“…New energy has become the protagonist of the third energy transformation, and will lead the future of carbon neutrality. In [4][5][6][7], the authors suggest that developing low-carbon cities, optimizing industrial structure, reducing carbon emissions from steel industry, improving carbon emission reduction technology and reducing carbon sequestration cost are important measures for China to realize peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality ahead of schedule.…”

“…Secondly, considering that many scholars have studied the peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality in China from different fields, but there are few related studies on the use of delayed differential equations to describe this problem, and we try to establish a carbon absorption and emission model from the perspective of delayed differential equations to analyze the problem, and analyze this problem from different angles to see if we can get new results. Thirdly, this paper establishes a two-dimensional delayed differential equation model of carbon emission and carbon absorption, which is different from models models cited in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. We focus on analyzing the existence and stability of equilibrium point, and the existence of system bifurcation, and studying the long-term change process of carbon emission and carbon absorption.…”

“…We focus on analyzing the existence and stability of equilibrium point, and the existence of system bifurcation, and studying the long-term change process of carbon emission and carbon absorption. The models cited in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] include traditional Markov probability transfer matrix and spatial Markov probability transfer matrix, energy supply and demand model, generalized Weng's model, spatial Durbin model based on STIRPAT model, etc. The above models do not analyze the amount of carbon absorption, but the two-dimensional delayed differential equation proposed by us is not only related to carbon emission, but also to carbon absorption.…”

Global warming has brought about enormous damage, therefore, some scholars have begun to conduct in-depth research on peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality. In this paper, based on the background of China’s upgrading industrial structure and energy structure, we establish a delayed two-dimensional differential equation model associated with China’s adjustment of industrial structure. Firstly, we analyze the existence of the equilibrium for the model. We also analyze the characteristic roots of the characteristic equation at each equilibrium point for the model, then, we analyze the stability of the equilibrium point for the model according to the characteristic root, and discuss the existence of Hopf bifurcation of the system by using bifurcation theory. Secondly, we derive the normal form of Hopf bifurcation by using the multiple time scales method. Then, through the official real data, we present the range of some parameters in the model, and determine a set of parameters by reasonable analysis. The validity of the theoretical results is verified by numerical simulations. Finally, we use the real data to forecast the time of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutralization. Eventually, we put forward some suggestions based on the current situation of carbon emission and absorption in China, such as planting trees to increase the growth rate of carbon absorption, deepening industrial reform and optimizing energy structure to reduce carbon emissions.

“…China's low-carbon transition in essence is to accelerate improvement on energy and industrial structure, to increase energy efficiency and savings, ultimately to promote low-carbon consumption and production (Du, 2016). Carbon labeling scheme is an insightful policy tool that contains the concept of carbon footprint, which has become a significant indicator of sustainability, indicating as the total amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions generated by a product or service during the life cycle (Rondoni and Grasso, 2021).…”

Carbon labeling scheme as a quantitative measure on carbon emissions of product or service, can be applied to leading low carbon consumption and production, which is also a powerful tool to achieve carbon neutral. The policy brief reviews the progress of carbon labelling scheme to provide insight into its future perspectives on carbon neutrality in China. The results show that: ① China has not officially fostered as a carbon labeling system, but there is a pilot attempt to electric appliance; ② Publics’ perception towards carbon labeling scheme is in a lower level; ③ There is a room for improvement on the existing carbon labeling scheme, to improve its transparency and comparison.

“…Yet this transition cannot happen suddenly and roadmaps need to be established to achieve stepwise a decarbonized system [4,5]. For instance, some recommendations and studies have already been made for decarbonizing Europe [6,7], Canada [8] or and China [9,10].…”

Moving towards a low-carbon economy will imply a considerable increase in the deployment of green technologies, which will in turn increase the demand of certain raw materials. In this paper, the material requirements for 2050 scenarios are assessed in terms of exergy to analyze the impact in natural resources in each scenario and identify which technologies are going to demand more resources.Renewable energy technologies are more mineral intensive than current energy sources.Using the International Energy Agency scenarios, from 2025 to 2050, total raw material demand is going to increase by 30%, being the transport sector the one that experiences the highest increase. Aluminum, iron, copper and potassium are those elements that present a higher share of the material needs for green technologies. Besides, there are five elements that experience at least a six-fold increase in demand in that period: cobalt, lithium, magnesium, titanium and zinc. Comparing those results with Greenpeace's AE[R] scenario, which considers a 100% renewable supply by 2050, this increase is even higher. Therefore, avoiding the dependency on fossil fuels will imply to accept the dependency on raw materials.
