The deterioration of the environment is much more serious, which leads to low carbon development of power industry overwhelming, this paper summarizes and analyzes the problems of low carbon development in China’s electricity industry, including the higher cost of low carbon energy construction, unreasonable energy structure, backward level of technology , difficulties of new energy paralleling in power grid; On the other hand, points out some measures towards low carbon development, including determining the price policies of renewable energy, levying carbon taxes and government subsidies, strengthening the construction of western electric facilities, optimizing the power structure, developing new energy technology, applying intelligent grid as well as promoting the international exchange and cooperation. We hope that the analysis can give certain reference for the low carbon development of China’s power industry.

The rise of global value chains (GCVs) has seen the transfer of carbon emissions embodied in every step of international trade. Building a coordinated, inclusive and green GCV can be an effective and efficient way to achieve carbon emissions mitigation targets for countries that participate highly in GCVs. In this paper, we first describe the energy consumption as well as the territorial and consumption-based carbon emissions of Belarus and its regions from 2010 to 2017. The results show that Belarus has a relatively clean energy structure with 75% of Belarus' energy consumption coming from imported natural gas. The ‘chemical, rubber and plastic products' sector has expanded significantly over the past few years; its territorial-based emissions increased 10-fold from 2011 to 2014, with the ‘food processing' sector displaying the largest increase in consumption-based emissions. An analysis of regional emissions accounts shows that there is significant regional heterogeneity in Belarus with Mogilev, Gomel and Vitebsk having more energy-intensive manufacturing industries. We then analysed the changes in Belarus' international trade as well as its emission impacts. The results show that Belarus has changed from a net carbon exporter in 2011 to a net carbon importer in 2014. Countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, such as Russia, China, Ukraine, Poland and Kazakhstan, are the main trading partners and carbon emission importers/exporters for Belarus. ‘Construction’ and ‘chemical, rubber and plastic products' are two major emission-importing sectors in Belarus, while ‘electricity' and ‘ferrous metals' are the primary emission-exporting sectors. Possible low-carbon development pathways are discussed for Belarus through the perspectives of global supply and the value chain.

The world is entering a new energy era marked by concerns over energy security, climate change, and access by the poor to modern energy services. Yet the current energy path is not compatible with sustainable development objectives. Global demand for energy will continue to grow; so will CO2 emissions. Achieving a low-carbon energy world will require an unprecedented technological transformation in the way energy is produced and used. That transformation has begun, as renewables capacity continues to grow, prices continue to fall, and shares of global energy from renewables continue to increase. Government policies are the main driver behind renewable energy's meteoric growth. Still, the world is tapping only a small amount of the vast supply of renewable energy resources. There is broad consensus that the role of these resources should be expanded significantly in order to meaningfully address energy security, energy access, and climate change.

Economic development of Shandong province is over-reliance on coal resources, which produces shackles for the development of economy in Shandong. No matter from the current economic growth mode, the structure of energy consumption and current environmental pollution, the development model of economy in Shandong requires the transition to a low-carbon model, and there is an urgent requirement to go low carbon development path. This paper analysis that the energy structure in the presence of low carbon development of coal industry in Shandong province is not coordinated, the industrial structure is irrational, the extensive mode of development has not fundamentally change and there are some achievements in low carbon technology innovation and the development of circular economy. The paper provides the path for transition to low-carbon electricity in coal industry in Shandong through coal production, coal utilization, coal technology of low-carbon transition and other aspects.

Heilongjiang Province, whose pillar industries are made up of petroleum and coal exploitation, chemicals fabrication and mechanical devices manufacture, is one of the most important industrial bases in China. The leading enterprises from the three pillar industries make up the 59.2% of the total quantity and contribute the 57.3% of the total GDP in Heilongjiang Province. But as a matter of fact, according to the latest statistics, unit GDP carbon emissions of these three industrials are as high as 4. They are the typical industries whose characteristics are high energy consumed and intense carbon emission. As a result, adopting new energy and switching the developmental pattern to a low carbon model are a crucial step in Heilongjiang Province. The authors study this research by the methods of calculating the relevant datum and comparative analysis, and put forward three low carbon energy strategies: making full use of the bio-energy with the leading representatives of Ethanol Alcohol Gasoline and Dimethyl Ether (DEM); increasing investment on wind power project, and utilizing the potential water resources. With the operation of these strategies, we can reduce the carbon emissions and lead the industry to a green and sustainable way.

Abstract With the high-quality development of the global economy, China’s power industry is accelerating its upgrading and transformation in accordance with the requirements of building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient manner. As the front-end industry of the power industry, related Power Design Institutes are also facing the challenge of transformation pressure. This study believes that the Power Design Institute should be market-oriented to change its concept, mainly from three aspects: transform from traditional coal-fired power generation business to new energy power generation business, and develop photovoltaic, wind power, biomass power generation and other new energy power generation businesses; The traditional design method is transformed into a digital and intelligent design method, and advanced technologies such as BIM and blockchain are fully utilized in the design process; from a simple design business to a whole-process consulting business, Transition from a simple design business to a whole-process consulting business, horizontally expand the design business to the entire process from pre-planning to post-project evaluation, and initially expand the business types to include project management, investment consulting, bidding consulting, and general contracting services, supervision business, procurement consulting, etc.
