摘要
Understanding the driving factors of China’s power sector decarbonization and the role of carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) in the process of power sector decarbonization can help to formulate and improve policies related to power sector decarbonization to fulfill China’s commitment to the international community. Based on a self-developed power sector CO2 emissions dataset, this study conducts a decomposition analysis of the driving factors of China’s power sector CO2 emissions changes from the perspective of ETS implementation and analyzes the mechanism of these driving factors in the process of ETS promoting decabonization in power sector. The results show that the accelerated decarbonization process of China’s power sector after the implementation of the ETS is mainly due to the slowdown in economic growth, the continuous optimization of the power generation structure, and the gradual increase in the efficiency of power generation and power consumption. The ETS has accelerated the process of decarbonization of China’s power sector, and it mainly works by promoting the efficiency of power generation and electricity consumption. The research conclusions can clarify the priority and focus of policies related to decarbonization of China’s power sector in the context of the ETS construction. © 2023 Systems Engineering Society of China.
