This publication is the China Greentech Initiative’s (CGTI) third edition of the China Greentech Report. The Report is a product of the China Greentech Partner Program, through which well-informed, well-connected and highly-involved industry executives, policymakers and other experts participate in CGTI’s strategic research and collaborate on activities. Together, we are working to accelerate China’s green growth. CGTI’s China Greentech Report is published annually with the objectives of educating the public, aligning stakeholders, and raising awareness about the opportunities and challenges facing China’s greentech markets. While participants in the China Greentech Partner Program have access to CGTI’s proprietary in-depth market analyses, Working Sessions and senior executive events throughout the year, the annual China Greentech Report summarizes insights from the previous year’s work in a single publication. The Report gives readers a broad perspective of changes underway in China’s greentech markets relating to demand, competition, policies, regulations, financing and technologies. After its launch at the World Economic Forum, theChina Greentech Report 2009 quickly became the primer for understanding China’s rapidly changing greentech markets. The China Greentech Report 2011 and China Greentech Report 2012 have built upon the success of the first Report, while providing deeper insights into trends and opportunities in greentech markets. The Reports are the institutional point of view of CGTI, which is informed by 500+ decision-makers and influencers from 100+ organizations that make up the CGTI community. Without this community and the individuals that fuel it, CGTI would not hold the unique position as the most authoritative third-party neutral organization dedicated to accelerating China’s green growth. Please see the Acknowledgements section of this Report where we offer our appreciation of contributing Partner companies, organizations and individuals. The Report, distributed free online, gets further disseminated via CGTI Partner channels and can be purchased in printed form by individuals via the CGTI website. To date, the China Greentech Report has affected tens of thousands of people and, as a result, CGTI’s Partner companies and organizations have become recognized for their leadership in accelerating China’s greentech markets. The China Greentech Report 2012 has many uses—as context for corporate decision-making,
