China's future energy demand and carbon emissions outlook
• With specific domestic measures, strong support from the international com-
munity in terms of technology transfers and financial assistance, China's total
energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced (see
Fig.
8.3
). Under the low-carbon scenario, China's total energy demand in 2050
will be less than 5.56 billion t of standard coal and total carbon dioxide emissions
will be 87.2 million t. Under the following conditions, China's carbon dioxide
emissions in 2050 can be further reduced and make a greater contribution to
global climate change: China must continue to take positive measures and adopt
