Low Carbon Development and Early Emissions Peaking in Chinese Cities: Case Studies (2018)
In September 2018, the International Technical Supporting Platform for City Emission Peaking (ISP-CEP) released the case studies, with support from all members of the platform, including Energy Foundation China.
Through literature reviews and interviews, this report illustrates how eight different Chinese cities try to push forward low carbon development at the local level and aim to peak their emissions early. The cases can provide practical lessons for other cities in China and developing countries around the world, as they explore innovative low carbon solutions that suit them.
ISP-CEP was established in 2017 by 11 international non-governmental organizations in China, aiming to help Chinese cities achieve their carbon emissions peaking goals successfully.

2018 China Carbon Pricing Survey
This report summarises the results of the 2018 China Carbon Pricing Survey. During April 2018, the survey elicited expectations about China’s future carbon price from stakeholders in carbon markets. Through cooperation with industrial associations, strong efforts were made to survey representatives from China’s carbon-intensive industries, including power, cement, and aluminum, which are already, or soon expected to be, subject to carbon pricing.

Water Issues With China’s Energy Scenarios up to 2020 and 2030
In 2018, the Tsinghua-BP Clean Energy Research and Education Center studied water issues with China’s 2020 and 2030 energy scenarios. Researchers provided quantitative figures of water withdrawal and consumption in pre-specified energy scenarios, especially for 2020 and 2030. This is the first study to help justify the impacts of energy development on water resources and conservation targets in China. The research was supported by Energy Foundation China.
