This paper explores an integrated approach to utilize indigenous renewable energy to improve energy self-sufficiency and emission reduction in the rural households of Guangxi province in China. A simple cost-benefit simulation model is constructed to (i) analyze the financial and environmental cost under the present rural consumption structure; (ii) analyze the economic and environmental cost and benefits of utilizing rural renewable energy. Recommendations for scaling up utilization of rural renewable energy are also made. The results of the study are: rural renewable energy and energy efficiency can provide both economic and environmental benefits. But as they require higher up-front investment than conventional energy sources, public support and policy incentives should be provided and financing mechanism should be innovated.
