Since 2014, Energy Foundation China has supported a group of top Chinese think tanks such as the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commissions, Tsinghua University, Renmin University, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to research into the feasiblity of peaking China’s carbon emissions as early as possible and the roadmap to realize it.

This report summarises the results of the 2018 China Carbon Pricing Survey. During April 2018, the survey elicited expectations about China’s future carbon price from stakeholders in carbon markets. Through cooperation with industrial associations, strong efforts were made to survey representatives from China’s carbon-intensive industries, including power, cement, and aluminum, which are already, or soon expected to be, subject to carbon pricing.

This report was compiled by Wang Qingyi, co-founder of the China Energy Research Society, with assistance from the Innovative Green Development Program and support from Energy Foundation China.

Energy Foundation China supported the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences to research on how to push forward the green fiscal and taxation reform in China. The resulting report, released in August 2017, systematically reviews the existing environment-related fiscal and taxation policies, provides principles and roadmaps for a green fiscal and taxation system, and puts the system in an interlinked framework of pricing, taxation, and public finance.
