摘要
We evaluate the national and international impacts on energy consumption and production, trade, and economic activity-of Chinese coal-to-gas switching in the electric power sector. We find that assumptions about growth rates in electricity generation from renewables are the key determinant in evaluating the economic consequences for coal-to-gas switching in China. The ability to supplement natural gas generation with renewables leads to smaller reductions in Chinese and global economic activity than the alternatives. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
