Using 2021 field survey data and ordinary least squares regression, this study analyzes household energy consumption in Xining, a plateau city critical to China's ecological security. It finds households are a major contributor to energy-re…

Shao Zhenghan

This paper measures carbon risk using E ratings of Chinese A-share firms from 2009 to 2020, and demonstrates a reversal in the sign of the carbon premium during 2015-2016. Using simulated portfolios and firm-characteristic regressions, it f…

Xu Tianhao

This paper proposes an irreversibility evaluation method for cross-seasonal heat storage systems and analyzes the cold-hot mixing phenomenon in thermal storage reservoirs. It addresses the mismatch between supply and demand of zero-carbon t…

Wang Zhiqiang

This study examines Xinjiang's water-energy-carbon coupled system using environmental input-output and ecological network analysis on 2007/2012/2017 input-output tables. It quantifies linkage effects and ecological pressure transmission amo…

This paper analyzes the contribution of electric vehicles (EVs) to China's energy security and its dual carbon goals (carbon peak and carbon neutrality). Against a complex international backdrop, it argues that while energy security underpi…

Gu Baihe^1,2^ Yu Donghui^1,2^ Wang Can^3^ Wang Yi^1,2*^

This paper studies strategy and policy decisions for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in China. It proposes a systematic roadmap for the dual-carbon transformation integrating objectives, technology, capital, and policy. It id…

Wei Yigang, Shi Jiawei, Xu Guannan

This study analyzes 1,743 low-carbon policies issued in China from 2000 to 2021 using text mining and policy econometrics within a framework of 'policy objectives—policy themes—policy fluctuations.' It systematically reviews the development…

Fu Wei, Gong Haixiu, Chen Jiancheng

This study calculates indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in China and applies social network analysis to examine the spatial correlation network structure, identifying clustering patterns and interregional linkages from 20…

Lü Ning, Mandarin, Peng Qin +5

This study assesses carbon emissions, absorption, and net sinks from cropland use in Xinjiang from 1991 to 2021, analyzing spatiotemporal dynamics and contributing factors. The findings reveal regional carbon sequestration potentials, offer…
