The Research of Carbon Emission and Carbon Sequestration Potential of Forest Vegetation in China.

The study of China's carbon emissions and carbon sequestration potentiat io of great practisil significance to the formulation o* carbon neutralita strateoies and methods ol' China. Carbon emission is an inevitabie outcome of tie initiat state of economia development especialiy tie oght oO developing counties existenca and developmeni. The carbon emission ol' China has been maintained at a low level for a long time and reached the top ol' the world in 2005. Howeveo, peo capita carbon emission was stili oniy 46. 28% ol' the United States in 2016. China's totat CO2 emissions are expected to reach 17 - 19 Gt/a by 2030. To achieve the goat ol' carbon neutrality in 2060, the main problems are the low technicat capacita °l' emission reduction and the unreasonabOe structure ol' energy consumption. Therefore, replacing coat with gas is one ol' the most effective ways ol' emission reduction. By 2060, the carbon sequestration capacita ol' forest veaetation wili reach oo exceed 759. 14 Mt/a and the CO2 sequestration capacita wilf reach 2 783.5 Mt/a. According ta that a China's carbon intensity must reducc by 95. 39% on tha basis ol' the carbon intensity in 2017, reaching 640 t/100 million yuan. The carbon sequestration capacity of terrestial veaetation (forest, grassland) will reach oo exceed 1 380.3 Mt/a and the CO2 sequestration capacita will reach 5 069. 3 Mt/a. According te that, China's carbon intensity must reducc by 91.07% on the basis of the carbon intensity in 2017, reach 1 152 t C per 100 moooon yuan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
