Development Paths for China’s Transport Sector under the Carbon Neutrality Goal
The greenhouse gas emissions from China’s transport sector, which account for a large proportion of China’s total greenhouse gas emissions, are still increasing rapidly. Therefore, low-carbon transformation is urgently needed in China’s transport sector. This paper provides an overview of the situat...

| description | The greenhouse gas emissions from China’s transport sector, which account for a large proportion of China’s total greenhouse gas emissions, are still increasing rapidly. Therefore, low-carbon transformation is urgently needed in China’s transport sector. This paper provides an overview of the situation and features of greenhouse gas emissions from China’s transport sector, and proposes carbon-neutral development paths for the transport sector based on current national policies, goals and previous research. China needs to work on many aspects, including transport restructuring, alternative fuel technologies and energy efficiency improvement, to achieve near-zero emission goals by 2060. Under the carbon neutrality goal, China’s transport sector should strive to reach the carbon peaking goal by 2030, and limit carbon emissions within 100 million tons by 2060. |
