This China Energy Conservation Project was designed to support the introduction of a market-based approach to financing energy conservation investments and energy performing contracting, in order to try and overcome some of the major impediments to energy conservation in China.  The project was

Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in China from the Townships and Villages Enterprises (TVE) sector by increasing the utilization of energy efficient technologies and products in the brick, cement, metal casting and coking sectors.The development objective of this project is to reduce the pot

In August 1998, ADB approved a loan for construction of the Guizhou Shuibai Railway Project. The loan was to finance a 121 kilometer (km) standard-gauge, single-track, electrified railway line from Liupanshui to Baiguo in the western part of Guizhou.

The project has improved energy efficiency and reduced GHG emissions by removing barriers to the widespread commercialization of energy-efficient refrigerators.

The China Green Lights project is a Chinese Government and UNDP/GEF joint initiative to improve the quality of Chinese efficient lighting products and to stimulate the demand for these lighting products both nationally and internationally.

The Project focused on three major groups of energy-intensive industries-chemical, cement, and iron and steel industries-and five subprojects to achieve demonstration effects while supporting compliance with prevailing environmental standards.

The Government of China views climate change as a major threat to its ability to achieve sustainable development, and its Initial National Communication was prepared as part of an overall set of climate change related activities.

The project were to stimulate health sector and other community facility planners to adopt passive solar building designs; to strengthen capacity of architectural and engineering design institutes to design; to demonstrate the life cycle cost advantages of energy efficient passive solar buildings

Regarding the overall objective of reducing GHG emissions, the ICR estimates that the project will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by a cumulative amount of 160 millions tons by 2019, compared to 180 million tons by 2016 estimated at appraisal.
