Analyzing renewable energy in China

DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Analyzing Renewable Energy in China" report to its offering.

China's rapid economic growth and heavy reliance on increasingly expensive foreign oil, the vast environmental toll that is one of the most apparent costs of China's economic success, persistent rural poverty in China and periodic power shortages all have impressed upon the Chinese government that renewable energy must be a large part of China's economy if China is to both complete its economic transformation and achieve "energy security". China rapidly has moved along the path of renewable energy development.

In the near-term China plans to develop 120000 MW's of renewable energy by the year 2020; this would account for 12 percent of China's total installed energy producing capacity. China's growth target for renewable energy production will require an investment of approximately 800 billion Yuan ($100 billion) by 2020.

China has set a renewable energy target of 10 percent of electric power capacity by 2010 (expected 60 GW); 5% percent of primary energy by 2010 and 10 percent of primary energy by 2020. In the long term, China has set an objective of having 30 percent or more of its total energy requirements satisfied by renewable sources by 2050.

The emerging renewable energy and sustainable development sectors in China have provided global companies who have products and services to sell to or buy from China's rapidly growing renewable energy and sustainable development sectors and other policy makers, NGOs and interested parties.

There have been co-ordinated efforts by Chinese companies, industry associations, central and local government agencies and non-governmental organizations to develop the renewable energy sector.
