Technical Assessment of an HFC- 134a Phase-Out in the Chinese Light-Duty Motor Vehicle Sector
We generally combine data derived from China-specific studies with more robust data developed to support air conditioning system analysis in the US to develop a complete analysis dataset.To evaluate the emissions impacts associated with a transition away from HFC-134a, we also develop a set of corresponding MAC system data for three alternative refrigerants: HFC-152a, HFO-1234yf, and CO2 (R-744).

Public Private Partnership for Building Energy Efficiency
The report finds that, the funding gap in building energy saving will expand to 1.53 trillion RMB in the next five years, but the current government-led investment model is proved to be unaffordable and unsustainable. It is an imperative to attract private capital to the field, which will not only broaden funding channels, but also stimulate innovation and application of energy-efficient technologies and advanced management methods.

Driving Forces of Low Carbon Development in Chinese Communities
Through questionnaires and field interviews in typical communities, this report analyzes the current status and possible trends of China's low carbon communities, identifies their problems in terms of policy, funding, and technology, and proposes feasible solutions.
It helps to better understand the status quo, and provides a pathway of promoting low carbon development in communities first, and then expanding them to the city level.
The research was supported by Energy Foundation China and released by the Institute for Sustainable Communities and the Beijing Chaoyang Yuheng Sustainable Transportation Research Center in 2017.
