Energy Efficiency Business in China: A Roadmap For American Companies

Abstract

China represents an emerging market for American energy efficiency technologies. Rapid growth and market reforms are driving increased demand for foreign investment and advanced technologies that will help China meet its energy needs while protecting its environment. The industrial sector is a particularly promising area for energy efficiency investments because many enterprises use equipment and processes that are decades old. Energy efficiency technologies for new buildings and appliances are also in demand. Barriers to doing business in China are significant, but can be overcome by companies that commit themselves to a long-term business development strategy. Companies interested in investigating these opportunities can take advantage of a variety of organizations, services, and events created to help them do business in China.
