“…In this section, we discuss the technological, geological and economic factors. Li et al (2009) reports that China's 1623 large stationary CO 2 sources collectively emit over 3.9 GtCO 2 annually with the following sector breakdown: 629 fossil-fired power plants (72% of large, stationary CO 2 source emissions); 554 cement plants (14%); Over 80 potential coal-to-liquid projects have been announced in China in the last few years. But, in 2006, the Chinese government decided the sector was growing too quickly and announced a halt to new project approvals.…”

“…The spatial variation of CO 2 concentration distribution is important to understand the sink-source pattern for managing industry and forests. However, the spatial pattern of CO 2 in China is uncertain, and the spatial distribution and temporal variability of CO 2 sources and sinks from China have been of particular concern (Houghton and Hackler 2003, Li et al 2009). The present study aims to access the spatial distribution and temporal variability of CO 2 sources and sinks in China using SCIAMACHY satellite observations and emission inventories for 2003-2005.…”

This study aims to assess CO 2 levels in China, based on the dry air column-averaged mixing ratios of CO 2 measured by the Scanning Imaging Absorption spectrometer for Atmospheric CartograpHY (SCIAMACHY) instrument on board ENVISAT and emission inventories. A land cover and statistical data set, the Regional emission inventory in Asia (REAS), was also used in this study. The results show that the spatial variations of the CO 2 concentration in the whole of China are obvious, and with clear seasonal fluctuation during 2003-2005. The monthly averaged variability of CO 2 over China fluctuates, with the peak occurring in April to May and the trough occurring in August to October. The largest peak-to-trough amplitude was about 16 ppm in this period. The spatial and temporal variations of CO 2 had a strong correlation with anthropogenic CO 2 emissions and regional terrestrial ecosystem, as well as local meteorological conditions. This paper illustrates that satellite data are promising for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the variations of atmospheric CO 2 concentrations and of CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere.
