This month,
Tim convinced the boss that writing an article about
China: Energy Policy & the Olympics was not an excuse to
watch the Olympics during working hours. It is a good
article that I recommend to you and one that inspired Derek
to look at China's energy usage as you can see in this
months cartoon.
The UK Gas
Markets course on 18th September is now full, and the next
one will be on the 21st November. There are still a few
places available on our other courses though, so if this is
the year that you wanted to increase your knowledge don't
delay and book your place!
We hope you
enjoy your free monthly read from MJMEnergy, if you have any
suggestions or comments,
please let us know. |

China: Energy Policy & the Olympics
Following the
spectacle of the Beijing Olympics 08’ we thought we would
take an opportunity in this latest MZINE article to have a
look at Chinese energy policy and carbon emissions, to
consider the extent to which hosting the Olympics has
affected, and may continue to affect, China’s energy
future.
Growing
carbon emissions
In the years
leading up to 2008 China has been rapidly increasing its
contribution to worldwide carbon emissions; China has been
in rapid economic and industrial development over the last
decade, and carbon emissions have continued to grow with
this development. Between 2000 and 2007 worldwide carbon
emissions from fossil fuel combustion increased an estimated
22% to 8.2 billion tons. China is estimated to have
contributed to 57% of the growth of carbon emissions during
this period, whilst India the US, and Europe has contributed
8%, 4% and 3% respectively. The latest data suggests that
China has now overtaken the USA as the world’s leading
man-made CO2 emitter, with an increase of 8% this
year. A few years ago it was forecast that China would take
no.1 spot in 2020. It is worth noting that 8% of China’s CO2
emissions come from cement making, which may slacken off
following the completion of a large number of Olympic
building projects. The USA still produces 4 times as much CO2
per capita as China.
