『Abstract
China is the largest energy consumer and CO2
emitter in the world. The Chinese environment faces growing challenges
of ensuring energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
To address these two issues, the Chinese government has announced
two ambitious domestic indicative autonomous mitigation targets
for 2020: increasing the ratio of non-fossil energy to 15% and
reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40-45% from
2005 levels. To explore the role of non-fossil energy in achieving
these two targets, this paper first provides an overview of current
status of non-fossil energy development in china; then gives a
brief review of GDP and primary energy consumption; next assesses
in detail the role of the non-fossil energy in 2020, including
the installed capacity and electricity generation of non-fossil
energy sources, the share and role of non-fossil energy in the
electricity structure, emissions reduction resulting from the
shift to non-fossil energy, and challenges for accomplishing the
mitigation targets in 2020; finally, conclusions and policy measures
for non-fossil energy development are proposed.
