Abstract:
China’s rapid economic growth has been causing shortage of water resources in the North China, and also has been leading shortage of the power in the coastal areas of East China. Therefore it began to execute the water right transfer policy from an agricultural sector to the power generation industry. In North China, power production mostly uses the coal. Increasing the power production will be result to emit more carbon dioxide, and to influence to global warming. Therefore, in this study, we firstly introduce the outline of water transfer policy. Then, calculation amount of CO2 emission by current water transfer policy. Lastly, some policy scenarios are simulated. As the results, some conclusions are summarized; that 1) Current water transfer policy will be result to a great deal of CO2 emission, 2) Develop the efficiency of energy transformation in power generation can reduce the CO2 emission. 3) In the current technology level, translate the water and electric power between difference regions is effective method to realize the low CO2 emission and high economy grows.
