Modelling the impacts of carbon taxes on energy consumption and GHG emissions in Chongqing
According to Chinas Intended Nationally Determined Contribution(INDC)in the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change,Chinese government have announced its emission-reduction target that CO2 emissions per unit of GDP would be reducedby 60-65%in 2030 compared with the 2005 level.In order to these targets,some effective carbon emission reduction measures should be implemented.As one of the most cost-effective means of emission reduction,carbon tax has attracted considerable attention from economists and international organizations and has led to a lot of related research.This study applies a two-region dynamic Computable General Equilibrium(CGE)model to simulate the effects of different carbon taxes scenarios on the energy consumption and carbon emissions in Chongqing from 2016 to 2030.The scenario setting include a Business-As-Usual(BaU)scenario and carbon tax scenarios.The main results show that when carbon tax is implemented in Chongqing,it is helpful to decrease carbon emissions,carbon intensity as well as energy consumption in 2030,while it will have a mild negative impact on the economy.The study provide aquantitative,city-specific analysis about the impacts of different carbon taxes on carbon emissions and energy consumption,which are used to support the promotion and formulation of carbon tax policy in Chongqing.
