TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an assessment of these policies and programs to begin to understand issues that will play a critical role in China's energy and economic future, and concluded that activities undertaken in China will have a significant influence on the global effort to reduce the growth, and later the absolute quantity, of greenhouse gas emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present technical and policy interventions, both on the supply side and on the demand side, that can achieve net zero industrial emissions in the required timeframe, and identify measures that, employed together, can achieve the goal.

TL;DR: The authors assesses selected policies and programs that China has instituted to fulfill the national goal, finding that China made substantial progress and many of the energy-efficiency programs appear to be on track to meet or exceed their energy-saving targets.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored four scenarios for Chinese buildings, ranging from a high-energy-demand scenario with no new energy policies to lowest energy demand under a techno-economic-potential scenario that assumes full deployment of cost-effective efficient and renewable technologies by 2050.

TL;DR: Zhou et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a bottom-up energy end-use model to forecast China's energy and emissions outlook to 2050, which was supported by the China Sustainable Energy Program of the Energy Foundation through the U.S. Department of Energy.
