions calculation is caused by the inconsistency of emission factors. Computational boundary and emission source is still the dilemma of industrial carbon emissions research. Conclusions China has made big progress in research of carbon emissions in recent years, which has laid a foundation to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, despite there are some limitations in the research. Recommendations and perspectives At this stage, standardized and refined carbon emissions calculation system should be established. Also, carbon emissions from industry should be reduced to a greater extent. Lastly, the carbon mitigation path should be practiced, which is based on “consummate policy and standard, reinforce government support, implement carbon emission trading and levy carbon tax, upgrade industrial structure and adjust energy structure, develop low-carbon and new energy technologies, explore CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) technology and increase carbon sink, guide and cultivate residents’ low-carbon consumption tendency”. |
