China’s overall “1+N” climate action framework is taking shape to drive peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060 (the “30/60” goals).

On June 6, 2022, with the support of Energy Foundation China, the Beijing Municipal Institute of City Planning and Design and the Peking University Territorial Planning and Design Institute jointly held an expert workshop to review their research and demonstration project that aims to structurally optimize Beijing’s pedestrian and bicycle systems through integrating the three networks of pedestrian-bike lanes, greenways, and waterfront spaces.

Energy Foundation China has long concerned ourselves about low carbon systems of Chinese cities. We support research on national low carbon policy, test comprehensive/special planning for pilot cities, and explore innovative low carbon solutions to help Chinese cities realize early carbon peaking and neutrality.

The Building Energy Conservation Center at Tsinghua University and Energy Foundation China (EF China) held a symposium on March 28, 2022, presenting cases of demonstration projects for the new “PEDF” building power system—a combined photovoltaics, energy storage, high efficiency direct current power, and flexible load system.
