『Abstract
Facing multiple pressures, including its commitment to energy
efficiency improvement, he current worldwide recession, and global
warming concerns, China is making great efforts to maintain its
continuous economic growth and reduce pollutant emissions. Many
policies to encourage investing in energy efficiency and renewable
energy have been issued. This article provides insights into the
latest development of energy production, energy consumption and
energy strategic planning and policies in China, and also describes
the analysis, carried out by the authors as part of the Asian
Energy Security project using the Long-range Energy Alternatives
Planning (LEAP) modeling tool, of the impacts of implementing
new and expected energy and environmental policies.
