2021 China's Long-Term Low-Carbon Development Strategies and Pathways  
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C released in October 2018, achieving the 1.5 °C target requires net-zero CO 2 emission by the middle of this century. And this necessitates the innovations and applications of a wide array of key revolutionary technologies. Long-term deep decarbonization development of the world and China entails a variety of medium-and long-term emission reduction technologies. To enable the 1.5 °C

Comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of deep decarbonization technologies underpins technology selection and emissions strategy. This chapter begins by analyzing the comprehensive impact of multiple energy efficiency and low-carbon technologies in terms of technology maturity, economic impact, social impact, environmental impact and ecological impact, followed by a roadmap for the development of major technologies. In this chapter, over ten deep decarbonization technologies were diagnosed and evaluated, including research and development progress, cost effectiveness, development potential and policy requirements. Comprehensive Cost-Benefit Analysis of Long-Term Deep Decarbonization Technologies Research Background China's decarbonization technological advances are playing a leading role. The emission reduction potential of traditional technologies is limited, and the contribution of rational demand and structural adjustment and optimization has been on the rise.
