“…An example is the electric car policy (cf. Wan, Sperling, & Wang, 2015). In any case one should keep in mind that most probably the fact that the pilot markets have carried out different allocation methods was not part of a very detailed top-down test strategy by the NDRC.…”

One of the key elements influencing the performance of a carbon trading system, are the methods of allocating the initial CO 2 emissions. This paper tries to use a quantitative description method to analyze the influence of the different allocation methods on the level of CO 2 emissions based on the seven pilot trading markets from 2009 to 2013 in China. The results show that different methods bring about various degrees of impacts, through direct and indirect constraint mechanism, influence the CO 2 emission cut finally. Although due to the complexity of the direct and indirect constraint mechanism, attempting to compare the effects of different allocation methods is difficult by using the data of carbon emission cut from seven pilot markets in China, the paper shows that the allowance allocation methods, through the constraints imposed on enterprises, significantly reduce regional carbon emissions.Keywords: allowance allocation, carbon trading system, CO 2 emission, China pilot markets IntroductionChina, as the largest developing country, has been committed to environmental governance and pollution reduction, and has approved seven pilot markets to establish a carbon trading system to cut carbon emissions. Seven pilot markets were officially launched and operated in 2013 and 2014 and continue to operate. Based on the study on the pilot markets, this paper investigates the influence of different allowance allocations on the CO 2 emission cut. The purpose of this study is to explore the differences among allowance allocation methods in order to contribute to possibly implementing better model or methods mixes for the distribution of initial allowances for the coming national emission trading system (ETS). For the upcoming establishment of a unified national carbon market, this research can serve to provide as a reference. The structure of this paper is as follows: the first part is the literature review; the second part introduces the different carbon quota allocation Acknowledgements:

“…Since China has become one of the largest automobile markets, more research in terms of automobile markets and the influencing factors should be conducted for a better understanding of urban and regional changes. However, most existing research on automobile purchasing in China [7][8][9][10][11] focused on the overall characteristics or prediction of sales of automobiles (or a particular type of car, such as green cars). Only limited research concerning the spatial distribution of overall automobile sales across Chinese cities, especially the spatial pattern of automobile markets composed of different automobile manufacturers, has been published due to the lack of relevant data [12].Regarding car sales, it is important to study the factors affecting car ownership and purchase preferences.…”

Abstract:It is important to understand urban auto markets from a spatial perspective. Specifically, the question of how to simplify and visualize the relatedness of the complicated urban markets arises. Based on the concept of 'product space', this research explores the similarity between Chinese cities and identifies the city clusters using data of automobile sales in 2012. A city's automobile market is shared by different manufacturers and the proximity between two cities is evaluated based on the similarity or relatedness in the structure of the two markets. The spatial structures of the 'city clusters' derived from the proximities of automobile markets among cities are mapped, examined, and interpreted. The analysis indicates that cities with higher proximity tend to be similar. According to the intercity proximity index, four geographical city-clusters are identified: the Southeast developed city-cluster, North China city-cluster, Northeast city-cluster, and West city-cluster. Cities in the same cluster tend to share many common characteristics while cities in different clusters exhibit obvious variances, especially in terms of economic status and dominant automakers.

China’s Energy Transition in the Power and Transport Sectors from a Substitution Perspective

et al. 2017

Abstract:Facing heavy air pollution, China needs to transition to a clean and sustainable energy system, especially in the power and transport sectors, which contribute the highest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The core of an energy transition is energy substitution and energy technology improvement. In this paper, we forecast the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for power generation in 2030 in China. Cost-emission effectiveness of the substitution between new energy vehicles and conventional vehicles is also calculated in this study. The results indicate that solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power will be cost comparative in the future. New energy vehicles are more expensive than conventional vehicles due to their higher manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP). The cost-emission effectiveness of the substitution between new energy vehicles and conventional vehicles would be $96.7/ton or $114.8/ton. Gasoline prices, taxes, and vehicle insurance will be good directions for policy implementation after the ending of subsidies.
