the country had successfully decreased its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by an impressive 36.7 percent, compared to the levels recorded in 2012. The proportion of non-fossil energy consumption reached 17.5 percent, an increase
The low-carbon power transition, which is key to combatting climate change, has far-reaching effects on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in terms of issues such as resource use, environmental emissions, employment, and many more. Here, we assess the potential impacts of the pow...
Finally, when applying the aforementioned low-carbon fuels to ship greenpower systems, although it can achieve a certain level of carbon reduction for ships, this is solely considered from the perspective of ship applications. Constrained by factors such as production and transportation costs, currentl...
replacement of up to 40 wt% cement in concrete mixtures. Therefore, a substantial reduction in carbon emissions could be achieved by reducing cement consumption. However, the feasible replacement level of these types of SCMs highly depends on the availability of agricultural wastes in different ...
1), is characterized by the appropriate level of pedogenesis. The detrital carbonates are mostly absent in paleosol samples, whereas authigenic carbonates are still preserved (Supplementary Fig. 2). Before sampling, we trenched the soil profile (>1 m deep) to avoid contamination of regolith, ...
To our knowledge, studies on multiple pathways to a low carbon economy is absent at the country level. Therefore, this paper summarizes multiple pathways to a low carbon economy since 2000 to show how the low carbon economy has developed in China. China has become one of the largest emitters...
First, to empirically examine the effect of China’s ETS on LEE by treating the enablement time of carbon trading market as a quasi-natural experiment based on prefecture-level cities.Footnote 9 Second, to perform the spatial and non-spatial models to validate the potential spatial spillover ...
level. For instance, by implementing carbon emissions reduction measures, a maximum reduction of merely 2.40 × 108tons of carbon emissions can be achieved across various scenarios (refer to Table1). However, in the case of industrial restructuring, it becomes possible to prevent a minimum of ...
The level of calcite saturation decreases in cold deep water. Because the solubility of calcite increases with increasing seawater depth/pressure, the concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon is elevated relative to total alkalinity levels in the deep ocean41. Oxygen consumption due to biological ...
(~15 gigatons CO2e) of global GHG emissions.36Coal and natural gas are the two largest sources of electricity generation, accounting for roughly 60% of the total power produced.37Nearly all of the remainder comes from low-carbon sources, a mix of renewables (largely wind, solar, and ...
