Due to the large consumption of fossil fuel globally, the concentration of carbon dioxide, a main greenhouse gas, has risen from 280ppm to 379ppm over the 150 years since the start of industrialization, causing a rise of 0.6℃in the earth surface temperature.The thesis first studies the impact of Kyoto Protocol on China, discussing the challenges and opportunities that face the country, in terms of national economy, business development and trade barrier. Based on a comparative analysis of CO2 emission reduction strategies of the developed world and China, the paper points out how China can draw lessons from western experience. Then the author examines the correlations of economic growth and energy saving and consumption reduction, proposing strategies that suit China's situation. On the basis of NICE model, the article gives high/medium/low scenario data, illustrating the potential of several energies for power generation, and the degree to which they can take the place of traditional coal-fired power. With cement production and steel manufacture in particular, the article explains the new technology and process that can be applied to industries, for the purpose of CO2 emission reduction. Finally, the paper explores application of solar energy, describing its current development, factors that restrict its further application, and proposing relevant solutions.
