In June 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping remarked at a conference of the Communist Party of China’s (CPC) Central Leading Group for Financial and Economic Affairs Commission that a revolution in energy production and consumption was needed to safeguard national energy security. New patterns in supply and demand, compounded by changing trends in i...

... accelerate transition by giving the intensifiers momentum. As shown in Fig. 17, given the policy-directed nature of the current transition, government must take action to address environmental market failures, encourage change in consumer behaviour (and in broader society) and prompt businesses to invest in new low-carbon technologies. For example, subsidies or other policy tools could be offered to improve ...

... The report of the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 2017 emphasizes the shift from rapid growth to long-term economic and social development (high-quality development) [15]. According to the China National Petroleum Corporation, it is predicted that the share of coal in the energy mix of the country will fall sharply to 44% by 2030 and 8% by 2060 [16]. In this regard, China's power mix is projected to transition from 30% renewable energy in 2022 to 88% by 2050. ...
This article evaluates the existing energy policy in Iran, focusing on the nation’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels and the implications of such dependency. With one of the world’s highest energy intensities, Iran’s energy consumption significantly overshadows its economic output, largely due to subsidized energy prices that discourage efficient use. This study highlights the economic, environmental, and societal challenges stemming from this unsustainable energy consumption, including excessive natural resource depletion, environmental degradation, and economic inefficiencies. It proposes a strategic shift toward renewable energy sources, especially solar and wind carriers, outlining necessary domestic and foreign policy changes to facilitate this transition. The study’s findings indicate that certain modifications to Iran’s domestic and foreign policy are required. These include reorganizing energy pricing and regulations, increasing public awareness, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting international collaborations to facilitate the advancement of cleaner energy technologies.
... Thus far, at least five energy crises have broken out in the world, and energy problems will always hinder and inhibit social and economic development (Randall, 2014;Radcliffe, 2018). For many countries, the development of new energy can not only promote the economy out of a crisis but also enhance the security of energy supply and improve the international competitiveness in the future era of lowcarbon economy (Zhaoyuan and Ishwaran, 2020). Therefore, new energy development has become the consensus of major countries in the world. ...
The development and competition of the new energy industry will become an important battlefield of a new round of technological and industrial competition. This study use the annual data from 1990 to 2019 to understand the factors affecting the development of new energy development in China by examining the long-run and causal relationship among the proportion of new energy consumption, energy prices, carbon emissions, industrial structure, economic growth, and new energy power generation in a multivariate model for China. The findings indicate that in the long run, new energy generation is positively linked with new energy consumption, whereas energy prices and carbon emissions have a negative and significant impact on new energy consumption. In the short run, economic growth can promote the growth of new energy consumption. However, this positive effect is gradually formed and is unlikely to happen soon. However, whether the impact of industrial structure optimization on new energy consumption is a long- or short-run estimate is not significant. Causality results suggest that a one-way Granger causality exists between each factor and new energy consumption in different lag orders, except for industrial structure. Re-examining the energy price mechanism and carbon emission mechanism policy, maintaining stable GDP growth, increasing the installed capacity of new energy power generation, and improving power generation conversion efficiency are vital for ensuring new energy development.
Universal environmental policies adopt strategies that enhance and encourage the production and usage of electric vehicles (EVs). Universal cooperation is evident in the framework of agreements or protocols so as to successfully lead countries towards the predetermined goals. The question is whether this trend can reduce global warming or CO2 emissions worldwide. By adopting game theory, this study analyses electricity carbon life cycle in leading EV countries. Results show that although the spread of EVs in Europe and the USA can mitigate carbon emissions, the production and use of electric vehicles in some countries, such as China and India, become a new source of such emissions. This reverse effect is due to the emission of greenhouse gases from electricity sources in these countries. Game theory also suggests that countries with unclean electricity sources should reconsider their plans to produce and use EVs. This study confirms that although carbon emission and global warming are global problems, regional and local policies can be substituted with a single comprehensive approach for an effective means of CO2 emission reduction.
