A Study of the Potential of CO₂ Emission Reduction in China's Construction with Scenario Analysis

Abstract:

The potential of CO₂ emission reduction expected in the next 10 years of China's construction was studied with the the method of scenario analysis. The results showed that a total of 11.008 billion tons of CO₂ would be reduced in chinas construction in the period of 2011-2020 and the contribution of CO₂ emission reduction in China's construction to the potential target of CO₂ emission reduction would be 48.07%.
