Abstract:In order to achieve the win-win situation of economic and social development and carbon emission reduction under the carbon intensity control target in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, it is necessary to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the conduction effect of the energy transformation path under the constraint and drive of the carbon target. This study constructs the energy economy and environment assessment model, and designs the benchmark scenario, energy transformation scenario and deep energy transformation scenario, The results show that the peak of carbon emissions in Greater Bay Area needs the joint efforts of carbon pricing mechanism and energy structure transformation. The benchmark scenario without these two measures cannot reach the peak before 2035. Carbon pricing and energy transformation at different levels under the transformation and deep transformation scenarios will promote the peak of Greater Bay Area in 2025 and 2022 respectively. Compared with the benchmark scenario, the transformation of carbon cost and energy structure in 2035 promoted the growth of GDP by 0.68%. The deep transformation caused a loss of 0.34% of GDP. Driven by the carbon peak target and energy transformation, the investment structure of various industries has changed. Under the transformation scenario, the total investment in 2035 is 11 trillion, driving the GDP to reach 31 trillion. Compared with the benchmark scenario, the annual increase is about 800 billion, the increase of electric power is 60 billion, the increase of industry is 500 billion, the increase of transportation is 40 billion, and the increase of service industry is 200 billion. Employment in the service, transportation and power sectors increased by 97000, 126000 and 30000 respectively. The results show that setting the total carbon control target reasonably, the carbon price presented by the system is conducive to guiding the structural substitution of energy consumption departments, which in turn promotes the growth of economic GDP, the low-carbon transformation of industrial structure, the improvement of employment rate and the better realization of the goal of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
