Abstract

This Research Report examines the pathways through which China could reduce energy related CO2 emissions by 2050, to levels that would be broadly consistent with the global 2 degrees Celsius objective. It highlights the technologies that would be required, the barriers to their deployment, and the wider implications for China's energy policy.
