1.1 Introduction
Although China and India are late developers of climate-friendly
technologies, they have made impressive progress in recent
years. The energy use of the most energy-intensive industrial
products decreased in 2010 over 2000. Table 1.1 shows that although
China has made remarkable progress in energy efficiency of major
energy-intensive industrial products since 2000, it still lags behind the
international advanced level.
