Study on the Low Carbon City of Guangzhou by Energy Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

As city accounts for more than half of the world population and consumed 75% of the energy, it emitted around 70% of the global GHGs. So it is essential to consider low carbon development at urban level from a long term perspective. This study aims to how to account the current carbon emission and predict future emission at city level by use of Energy model. The model projects consistent and quantitative socio-economic variables, energy demand, GHG emission and diffusion of mitigation options in order to achieve an emission target or assess the potential of emission reduction by various counter measures. The analysis results could be recommended to the policy makers.
