China\u2019s Energy Research Institute has proposed a \u201c2C Asia\u201d initiative to survey energy supply and demand in Asian nations, and work with them to decarbonise energy systems and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

Jiang Kejun leads the research group behind\u00a02C Asia. He believes that China\u2019s foreign aid needs to be better targeted\u00a0and that funding for the initiative could come from the South\u2013South Climate Cooperation Fund<\/a>, set up in 2015, or the China Clean Development Mechanism Fund<\/a>, which currently supports low-carbon growth domestically.<\/p>\n

The Energy Research Institute is the in-house think-tank of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) which is responsible for energy development plans and industrial policies in China. The name of the initiative is based on the Paris Agreement target of keeping average global temperature rise below 2C.<\/p>\n

A member of Jiang Kejun\u2019s team indicated they have already modelled energy scenarios for major Asian nations for both 2C and 1.5C warming, but they have not made substantive policy proposals yet.<\/p>\n

Rethinking China\u2019s foreign investment<\/h2>\n

How China invests in countries signed up to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) will be crucial to the success or failure of the Paris Agreement. These investments are skewed towards coal power, meaning\u00a0China is driving countries down higher emission pathways not aligned with the Paris Agreement, according to a recent report<\/a> by institutions including Tsinghua University.<\/p>\n

At the second Belt and Road forum earlier this year, Chinese leaders stressed<\/a> the BRI should have a \u201cgreen undertone\u201d and promote sustainable investment. But so far there have only been preliminary discussions about an overseas low-carbon policy framework.<\/p>\n

The 2C Asia initiative is similar to the East Asia Low-Carbon Community proposal put forward in 2016 by another Chinese think-tank, the National Centre for Climate Change Strategy. That\u00a0didn\u2019t garner much attention but it would have brought together the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank<\/a>, the Silk Road Fund, the South-South Cooperation Fund<\/a> and the China Clean Development Mechanism Fund to support low-carbon investments and capacity building in Southeast Asia. Developed economies, such as Korea and Japan, would also have been invited to participate.<\/p>\n

Directing aid at clean energy<\/h2>\n

Jiang Kejun says China\u2019s aid could support subsidies like feed-in tariffs, which have driven spectacular growth in China\u2019s renewables sector, to promote renewable energy across Asia.<\/p>\n

At the moment, China\u2019s climate-related aid is focussed on building low-carbon generation \u2013 primarily hydropower<\/a>, with some wind, solar and geothermal too. China also provides aid and equipment, such as solar panels, to\u00a0Africa, as part of its South\u2013South cooperation efforts. But China\u2019s foreign aid has rarely involved supporting or funding macro activities, such as energy sector policy and planning.<\/p>\n

Mao Xiaojing of the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation (CAITEC) thinks China may consider shifting foreign aid from traditional infrastructure projects, which have high labour costs, towards early-stage funding for clean energy.<\/p>\n

Speaking in November at the Fourth Belt and Road Green Development Forum, she said that energy projects don\u2019t need\u00a0funding because they\u2019re already profitable. Instead, aid can be used in areas where commercial investors are less likely to get involved, such as the early design stage for projects, policy and planning and training programmes for workers in renewable industries. This approach would leverage more commercial loans and encourage better use of clean energy.<\/p>\n

Developing countries also want to improve their use of existing energy infrastructure, according to a survey carried out by CAITEC. Mao Xiaojing said\u00a0China has plenty of experience there and could transfer Chinese technology to help with\u00a0energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

Coal power firms on government \u2018blacklist\u2019<\/h2>\n

Aid is only a small part of China\u2019s foreign spending. The commercial programmes funded by Chinese policy banks\u00a0have the biggest impact on emissions in Asian nations.<\/p>\n

The government can exert some control over policy bank financing through the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), which is responsible for overseeing China\u2019s state-owned firms. Since 2017, it has been tightening up overseas investment, with stricter checks on processes, risks and returns, and which sectors get financed. SASAC\u00a0operates a blacklist<\/a> prohibiting some types of foreign investment by SOEs.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo manage risks, strict control of China\u2019s overseas coal power investments is needed, and Chinese firms should sell off any coal stocks they hold quickly,\u201d says Jiang Kejun.<\/p>\n

Taking Indonesia as an example, recent research<\/a> by Greenpeace and Shanxi University of Finance and Economics found that by 2022 many parts of the country will see a surplus of coal power \u2013 meaning any Chinese coal power investments there run the risk of becoming uneconomical.<\/p>\n

Tong Jiangqiao of Tsinghua University thinks that environmental standards will tighten and carbon costs will become a factor as Belt and Road countries align themselves with the Paris Agreement. Meanwhile, the cost of renewables is falling, increasing the risk that China\u2019s overseas coal power assets will fail to be profitable.<\/p>\n

Chinese firms investing in power projects overseas have their own concerns. As state-owned enterprises, they have an obligation to\u00a0increase the value of their assets, and to provide jobs. Some Chinese companies and academics hold that too strict a blacklist will harm both company competitiveness and the broader national interest.<\/p>\n

To these concerns Jiang Kejun says: \u201cThe strategic significance of the Belt and Road Initiative goes far beyond the interests of a dozen or more coal-fired power plants. Overall, China has no need to develop or export coal technology, because the country\u2019s renewables technology is lower-carbon, greener and more competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Support for renewables firms investing overseas<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to renewable energy firms, overseas investment should be encouraged through simpler approval processes,\u201d Jiang suggests.<\/p>\n

But as things stand, Chinese renewables developers often struggle in overseas markets, where they lack the subsidies and other forms of support they received domestically. With limited assets, these small firms\u00a0struggle to obtain bank loans and cannot shoulder much risk. Furthermore, their overseas investments have\u00a0been hampered by a lack of capital because of delayed subsidy payments from the Chinese government for domestic projects.<\/p>\n

One financial official of a state-owned enterprise (SOE), who preferred not to be named, said that even large SOEs faced problems financing expansion into overseas renewables markets. The same source suggested financial levers could be used to direct corporate behaviour. Policy banks could relax lending standards for clean energy projects, for example.<\/p>\n

Chinese companies looking to invest overseas must also overcome domestic concerns about the effect of renewables on grids. Looking again at Indonesia, the ministry of energy and mineral resources targets 23% of the country\u2019s energy mix to be drawn from renewable sources by 2025. But many of its power generators do not want to see a major expansion of wind and solar, citing intermittency concerns. Rizaldi Boer of Bogor University in Indonesia said disagreements within government are hampering the implementation of climate policies.<\/p>\n

Yan Bingzhong of the China Renewable Energy Engineering Institute has been involved with China\u2019s plans for energy investments in Asian Belt and Road countries. He says particular attention needs to be paid to the scale of renewables development, and coordinated development of power grids and power sources, to ensure local economic needs are met.<\/p>\n

In early November, Jiang Kejun\u2019s team invited government officials and climate scholars from Japan, Cambodia, Laos, Bhutan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia to discuss how they see their energy systems developing, and to better grasp what technologies, experience and funding China might provide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that I\u2019m being radical,\u201d\u00a0says Jiang Kejun, \u201cthere just isn\u2019t much time left to implement low-carbon transitions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
