Abstract—China, the largest populous country, energy consumer, and overall CO2 emitter in the world, is facing dual pressure arising from challenges both at home and from abroad to become sustainable society. To address the “multi-lemma” of economic prosperity, energy security, social development, and ecological prudence, China is in desperate need of a green growth strategy. One approach is to focus on the energy sector to transition to a Green, Reliable, Effective, Affordable, and Thrifty (GREAT) energy system to create sustainable the economic opportunities but reduce environmental pressures at the same time. We describe here an analytical framework that provides a long-term comprehensive g policy to support the GREAT energy scheme.
Index Terms—China, green growth, the GREAT energy system, energy strategy, SCORE analysis, LCSEF.
