Offers to tackle carbon pollution from China and the United States, the world's two top emitters, are key to the success of the U.N.-led talks, which originally aimed to seal a new framework to fight climate change. The negotiations have run out of time and instead a political pact is expected to be agreed at the Dec 7-18 Denmark meeting with a legally binding agreement in 2010. Beijing is considering a reduction of around 40 to 45 percent in "carbon intensity" -- the amount of greenhouse gases emitted for each yuan of national income -- from 2005 levels, sources with knowledge of the negotiations say. It is expected to announce the number before the Copenhagen talks start, perhaps as early as this week. But critics say Beijing is almost half-way to that goal after just four years of an energy efficiency drive, and warn that an unambitious target could slow a push for cleaner growth. "Maybe the Chinese government likes to claim by 2020 there will be 40 percent reduction ... but it is not aggressive enough, we have to argue for at least 45 percent," said Yang Fuqiang, director of Global Climate solutions at WWF. China pledged in 2006 to cut its energy intensity 20 percent by 2010 and is more or less on track to meet that goal. This brings a matching improvement in emissions because every tonne of coal that is not burned keeps carbon dioxide out of the air. The rapid roll-out of renewables and nuclear has also avoided extra greenhouse gas emissions that would have been created if that energy came from fossil fuels. So a 20 percent improvement in energy efficiency brings a greater carbon intensity cut. "If you convert that into carbon numbers, it's a little less than a 25 percent decrease," Jonathan Pershing, U.S. deputy special envoy for climate change, said of China's expected energy savings through 2010, in an interview earlier this month. Even with a higher-end target of 45 percent, this leaves just over 20 percent to be achieved in the coming decade. WHAT IS NOTABLE? President Hu Jintao promised in September that China would unveil a goal for a "notable" cut in carbon intensity by 2020, compared with 2005, a landmark because it was the first time China had accepted it must put measurable controls on emissions. Beijing's move was seen as a key step toward unblocking U.N. negotiations that had stalled as rich and poor nations argued over who should cut emissions, by how much and who should pay. But support for China might wane if rich nations feel Beijing is dressing up its normal economic trajectory as an emissions goal -- and experts say that China does already seem on track to make significant cuts in the next decade, in part as it reaps the reward of its energy efficiency and renewables programs.  Continued...
