Based on Johansen Cointegration Test, this paper sheds light on the long-run equilibrium relationship between natural gas consumption, gas production, and GDP in China. Three different natural gas demand scenarios of low, medium and high rates in the next ten years are considered, and a Neural Network Autoregression Model is used to predict the future carbon dioxide emission. We conclude: (1) In all three scenarios, the growth rates of natural gas consumption are all higher than those of natural gas production, while the gap between demand and domestic supply will gradually turn broader and China will largely rely on imports ; (2) In the scenario of low-rate economic growth, natural gas consumption will grow slowly, and it will be difficult to realize the carbon emission reduction targets by 2030 due to low-rate substitution of natural gas for coal; (3) If medium-rate to high-rate economic growth sustains, coupled with rapid increase in natural gas consumption and production, China’s Carbon Emission Reduction Targets for 2030 can be achieved with high-rate substitution of natural gas for coal.

The Impact

As the development of a green and low-carbon economy has received great attention from governments around the world, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have become important issues raised by China. As a major energy consuming country, government has actively formulated and implemented various carbon emission reduction policies in order to curb carbon emissions. Whether these policies achieve economic growth in the process of energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote China’s green and low-carbon development transition is the focus of this paper. This paper selects data from 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2019, establishes a model, and empirically analysis the impact of carbon emission reduction policy tools on economic growth. The results show that there is a significant negative correlation between mandatory carbon emission reduction policies and economic growth, while market-based carbon emission reduction policies enhance the economic strength of the region. In addition, this paper empirically tests that after the establishment of the carbon market in 2013, market-based carbon emission reduction policies have significantly promoted economic growth, and the impact of carbon emission reduction policies on economic growth have regional heterogeneity.
