Project description
EU and China collaborate to tackle climate crisis
The transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society is critical as both Europe and China face increasing environmental challenges. Energy-intensive industries are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, requiring innovative solutions to decarbonise effectively. Accurate emissions data and advanced modelling are essential for developing sustainable pathways. Collaboration can enhance these efforts through sharing knowledge and technology. In this context, the EU-CHINA BRIDGE project supports this transition by jointly advancing technology innovations and decarbonisation roadmaps. It combines cutting-edge modelling and comprehensive emissions data to quantify net-zero pathways. Engaging stakeholders from both regions, the project will deliver open-source technology inventories and co-implement demonstrations in China. This collaborative effort aims to drive global transformation towards sustainability.
Objective
EU-CHINA BRIDGE will support the transition to a climate-neutral and resilient society in both Europe and China by jointly advancing knowledge on technology innovations and roadmaps for decarbonising energy intensive industries, co-creating innovative modelling by combining cutting-edge bottom-up and integrated assessment modelling to quantify net-zero sustainable pathways, and developing the most updated and comprehensive emissions data. It will intensively engage relevant stakeholders from both regions, enhancing dialogues, and fostering mutual learning among policymakers, industries, and experts. It will deliver two open-source EU-China joint technology inventories of promising net-zero emission technology options for the iron & steel and chemical industries, two co-implemented demonstrations of promising technologies in China, and co-created scale-up paths and roadmaps of the selected industrial technologies in both regions. It will also develop the most up-to-date, high-resolution, multi-sectoral, national and regional GHG and short-lived climate pollutant emission inventories as well as dynamic monitoring of key emission sources at high spatiotemporal granularity. A state-of-the-art modelling framework will be developed, exploiting and advancing cutting-edge and established modelling tools for EU and China, using the latest emissions data, representing technology and policy options, enabling assessment of socioeconomic impacts, covering multiple economic sectors and regions, and offering high spatial and technology detail. The enhanced models will be used to co-produce net-zero pathways for the EU and China, explicitly assessing co-benefits and trade-offs of climate policies with other societal goals while exploring cooperation policies and governance to drive the global transformation, and assessing the distributional and global-level implications of the two regions’ decarbonisation. The pathways will be documented in new workspaces in the I2AM PARIS platform
