This report from The Climate Group shows that China is leading the development and commercialization of a range of low carbon technologies. From a recent article about the report:

With a new breed of entrepreneurs and ambitious government policies, Chinese businesses are amongst the top producers of electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels and energy efficient appliances.

Tony Blair, speaking at the launch event in Beijing, said: "China is already playing an important role in producing and consuming those technologies needed to solve the climate change challenge."

"To beat climate change, we all can and must do more. As well as extending the technologies we already have, we need to speed up the development of important new ones, like carbon capture and storage, large scale solar power and smart grids that will all be essential after 2020.

"A new global climate agreement will set a route map for this to happen and for our journey to a prosperous low carbon 21st century. As one of the world's major economic powers, China will have to be at the forefront of this journey. This report shows that it can be."

This new report -- China's Clean Revolution II: China's opportunity for a low carbon future -- is a synthesis of the latest information on China's progress towards a low carbon economy and aims to keep a-pace with the rapidly evolving green agenda in China, as well as expanding to cover new industries including geothermal power.
