In the most recent RE100 annual report, China (along with Japan, South Korea and Singapore) is cited as one of the more challenging markets for procuring renewable electricity. However, along with challenges come opportunities for those companies who are willing to move ahead and overcome the barriers and show climate leadership in these markets.
Join this webinar to get up to speed on and navigate the current market trends of renewable electricity sourcing in China. This session will shed light on the rapidly evolving landscape, offering valuable insights provided from a practical perspective based on South Pole’s deep experience in supporting international clients to successfully source Renewable Electricity in China.
Navigating the landscape of sourcing renewable electricity in China can be a complex endeavour, marked by emerging solutions and procurement structures. The dynamic nature of policy and regulation adds further complexity, continually reshaping the market and thereby requiring an agile approach to sourcing.
This focused discussion accompanied by opportunities for questions will cover topics like:
• Current market trends, exploring recent key regulatory updates relevant to corporate sourcing of RE in China
• An analysis of how companies are currently navigating the market and sourcing RE (which solutions are currently the most popular, which are emerging, etc.)
• A deeper look at Green Electricity Certificates (GEC) which, in light of new regulations, are poised to shake up the Chinese Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) market • The current status of Green Power Trading, touching upon retail and wholesale structures that allow companies to contract RE under mid-to-long term contracts.

For many businesses, the main hurdles lie in acquiring reliable and traceable data pertaining to their carbon emission activities. Traditional methods often fall short, making it a challenge, if not an impossibility, to obtain first-hand data for accurate calculation and thorough analysis. This is where digital solutions shine, offering a lifeline to enterprises that aim to streamline and automate these processes.
This seminar will introduce the concept of Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO). EEIO serving as an authoritative methodology to estimate and analyze emissions with heightened efficiency. By leveraging this approach, businesses can avoid the complications often associated with conventional carbon accounting standards.
The seminar will delve deep into how new technology can help businesses to harness data for real-time identification of energy-saving opportunities and how to equip and empower your enterprise to make more informed, sustainable, and financially sound decisions regarding carbon management.
