Recently, energy saving and emission reduction get more attention in the world, electric power industry is one of the major sectors of energy consumption. The national government has issued a series of related policies and regulations to change the power structure and control pollutant emissions, in order to improve the level of energy conservation and emission reduction. Some problems exist in the current policies and regulations. This paper puts forward measures and suggestions to strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction.

Electric Power Sector

The Chinese electric power industry, including its coal industry and other energy industries that are not efficient, contributes to China’s serious energy shortages and environmental contamination. The governing authority considers energy conservation to be one of the most prominent national targets, and has formulated various plans for decarbonizing the power system. Applying the trans-log cost function, this paper examined the trans-log cost function to analyze the potential inter-factor substitution among energy, capital and labor. We also investigated what role human capital played in energy substitution for the electric power sector during the period from 1981 to 2017. Three key results were derived: (1) energy is price-insensitive, (2) there exists large substitution sustainability between both capital and labor with energy, and (3) human capital input not only enhances the extent of energy substitutability with capital and labor but also is a substitute to energy itself. These findings imply that the liberalization of the electric price mechanism is conducive to lessening energy use and augmenting non-energy intensiveness, and that energy conservation technology could become more sustainable by investing more capital in the electricity sector, thereby achieving a capital–energy substitution and a decrease of CO2 emissions. We further suggest that the priority for the Chinese electric power industry should be to attach more importance to increasing human capital input.

This paper predicts and analyzes the output, energy consumption and CO2emission in Chongqing’s electric power industry in 16 years to come using a dynamics simulation system of carbon emission. A comparison with historical data indicates a desirable goodness of fit of the simulated results, which show that the power generation in Chongqing will reach the peak of about 180 billion KWH in 2020 and 378 billion KWH in 2030, followed by a steady rise in the following 15 years; the per capita power consumption will reach 5350 KWH in 2020 and 12,000 KWH in 2030; the CO2emission will reach about 102,200,000 tons in 2020 and about 232,600,000 tons in 2030; the CO2emission per unit electricity generation will reach 570gco2/kwh in 2020 and about 620gco2/kwh in 2030. Based on the data, this paper analyzes the influence of different technical paths and policy options on emission in various developmental scenarios, and proposes specific paths for emission reduction.
