China’s Cooling Imperative

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

China’s Cooling Imperative is an Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) report, commissioned by the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP). The findings are based on an extensive literature review, an expert interview programme and a modelling exercise conducted by The EIU between January and March 2020.
China is the world leader in emissions from cooling, comprising roughly one third of global cooling emissions. As rapid urbanisation and economic development continues, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) expects that cooling emissions could grow to 2,005 Mt by 2030, representing a 48% increase over 2019 levels. In this report, The EIU assesses the main policy levers available to the Chinese government for greening the cooling sector and quantifies the impact on future greenhouse gas emissions.
