Emissions reduction potential analysis of road transportation

Geographical Research (2013)

Boyang Gao

At the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen,China announced its target of CO2 emission reduction,that is,by 2020 the amount of CO2 emission per output unit will drop by 40% ~45% compared to that in 2005.The target will be incorporated into China’s long term socio-economic planning.Globally,the transport sector is the largest source of CO2 emissions.Exploring road transportation energy consumption and the abatement opportunities for road transportation is of great significance for low-carbon economy research,and also for the emission reduction target.Based on the existing literature and research,in this article,we outline four major potential ways of emissions reduction on road transportation,which are:(1) give priority to the development of public transportation;(2) give priority to the development of small output volume automobiles;(3) reduce the automobile energy consumption per kilometer;(4) strictly control the automobile pollutant emission standard.With these four potential ways,the article uses the emission calculation model and scenario analysis method to estimate the reduction potential of road transportation carbon emission in 2015 and 2020.Calculation results show that: under low,middle and high scenarios,China will reduce the CO2emission by 21.83,18.91 and 18.81 million tons in 2015 respectively.Up to 2020,the emission amount will achieve 71.48,55.45,and 40.55 million tons respectively.Lastly,according to the development reality of China,the paper puts forward the corresponding policy recommendations in relation to emission reduction of road transportation on the basis of the above findings.

Hypermobility and the governance of global production networks: The case of the Canadian cycle industry and its links with China and Taiwan

Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes (2012)

Boyang Gao Weidong Liu Glen Norcliffe

Western firms engaged in mass retailing and in product assembly make frequent changes to their global production networks (GPNs). Indeed, some GPNs show a tendency to hypermobility, which we define as a rapid switching of economic links among manufacturers, importers, and retailers. This theme is explored in the context of the Canadian bicycle industry where domestic production collapsed between 1980 and 2008, following a century of remarkable stability. After a period of flux when Taiwan was the key player, China has emerged as the dominant original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of bicycles sold in Canada, with big‐box stores accounting for the great majority of sales. We connect this increasing fluidity in supply arrangements and in the global organization of the industry with the governance of these GPNs. Several aspects of governance are considered, including the Sloanist practices of the largest Canadian retailers, and the activist role of the Chinese state in directing regional patterns of manufacturing in China.

Tracking Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Crystallization Products with Far-Infrared Spectroscopy

Minerals (2023)

Boyang Gao Kristin M. Poduska

We prepared solution-precipitated amorphous calcium carbonate by two similar methods and tracked structural changes over time as they crystallized. By cross-referencing mid-range infrared (400–4000 cm−1) with far-infrared (100–400 cm−1) spectral features, and by comparing with powder X-ray diffraction data for the aged crystallized products, we provide guidelines for—and potential limitations of—using far-infrared spectroscopy to assess multi-phase Mg-containing calcium carbonate samples that include amorphous or poorly crystallized components.

Capturing gains by relocating global production networks: the rise of Chongqing’s notebook computer industry, 2008–2014

Eurasian Geography and Economics (2017)

Boyang Gao Michael Dunford Glen Norcliffe Zhigao Liu

In 2008 a new notebook manufacturing cluster was established in Chongqing in western China. By 2013 it accounted for some 25% of world output by volume. Chongqing's ability to attract this manufacturing supply chain was driven by several factors that permitted strategic coupling: the existence of complex networks of cooperation and economies external to the firm but internal to contemporary global production networks; changed conditions in southeast and east China; and the creation by Chongqing Municipal People's Government with central state support of hard and soft infrastructures and externalities that drove down logistic and production costs and permitted constant product innovation.

Geography and the theory of uneven and combined development: Theorizing uniqueness and the return of China

Environment and Planning A Economy and Space (2021)

Michael Dunford Boyang Gao Weidong Liu

As societal interaction and combination play a vital role in shaping spatio-temporal development paths, meta-theories of uneven development should give way to a relational meta-theory of uneven and combined development (U&CD). U&CD examines at multiple levels of abstraction not just internal causal mechanisms governing the trajectories of individual societies but also causal mechanisms deriving from societal interaction in a world of multiple unevenly developed societies and multiple development pathways. As a consequence it helps explain geographical differentiation and the multiplicity, hybridity and multilinearity of processes of development. As U&CD examines the roles of ideal and efficient causes and causal laws, it also entails revitalized social science and political economy approaches in geography and urban and regional development studies. To demonstrate the indispensability of analyses of the role of societal interaction and the explanatory significance of the theory of U&CD, a series of longue-durée vignettes explore their role in explanations of the spatio-temporality of the decline and subsequent return of China in a changing and interdependent world.
