Since biologically generating wood differs fundamentally from producing synthetic raw materials, it is important to examine whether and to what extent cascading
use of renewable raw materials pays off in terms of efficiency.
However, the lack of empirical studies leads to much uncertainty about the SD implications of many mitigation strategies,
including use of renewables, fuel switching, feedstock and product changes, control of non-CO2 gases, and CCS.
Chinese quantitative obligations are, therefore, likely to focus on improvements in energy intensity per unit of GDP, perhaps bolstered by some sectoral requirements, along with targets
on use of renewables.

how use of renewable energy certificates in China has taken it a major step closer to meeting RE100 goal
Environmental groups want deadlines tightened so emissions are cut sooner, and think states can ramp
up use of renewable power and energy efficiency more effectively than the agency had predicted.
Another source (41) claims that «Biomass burning is currently being developed as an alternative to traditional fossil fuel energy production methods,... By
making use of a renewable resource, like pine wood chips, and avoiding incomplete combustion, these biomass power stations are able to have a much reduced net greenhouse gas impact compared to equivalent coal, oil, and gas fired power stations.»
Given the glut of oil on the market, the increasing idle production capacity, and increasing
use of renewable non-carbon energy sources there is really no reason for oil to be at more than $ 30 a gallon, but everyone in the oil sector colludes to prop up prices.
