Publications of this action are as follows:
- Action launching meeting report
- Training modules on Energy Potential Scan (EPS)
- Benchmarking of energy efficiency and industrial emission between EU and China
- Benchmarking of energy efficiency and industrial emission in China
- Fourteen voluntary agreements between local authority and target companies
- Fourteen energy efficiency improvement and/or industrial emission reduction plans
- Training tool-kits on energy efficiency plan and/or industrial emission reduction plan
- Interim and final evaluation reports
- Various internal and external monitoring reports on implementation of voluntary agreements
- Recommendations for incorporating CDM clauses as further incentives for implementing VA in China
- VA Manual for guiding VA implementation throughout China
- 25-30 MoU¡¯s s on adopting LTA (letters of intent) for further implementation of VA¡¯s in China
Other outputs of this action are:
- Fourteen target companies will achieve high environmental standards. Air pollutants¡¯ emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, will be reduced by 3-5% annually and energy efficiency will be improved by 3-5% annually in 2009.
- Additional annual energy savings from these fourteen target companies will be approximately 18 PJ in 2009, which is equivalent to annual energy consumption of 300 thousands urban dwellers. The annual reduction of CO2 emission will be 2 million tons in 2009. The annual reduction of waste water will be 100 million tons in 2009, which is equivalent to annual water consumption of 1 million urban dwellers.
- Three local NGO¡¯s in Kelamayi, Xian and Nanjing will have capacities for spreading innovative environmental policies and getting more public participation in local environmental management.
- Voluntary approaches as an innovative environmental policy will be spread successfully in western Chinese cities of Kelamayi and Xian and deepened in Nanjing. Subsequently VA¡¯s will be spread throughout China and to other Asian countries.
- Local authorities in Kelamayi, Xian and Nanjing will build up their own expertise and capacity for adopting voluntary approaches for improving urban environmental quality. NJRIEP will get skills and experiences on acting as an intermediate organization in implementing voluntary approaches. EMCC will obtain the know-how on voluntary approaches that can be included in its regular national training courses for environmental professionals.
- NDRC and SEPA will also build up their expertise on adopting voluntary approaches. They will have opportunities to include voluntary approaches in their future innovative energy and environmental policies.
- EU partners will learn how EU-specific voluntary models are adapted into the context of urban China, and how to co-operate with Chinese partners for addressing local and international environmental issues like climate change post Kyoto issues.
- Voluntary approaches as an innovative environmental implementation policy will be known by China¡¯s society and promoted by Chinese NGO¡¯s.
