Following decades of ignoring the environment, China has become a
global leader in air and water purification, solid waste
management, and wastewater treatment with dramatic growth
especially in solar and wind power while major outstanding problems
include continued reliance on coal and other fossil fuels
especially in power plants and heavy industry. Concise Encyclopedia
of Green Technology in China provides a basic understanding of
green technology in the environmental and economic policies of the
People’s Republic of China (PRC). Green technology is defined as
any technology used to mitigate or reverse the deleterious effects
of human activity on the natural environment, green technology
involves the application of multiple environmental sciences
including green chemistry, material sciences, and hydrology along
with utilization of renewable energy sources such as geothermal,
solar, tidal and wave, and wind power. Innovative technologies
developed in China include mass production of electric vehicles
(EVs), development of photovoltaics along with electronic devices
for remote sensing, monitoring, and utilization of enhanced
computer power for the analysis of big data.
