Popis: In order to increase the ability of tackling with climate change, China has put many efforts on restructuring industrial sectors, improving energy efficiency and developing new and renewable energy resources. This study provides a critical assessment of various factors on reducing CO2 emissions with the method of scenario analysis. The results show industrial restructuring has marginal effect on CO2 emissions compared with improving energy efficiency and adjusting energy structure. To achieve the projected target on CO2 emissions reduction, a combination of optimized industrial structure and energy structure as well as improved energy efficiency is the proper scenario for China. The findings provide a useful reference for policy-makers to develop energy policies.
