Recently the Chinese Think tank iGreen (友绿) released the ‘China Green Real Estate Development 2020 Report’ looking at what has been the biggest driving force behind green development of housing enterprises in China. As green practices and improvements become more necessary to remain competitive in the global housing market, so it comes necessary for practitioners involved in China’s real estate market to become accustomed to making use of green clauses with the well-being of the environment in mind, in addition to adhering to logical business sense. While shrinking barriers restricting access to innovative technologies are a key driving force towards China’s green real estate future, China also urgently needs to develop an index system for evaluating the sustainable development of real estate enterprises in the financial industry.

At this meeting Dr. Juanpeng Huang, iGreen will update members on their just-concluded report and reflect on some of the latest development in the industry. He is joined by Ms Karen Xu, Head of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications from our member company White Peak who will elaborate on market developments and opportunities.

Within the growing renewable energy market, production is increasingly moving offshore, both in a move to capture better and more abundant energy resources as well as for social and logistical reasons. Half of the world’s population lives within 60 km from the coastline, making it a natural match for energy supply and demand. Demand for new-build and converted FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessels and FLNG (Floating Liquid Natural Gas) facilities have increased due to the declining rate of new onshore oil discoveries to historic low levels and also from technology that enables efficient deepwater oil exploration in unprecedented ocean depths.

It is estimated that buildings accounts for 40 per cent of the overall energy consumption in the world, and that people spend on up to 90 per cent of their time indoors. Yet indoor air is five times more polluted than outdoor air. Living in mould and damp buildings can increase the risk of asthma. Therefore, buildings that benefit both people and planet are essential for the sustainable development. It requires relevant stakeholders to join hands and work out a solution from a long-term perspective.

To achieve green energy transition and meet the objectives set out in the COP21 (Paris), and reiterated in COP25 (Madrid), China must focus on energy intensity reduction and create a market for upgrading existing facilities with new efficient and digital technologies, with an emphasis on clean energy even during the pandemic and corresponding drop in energy demand. To recover from the impact of COVID-19 in a sustainable way, China should accelerate investment in upgrading existing facilities with outdated technologies to reduce energy consumption. China has not yet established a framework to control industries’ and buildings’ energy intensity, instead adopting a passive stance based on the anticipated consequences of shifting from a production-driven to a service-driven economy.
