“…This can be attributed to the fuel conservation which may be obtained based on coal-fired cogeneration units [6]. In fact it seems to make sense, because coal has always been the dominant primary fuel in the Chinese power sector [7,8]. Under this condition, heating water is generally treated as an energy carrier for space heating purposes by Chinese policy makers, so that large scale heat-metering and remote control are carried out for energy conservation [9,10].…”

Abstract:In Northern China, due to the high penetration of coal-fired cogeneration facilities, which are generally equipped with extraction-condensing steam turbines, lots of wind power resources may be wasted during the heating season. In contrast, considerable coal is consumed in the power generation sector. In this article, firstly it is revealed that there exists a serious divergence in the ratio of electrical to thermal energy between end users' demand and the cogenerations' production during off-peak load at night, which may negate active power-balancing of the electric power grid. Secondly, with respect to this divergence only occurring during off-peak load at night, a temporary proposal is given so as to enable the integration of more wind power. The authors suggest that if the energy carrier for part of the end users' space heating is switched from heating water to electricity (e.g., electric heat pumps (EHPs) can provide space heating in the domestic sector), the ratio of electricity to heating water load should be adjusted to optimize the power dispatch between cogeneration units and wind turbines, resulting in fuel conservation. With this proposal, existing infrastructures are made full use of, and no additional ones are required. Finally a numerical simulation is performed in order to illustrate both the technical and economic feasibility of the aforementioned proposal, under ongoing infrastructures as well as electricity and space heating tariff conditions without changing participants' benefits. The authors aim to persuade Chinese policy makers to enable EHPs to provide space heating to enable the integration of more wind power. OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2012, 5 3280

“…One of the most frequent and consistent suggestions from experts and scholars is to adopt a sectoral crediting mechanism. Instead of using a project-based format which creates inconsistency, a sectoral approach should enable the host countries to have a better idea of the overall emission trend for the whole sector rather than the single projects (Greiner and Michaelowa 2003, Ellis et al 2007, Muller 2007, Alexeew et al 2010b, Partridge and Gamkhar 2010, Mills and Jacobson 2011, Erickson et al 2014, Purdon 2015. It is thought that policy approaches available to governments could enable them more effectively to reduce emissions across sectors.…”

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has been the major international offset mechanism within the broader world of carbon finance. It was designed with two goals in mind: to lead to significant emission reductions that will help reduce the cost of climate mitigation in countries with commitments as well as contribute to sustainable development in the host countries. However, there has been significant discussion about the degree to which these projects fulfilled their dual mission of emissions reductions and sustainable development, particularly with respect to fostering local community co-benefits as part of broader sustainable development outcomes. In this paper, we review literature on the co-benefits delivered by the CDM at the local or community level, based on a group of 84 peer-reviewed articles and other reports. While perspectives on co-benefits are diverse, most sources argue or acknowledge that even with more recent procedural improvements, the CDM has not consistently delivered significant co-benefits to local communities. It appears likely that the situation has improved somewhat in recent years as CDM procedures have been refined, and there may be more opportunities for enhancing procedures to favor such benefits. There is overall variability in delivering co-benefits depending on the technology type, design features and the country context.

“…Now numbering 45,000, they make an essential contribution with a generating (Sheng Zhou 2009). Based on a survey of 460 registered CDM projects, it has been concluded that many small hydropower stations would have been viable without the CDM subsidy (Partridge & Shama 2010). The NGO International Rivers has objected against giving CDM approval to 500 MW Caojie (which will be completed in 2012) and some other large and medium hydropower stations submitted by China, because it holds there was no additionality and the project documents were silent about inadequate land compensation given to farmers.…”
