The report stated: "The initiative will help reduce primary energy consumption by 30-45 percent and achieve operational efficiency gains of up to 90 percent, by using district energy infrastructure to link the heat and electricity sectors."
Anshan, a city in northeastern China, was the first city from the Chinese mainland selected as one of 45 champion cities.
Kjeld Stark, president of Danfoss China, believes that district energy has great potential for development in China as the country, which has a relatively high population density and substantial industrial surplus energy, is going through a process of rapid and steady urbanization.
"Danfoss is willing to help more Chinese cities modernize their district energy systems," Stark said.
Stark said: "We hope to see more Chinese cities in the future reports in the next five to ten years."
The Chinese version of the report, the very first of its kind since the initiative was launched in September last year, will be available online very soon.
The sub-forum was co-hosted by the Austrian Embassy to China, Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management, UNEP and Zhejiang University.
The Eco Forum Global Annual conference is an independent, non-profit international organization established in 2009 as the only national forum for fostering sustainable development and eco-civilization in China.
The forum ran for three days from June 26 to 28.
