• Analysis of China's Potential for Energy Consumption & Conservation , Energy Foundation & China National Institute of Standardization
  China National Institute of Standardization (CNIS) with the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) evaluate the energy conserving potential of China\'s domestic home appliance industry as well asÊindustrial equipment that useÊthe lowest standards for energy-efficiency.ÊÊBy 2020, CNIS and ACEEE predictÊthat China will implement energy-efficient standards that could potentially conserve 60 gigawatts a yearÊwhich wouldÊreduce the number of power plantsÊplanned for constructionÊby 200 (each power plant can produce up to 300 megawatts). Such a decrease would could mean that in the next 17 years, domestic consumption of energy could be reduced by 85%. In China, energy-efficient technologies and products are readily available, but presently the country is unable to implement or enforce energy-efficient standards that would promote their use. This report investigates theÊpresent level of energy-efficient industries in China, factories\' ability to produce new energy-efficient products, and trends in the development of energy-efficient technologies in ChinaÊand internationally.

• Asian security and China's energy needs , Dannreuther, Roland
  With China's increasing dependence on imports of oil and gas, the Chinese government has been engaged in defining and implementing an energy security policy. This paper examines the implications of this policy for the security interests of its regional neighbours. It is certainly plausible to construct alarming and realist-driven scenarios whereby China's quest for energy security leads to competition and regional confrontation. However, this paper argues that the prospect for energy interdependence promoting co-operation and an improved regional environment is an equally probable outcome. China's neighbours, and the West more generally, should promote policies that support this more benign outcome.

• China: Energy Policy and Natural Gas Use , Asia Research Centre
  China currently sees natural gas as a major industry with the potential to deliver its long-term economic goals without undue environment harm, and a competitive scramble among prospective suppliers and investors is fast developing. The Chinese government plans to boost domestic gas consumption significantly. Realizing such a high-magnitude boost in demand will require massive capital input and offer a vast array of opportunities for Chinese and foreign investors alike, from exploration and pipeline construction to the building and operation of import terminals and various downstream operations . However, development of the natural gas industry in China is at an early stage and the viability and affordability of such an industry for China has yet to be proven. The book examines background of growth in Chinese gas consumption and outlines some scenarios of future developments in this direction.

• Navigating the Policy Path for Support of Wind Power in China , Raufer, Roger & Wang, Shujuan
  Power generated by wind energy costs about twice as much as coal-fired electricity in China. Yet it has flourished in a number of countries because of governmental policies encouraging its development. Such support is typically justified based upon consideration of environmental externalities, the nascent stage of the renewable energy industry, and subsides already received by conventional technologies. Price and quantity types of wind energy support policies are examined in this paper, along with their relevance for China\'s situation. A wind resource concession mechanism similar in many respects to current oil and natural gas concessions has been proposed for China as another method to promote wind energy development. In order to stimulate such renewable energy in China, a phased approach, shifting from near-term price supports to a longer-term, market-oriented approach, is necessary. China should employ a similar evolutionary strategy for the development of wind resource concessions.

• Searching for Energy Security: The Political Ramifications of China's International Energy Policy , Andrews-Speed, P., Liao, X., Dannreuther, R.
  China\\\'s growing energy needs combined with its limited domestic energy resources dictate that the country will become a player of growing importance on the international energy stage. The government has recognized the need to address a range of energy security issues but has yet to develop a coherent policy. China\\\'s policy has emphasized \\\"strategic\\\" means to enhance security of energy supply rather than market mechanisms. The international components of this policy have contributed to China\\\'s increased diplomatic and economic involvement with energy-rich countries, especially in Asia. Examination of specific policies relating to Xinjiang, Central Asia, Russia, and the Middle East shows that decision-making is driven by complex interplay of political, diplomatic, and economic factors. China\\\'s expanding energy interests need not necessarily pose a threat to the West or its Asian neighbors--instead they can be used as an opportunity to integrate China into existing and new global and regional institutions.

  The authors of this essay argue that the tragedy of the Three Gorges dam extends to the electricity sector and ultimately to the Chinese economy. Rapid technological advances are making big hydrodams obsolete in electricity markets around the world and Three Gorges\' power expensive, compared to cleaner and more readily available alternatives. Economic reforms to decentralize power production in China and to allow private power production are placing those alternatives in direct competition with Three Gorges and other big dams. Meanwhile, economic pressures to shut down money-losing state enterprises have reduced electricity demand, making that competition even fiercer.

• A Study on the Effects of the LIberalization of Oil Prices on Energy Prices and Consumption and Industrial Production Activities , Moon, Y.S.
  It is a very important research topic to evaluate the performance of oil price liberalization on domestic oil product price, oil consumption, and industrial activities. In order to study this topic, we have to understand the background and rationale of the oil price liberalization and how this deregulation is actually affecting the market. Also we need to find out what oil consumer, oil industry and the whole economy actually respond to this policy change. To answer these questions, this research follows the logical step to investigate the impact of international oil price to domestic oil product price, and in turn to the change of oil consumption, and finally to the change of industrial activities. Of course, the various changes of behavior and responses of economic agents themselves are not the sole objective of the oil price deregulation. However oil price liberalization was a shift of regulation regime, it surely had some impact on the behavior of economic agents. We will try to derive policy implications from the understanding on the economic impact of oil price liberalization.
