Low Carbon Technology Assessment and Planning

Abstract:

This paper aims to analyze the planning method of low carbon technologies. It is a follow up to our previous analysis of sustainability assessment of low carbon strategies concerning economic, environmental and social terms. Construction sector in Chongming Island, Shanghai is analyzed as a case study. Eleven main building energy saving technologies are evaluated, and CO₂ emission reduction amount and required building areas in 2030 in Chongming Island are set by using Decoupling Theory and Goal Programming method. The minimum emission reduction cost is found as 7.87×10⁸ RMB under low carbon scenario and 9.52×10⁸ RMB under ideal scenario. Planning analysis result also show that the low carbon scenario is possible to meet as the required building area is around 20% of the estimated building area in 2030. The ideal scenario will require more intensive energy saving technology application as the building area requirement is found around 40%.
