A hybrid scenario analysis for the selection of future greenhouse gas emissions reduction technologies in China’s oil and gas industry

Oil and gas provide approximately 22.7% of China’s total primary energy, but simultaneously absorbs 5% of that same energy. Increasing energy demands attributed to rapid industrialization stand in contradiction to China’s stringent policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The GHG emissions of China’s oil and gas industry was 377 Mt CO2-eq in 2010, which was approximately 2.5 times higher than those of EU 27. Emission intensity in China...
