Zero-carbon investing

The report outlines a strategic framework for zero-carbon investing in China, identifying seven priority technology areas—resource recycling, energy efficiency, demand-side electrification, zero-carbon power generation, energy storage, hydrogen, and digitalization—with a projected market size of nearly ¥15 trillion (US$2.32 trillion) by 2050 and total infrastructure investment of approximately ¥70 trillion (US$10.8 trillion) between 2020 and 2050.

• The transition to a zero-carbon economy in China focuses on seven primary investment sectors: resource recycling, energy efficiency, demand-side electrification, zero-carbon power generation, energy storage, hydrogen, and digitalization. These sectors vary in industrial maturity and market expectations, necessitating tailored policy and market enablers to improve bankability.
• The combined market size for the seven identified zero-carbon investment areas is projected to reach nearly ¥15 trillion (US$2.32 trillion) by 2050. Furthermore, the period from 2020 to 2050 is expected to see approximately ¥70 trillion (US$10.8 trillion) in infrastructure investment leveraged either directly or indirectly.
