The Chinese government set a target to reduce China's carbon intensity
by 40%-45% in 2020 at its 2005 level. To achieve this target, the
government has allocated targets to provinces, cities, and large
enterprises, and selected five pilot provinces and eight cities for CO2
emission trading. Such emission trading process will involve
decentralization, optimization, and negotiation. The prime objective of
this book is to perform academic research on simulating the negotiation
process. Through this research, a methodological framework and its
implementation are set up to analyze, model and facilitate the process
of negotiation among central government and individual energy producers
under environmental, economical and social constraints.
NEGOTIATION IN DECENTRALIZATION: CASE STUDY OF CHINA'S CARBON TRADING IN
THE POWER SECTOR discusses research carried out on negotiation issues in
China regarding Chinese power sector reform over the past 30 years.
Results show that conflicts exist between power groups and the national
government, and that the most current negotiation topics in China's
power industry are demand and supply management, capital investment,
energy prices, and CO2 emission mitigations.
NEGOTIATION IN DECENTRALIZATION: CASE STUDY OF CHINA'S CARBON TRADING IN
THE POWER SECTOR is written for government policy makers, energy and
environment industry investors, energy program/project managers,
environment conservation specialists, university professors,
researchers, and graduate students. It aims to provide a methodology and
a tool that can resolve difficult negotiation issues and change a
loss-loss situation to a win-win situation for key players in a
decentralized system, including government policymakers, energy
producers, and environment conservationists.
