At 10:00 a.m. on December 7, 2019, Dr. Li Zhaoling, special researcher of the National Environmental Research Institute of Japan, was invited to visit and gave an academic lecture entitled "Analysis of emission reduction potential of energy intensive industries under the target of 2 ℃ - Taking China's steel industry as an example". Professor Yu Biying presided over this lecture. In attendance were teachers and students of the school of management and economics.
Dr. Zhaoling Li is currently a special researcher at the National Institute of Environmental Research in Japan, and a member of the International Society for Industrial Ecology and the American Geographical Society. She has served as a reviewer of many international journals such as environment international, resource conservation and recycling, remote sensing and natural hazard. Her research involves the analysis of low-carbon development paths in the industrial sector, national and regional climate, environmental and economic impact assessments, and quantitative analysis of the impact of climate change on biodiversity. She has published more than 10 high-level papers in SCI / SSCI journals such as Science of the Total Environment, Energy Policy, Journal of Cleaner Production, and Frontiers in Energy. Research results obtained by Dr. Li Zhaoling have important application prospects in industrial and urban future development planning, industrial structure adjustment and upgrading.
During the presentation, Dr. Li assessed the future development path and clean development potential of high energy consumption industry based on the greater contribution of industrial sector to human carbon emissions, and took China's steel industry as an example, used the bottom-up AIM / Enduse model to predict and analyze the layout, energy consumption and emissions of steel and iron industry. The research shows that demand for steel in China will increase first and then decrease in the future, and the increase of the proportion of electric furnaces is a key consideration in the development of steel industry in the future. At the end of the report, we had in-depth discussion on the issues of demand forecast, parameter setting in AIM model, energy saving and emission reduction path, etc., and took a group photo.
