Fig. 2.19
Contributions of specific policies on improvements of carbon emissions (2005-2009)
The main contributions came from energy-savings and energy efficiency
improvements, along with the optimization of the energy consumption structure from
2005 to 2009, which contributed 101.46 % and 10.67 % respectively (see Fig.
2.19
).
However, the projections on potential energy-savings have been lowered in the
next few decades amidst increasing political and economic uncertainties.
