Solar District Heating in the People’s Republic of China: Status and Development Potential
Asian Development Bank | July 2019
Abstract
This publication explores the significant potential of solar district heating to accelerate the integration of renewable energy into heating systems in the People’s Republic of China. This will be important in promoting low-carbon cities and reducing urban air pollution. The study highlights that solar district heating (SDH) can provide high efficiency and reliability as well as environmental benefits. It finds that SDH has considerable market potential in the PRC and proposes practical ways forward. The study will also be of interest to other Asian countries that face similar challenges.

The Impact of ACFTA on People’s Republic of China–ASEAN Trade: Estimates Based on an Extended Gravity Model for Component Trade
Sheng, Yu; Tang, Hsiao Chink; Xu, Xinpeng (Asian Development Bank, 2012-07-01)This paper uses an extended gravity model to shed light on the impact of the free trade area agreement between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the members‘ trade flows and trade patterns. New determinants that capture the rising importance of global production sharing and intraregional trade in parts and components in East Asia are ...This paper uses an extended gravity model to shed light on the impact of the free trade area agreement between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the members‘ trade flows and trade patterns. ... -
The Rise of the “Redback” and the People’s Republic of China’s Capital Account Liberalization: An Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Invoicing Currencies
Ito, Hiro; Chinn, Menzie (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2014-04-07)We investigate the determinants of currency choice for trade invoicing in a cross-country context while focusing on the link between capital account liberalization and its impact on the use of the renminbi (RMB). We find that while countries with more developed financial markets tend to invoice less in the US dollar, countries with more open capital accounts tend to invoice in either the euro or ...We investigate the determinants of currency choice for trade invoicing in a cross-country context while focusing on the link between capital account liberalization and its impact on the use of the renminbi (RMB).
