China's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Sectoral Analysis [Paperback]

This Brief identifies various aspects of energy challenges faced by the Chinese central/local governments, and also provides an opportunity to study how best to achieve green growth and a low-carbon transition in a developing country like China. The progress of Chinas carbon mitigation policies also has significant impacts on the on-going international climate change negotiations. Therefore, both policy- makers and decision-makers in China and other countries can benefit from studying the challenges and opportunities in Chinas energy development.Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategies in Vehicles and Transport Systems in China.- Energy Efficiency and Conservation in Chinas Power Sector: Opportunities and Challenges.- Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategies in Household: Findings from a Survey.- Efficiency Improvement in Chinas Energy Intensive Industries and Its Contribution to Carbon Emission Reduction Target.- Building Life-cycle Commissioning and Optimization  Approach and Practice.- The Legal Challenges about the Legislation and Policies on Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency in China.- Potential of CO2 Abatement Resulting from Energy Efficiency Improvement in Chinas Iron and Steel Industry.- Efficiency in Chinas Power Sector: Evidence from Large Dataset of Power Plants.- Household Energy Saving in China: The Challenges of Changing Behaviour.- Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategies in Japan and Their Implications in Chinas Future Energy Development.- Prospects of Energy Savings and GHG Emission Reductions.- Energy and Pollution Efficiencies of Regions in China.
