Abstract

This paper presents coal consumption of electricity generation in China under different energy scenarios of the given long-term energy policies. Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning 2008(LEAP 2008) software is used to develop a simple model of electricity demand and to estimate gross coal consumption of electricity generation in China until2030 under these scenarios. And, time-serial emission inventory of As is also built in the method of emission factors based on fuel consumptions. The results show that the coal consumption will increase by 4 times, amounting to 5.92 billiontces under BAU scenario. The total emission of As is 20.7Mtces with an average annual growth rate of 6.6%. UnderENR scenario, the total reduction of coal consumption and Asemission may reach 25.89% and 26.82% respectively compared to that in BAU scenario.
