Abstract: This paper uses Chinas statistical data by industry and by region in 1995-2010 to calculate the carbon emission caused by the fossil fuel consumption. The total amount of carbon emission in 2010 was about 1.9 billion tons and it shows an increase of 150% compared with that in 1995, which shows a rapid increase year by year.The differentiation of carbon emission by industry is significant, while the manufacturing and transportation are the major emitting sectors. The differentiation of carbon emissions by region is significant as well, while the developed region and resource-rich region are the high emission regions. Some areas like Inner Mongolia have a very high speed growth.

Abstract: Electricity is a pre-requisite for technological progress and economy growth. Thailand has been facing an electric energy crisis in inadequate electricity generation capacity compared with the demand. It is essential to replace the conventional energy (e.g. fossil fuels) with renewable energy resources, particularly biomass that can play a major role to meet the electricity demand. A modified deming PDCA management has been proposed for power generation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the future electricity consumption as well as to explore the current state of renewable energy potential in Nakhonratchasima Province, Thailand. The results show an electricity energy potential of from agricultural residues, livestock manure and solar energy resources. It is indicated that each these resources can supply the electricity demand excesses. The selection of renewable power generation is mainly driven by the installation cost and the availability of renewable energy resources. The power plant from livestock manures resources is found to be the most promising because its power plant installation requires lower investment in this study.

Abstract: Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis was used to analyze the evolvement of spatia1 pattern on coal consumption in China since 2002. General spatial autocorrelation of coal consumption in 31 provinces of China was analyzed by Morans I and Getis-Ord General G. Getis-0rd Gi* was used to test the local spatial dependence, identifying the spatial distribution of hot spots and cold spots. The results show that coal consumption per capita of 31 provinces in China exhibits an enhanced trend of spatial autocorrelation. The areas with similar level of coal consumption are clustered in space. The coal consumption activity can be affected by the neighborhoods and their own regions. Hotspot areas are mainly concentrated in North and Northeast China and continuously increase with time, coldspot areas are mainly concentrated in South China and constantly decrease by time. So government needs to consider the spatial interaction mechanism of coal consumption when establishing the energy management policy.

Abstract: Regional energy efficiency evaluation stands for the analysis of regional energy efficiency whose aim is to figure out the low– and high– efficient parts in energy consumption, providing most economic suggestions to improve energy efficiency. Based on the energy balance sheet, this paper decomposed the energy efficiency of one entire region into different sub-regional values and then got the energy efficiency index of each sub-region through standardized treatment. Further, the overall energy efficiency index was calculated out through weighting to lay the foundation of energy efficiency analysis and energy saving potential evaluation. Besides, this paper analyzed and compared the 2010 and 2006 energy efficiency data of China (including 30 provincial-level administrative regions) with a result that the evaluation index system of regional energy efficiency could satisfy the energy saving and managing demands, like location and analysis of regional energy efficiency level .

Abstract: The operational efficiency of power market is infected by the primary conditions of the market, the regulations of government, the balance of need and supply, the behaviors of participants etc. Owing to the characteristics of dynamic complexity, the evaluation for the operational efficiency of the market should develop a new way rather than the traditional way. Based on the synergetic theory, this paper established a synergetic evolution state equation model of the operational efficiency of power market combining with grey cognate principle. According to the data of the Southern power market of China, the order parameter was conformed and the order parameter evolution equation which reflects the operational situation of the market was constructed. Through this equation, the boundary value of the order parameter which implies the market is in effective was given.

Abstract: Energy supply chain management is a new management concept in the field of energy management, while profit distribution is considered as the key issue present in the various entities of the energy supply chain. In this paper, a Stackelberg-type manufacturer-vendor-consumer profit distribution game model was constructed. Furthermore, by adopting income-sharing contract as the instrument to measure profit distribution, the profit distribution equilibrium between energy-distributor-dominant and the energy generation-dominant supply chains were studied in this paper. By doing so, a theoretical conclusion was drafted that the dominant enterprises in the sector gained access to more profit through the biased policy privilege that granted to them for many years; and the income distribution factors of these dominant enterprise ensured a maximized profit for the entire energy supply chain. Finally, the correctness of the concluded result was verified through calculations on the numerical examples.

Abstract: Energy is an important strategic material basis for supporting the social development and the national economy, China has proposed the "12th Five-Year Plan" stressed the scientific concept of development must be implemented conscientiously, to build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. How to choose a suitable energy development strategy for Hebei Province as a major agricultural province in China has important research value. This paper discusses the energy structure constraints on economic development and China's research trend of new energy,based on the prediction of energy consumption elasticity coefficient in Hebei Province and the analysis of comprehensive benefits of new energy, constructed the development system of new energy of Hebei Province in the regional economy, circular economy ,industrial chain and integrated perspective respectively, identifying the problems and breakthrough path for the implementation of new energy strategy in Hebei Province.

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation of the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the energy sector by energy supply in Khon Kaen province, Thailand. Studied areas are classified into 3 categories, which are city centre metropolitan, rural village and academic campus. The studied areas are Khon Kaen metropolitan, Nonthong village and Khon Kaen University (KKU), respectively. The GHG inventories of these areas are calculated and compared. GHG emissions are calculated by type of energy supply, which are electricity, petrol, LPG and CNG. We have found that 77 percent of GHG emissions in Khon Kaen metropolitan come from electricity consumption. In contrast, 59 percent of GHG emissions in Nonthong village come from the use of petrol. However, there is only a slight difference between the GHG emission contributions from two major sources of greenhouse gases in Khon Kaen University, where electricity use and petrol use contribute 50 and 42 percent, respectively. Finally, An insight into different characteristics of areas would help regulators to design suitable GHG reduction measures for each community. Some suggestions for GHG reduction measures were made.

Abstract: Due to some drawbacks of the Divisia inedex and its relevant decomposition methods, such as difficult affording accurate estimations in period-wise and cross-region decompositions with large discrete change data and involving logarithmic calculations. This paper introduces a new decomposition index based on Laspeyres index (LI), leaving no unexplained residuals. It distributes interactive term among related factors according to different contribution rates of each factor which are related to the changes of these factors. An empirical illustration, decomposing changes in CO₂ emissions in China from 1996 to 2011 by both the proposed method (WLI) and Sun's Laspeyres index (SLI) methods time-series and period-wise methods, is carried out.

Abstract: Different perspectives play an important role in framing Chinas climate policy. The model we have introduced is designed to access the influence of different perspectives on the allocation of carbon emission rights. Base on the model, China is divided into eight regions, and allocation of the budget to regions is computed based on a weighted mix of indicators such as population size and GDP. The result shows that the parameter values of the model are regarded as being related to specific perspectives. When base year, principle weight or discount changed, each region exhibits different characteristics under different scenarios.
