from the Databook that summarizes key energy data.2 The primary source for all of the energy
data for those efforts as well as for this report is China’s National Bureau of Statistics.
Chapter 2 presents the most recent information available on China’s Key Energy Targets,
Policies, and Programs, covering China’s energy and energy-related emissions commitments in
the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), the Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris
Agreement, and other documents as well as providing an update on 42 policies and programs
currently in place in China focused on energy and related emissions. This chapter builds on the
China Energy Group’s 30+ years of policy and program development, implementation, and
analysis in China and is augmented by information provided through 18 interviews with
research staff and policymakers in China.
Chapter 3 presents a Continuous Improvement Scenario of China’s Future Energy Outlook to
2050, modeling what China can achieve in terms of energy use and energy-related CO2
emissions with adoption of the maximum shares of commercially available, cost-effective
energy efficiency and renewable energy supply by 2050. This scenario is built using the China
Energy Group’s China 2050 Demand Resources Energy Analysis Model (DREAM) which was
developed in collaboration with many international and Chinese researchers over the past 15
years.3
