Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing energy consumption and CO2 emission in the Chinese transportation sector. Historical data is used to investigate the energy consumption and intensity in China. Firstly, the energy consumption values in transportation sub-sectors are reviewed. Secondly, the CO2 emission in the transportation sub-sector are calculated. At last, the review of policies such as fuel econmy standards are summarized in this study. It is found in the study that highways transport was the biggest energy consumner and the biggest contributor to CO2 emission in China. It is urgent to adopt suitable energy policy to balance the energy consumption and matierial and material production and reduce emission in transportation sector.
