Features: Based on summarizing international strategic environmental assessment (SEA) practices, this book analyzes and discusses relevant issues of planning environmental assessment in China. Building on an analysis of China's energy production and consumption, utilization efficiency, environmental issues arising from energy development and utilization, and the severe challenges faced by the energy structure, it examines the shortcomings of China's energy strategy system and explores solutions to China's energy and environmental problems. Additionally, it discusses the fundamental methods, steps, types of energy planning, and its relationship with other types of planning. The book conducts a systematic study on general principles, technical procedures, and main contents of SEA in energy planning. It analyzes air pollution issues in energy utilization, introduces the characteristics of several common air pollution prediction models, and provides several case studies of air pollution prediction related to energy utilization. Based on summarizing the basic theories, application technical procedures, and common methods of cost-benefit analysis, it explores the methods of cost-benefit analysis in energy planning SEA. Finally, it selects the "10th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development in Tianjin" as a simulated evaluation object to conduct case studies of planning environmental assessment. This book is suitable for researchers, managers, and decision-makers in the fields of environmental science and energy, as well as serving as a teaching material for senior undergraduate or graduate students in environmental studies.
