The Chinese economy has been steadily growing since 1978. During most of the period energy intensity fell. Between 2002 and 2005 however energy intensity increased. In this paper we seek an answer for the overall decrease in energy intensity and temporary increase between 2002 and 2005. Index decomposition analysis is used to decompose energy intensity changes between 2000 and 2009 into three factors:...

Accurate evaluation and prediction of the potential impact of climate change on crop production is essential to the sustainable development of a country's agriculture. Model variations plus uncertainties in the future climate change scenarios create a big challenge for such evaluation. In this work, we developed a statistical crop model using the historical yield data between 1981–2010 from the National...
Sport event in China has the characters of both externality and public goods nature, which impacts the strategies of measuring the Gross Domestic Product of sport events. Referring to the common approach of GDP and based on the categorization of different statistic units, the objects of statistics can be measured in two schemes: one is to regard them all as non-market units; the other is to divide...
Eco-innovation (EI) pursues to bring environmental and economic win-win outcomes, including competitive performance and environmental performance, which possess the property of double externality and to present multi-motivations. Based on empirical analyses of EI on 246 enterprises in China, the econometric estimations show that the impact of different motivations on EI performance. In this study,...
In this paper, the vehicle cycle environment impacts of a mid-size passenger car in China is performed, with a special focus on the primary energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The vehicle cycle analysis results show that the energy consumption and GHG emissions of a passenger car in China are about 91.1 GJ and 11.5 ton per vehicle, respectively.

With the sustaining economic development in China, the timely, accurate and objective agricultural production information service has been highly demanded by the central and provincial governments. China Agricultural Remote Sensing Monitoring System (CHARMS) is an operational agricultural monitoring system in the Ministry of Agriculture of China to meet this demand.
With the emergy balance law as theoretical support, the basic principle to guide synergetic utilization of agricultural land with the emergy balance law is expounded by defining the basic connotations of that theory, and emergy indexes of Chinese agricultural land system are established; the synergetic degrees of China's agricultural land system in the past 10 years are judged so as to form a new...
