“…The use of default emission factors would cause substantial uncertainty as long as the fuel qualities vary considerably across from the default value (Konstantinaviciute and Bobinaite, 2015). Previous studies of Chinese cement industry have estimated the coal-related CO 2 emission by various default emission factors (Table 7).…”

a b s t r a c t CO 2 emission estimation of cement production is an underlying tool to identify the CO 2 sources, to evaluate the reduction efforts and to set prospective reduction targets for the Chinese cement industry. However, lack of domestic data has limited the reliability and accuracy of CO 2 emission estimation for Chinese cement industry. To develop an accurate and comprehensive CO 2 emission factor for Chinese cement industry, this study established a factory-level database of 197 cement production lines from 21 provinces covering various capacity scales. On the basis of this database, process, fuel, electricity and synthesized emission factor were computed. Furthermore, bootstrap simulation and Monte Carlo simulation were applied to evaluate the uncertainty of these factors. After corrections for cement kiln dust (CKD), incomplete decomposition, organic carbon and inorganic carbon, the medians of process, fuel and direct emission factors are 525, 369, and 919 kg CO 2 /t clinker, respectively. Electricity emission factor is 74.9 kg CO 2 /t clinker. The final synthesized emission factor for cement product is 761 kg CO 2 /t cement with uncertainties of [À34.8%, þ31.69%]. In this study, two revised calculation methods for the process emission factor are applied. Two calculation methods for the fuel emission factor are adopted as well. These practices seek to improve the reliability and accuracy of cement CO 2 emission factor. The simulated results indicate that the revised output method produces more accurate estimation for the process emission factor than the revised input method and unrevised output method. For fuel emission factor, the CC (carbon content) method is more accurate than the NCV (net calorific value) method. Simulated results are also compared with other authoritative estimation to validate the reliability of the CO 2 emission factors calculated in the present study.

“…Gross Domestic Product per Capita GDP per capita is a standard indicator to measure economic growth. Despite many controversies, it is still deemed necessary for assessing economic prosperity and citizens' well-being (Lambiri et al, 2007;Konstantinaviciute and Bobinaite, 2015). GDP per capita is considered a benefit-type indicator.…”

Energy and environmental concepts have been extensively studied in the past. However, these studies often lacked integrated analysis of energy, monetary, public, and ecological aspects to assess energy and environmental issues. This article provides analyzation of the G7 nations’ qualitative, social, cultural, and health achievement in the energy poverty indexes. These include the energy economics and climate change of energy poverty, by using DEA like a composite indicator. The G7 countries’ combined energy consumption is equal to 34% of the world’s total, whereas the GDP is 50% of the global total. As a result, this article develops a comprehensive series of energy, financial, societal, and environmental indicators that are up to date. Such indicators are utilized to assess energy financial, societal, and EPI using a mathematical composite indicator. Canada has the greatest EPII score, indicating that it can deal better than the other G7 countries with energy independence, productivity expansion, and social impact, and France’s and Italy’s the second tier. While Japan has a 0.50 EPI grade and the United States will have the lowest, the G7 countries are growing faster. Finally, we propose a policy framework for enhancing the research area. The energy, societal, and EPI were created by combining these elements. In terms of energy independence, economic growth, and sustainability practices, Canada beats the other G7 countries according to the data. France and Italy are in the 2nd and 3rd places, respectively. Despite having a higher level of economic development than the G7 countries, Japan has a 0.50 Environmental Performance Index rating, whereas the United States has a minimum average Environmental Performance Index rating. Finally, in order to improve the study’s subject, we propose a policy framework.
