The Study on Community Energy Planning and Emission Reduction in China

Abstract:

Climate change is becoming a highlight of the world. As the world's second largest CO₂ emission country, China faces increasing pressure. Energy consumption and utilizing is the major source of CO₂ emissions. Optimization of the regional energy configuration can not only reduce energy consumption, but also reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, it will achieve energy conservation and sustainable development. Based on the Eco-city constructed by China and Sino-Singapore, this paper calculates the regional energy-saving under the requirement of existing Energy Conservation Code, plans its energy saving quantity by taking some measurements and then predicts the carbon dioxide emission reductions. The result shows that using effective measures to save energy can reduce 227772t carbon dioxide emissions. Using renewable energy and energy saving measures will reduce 371414t CO₂, which has a striking effect. So changing energy structure and using renew energy are main measures to reduce CO₂ emission.
