[PDF]East Wind: Prospects for Equipment Manufacturers in China's Burgeoning Wind-Power Sector
For equipment manufacturers, China’s rapidly growing wind sector is quickly bifurcating into a handful of winners and the rest of the pack. The current leaders—largely the country’s "national champions"—are well positioned to maintain and expand their lead. The outlook for other competitors, including the international players that helped build and once nearly dominated the market, is far more challenging. This paper examines the prospects for these different groups of players in China's dynamic wind-power sector. It looks at the forces shaping demand, the current playing field and how it has evolved, and the factors likely to drive future success. It concludes with a checklist of questions that competitors should ask themselves if they hope to remain (or become) viable over the next several years.
September, 2009[PDF]From Gray to Green: How Energy-Efficient Buildings Can Help Make China's Rapid Urbanization Sustainable
China's rapid development has meant new lives and opportunities for hundreds of millions of Chinese. However, this same development has led to rising concerns about some of the problematic by-products of such growth—in particular, the strain on China's environment and natural resources. China's central government has already made significant moves to address these concerns. In fact, there are measures that both achieve environmental goods and avoid economic ills. One of the most effective is improving the operating efficiency of China's buildings. The challenge is aligning the many disparate stakeholders involved. This report identifies and speaks to the role of each stakeholder group as well as indicates some key actions for moving forward.
