China has a smog problem and resolving it while reducing the country’s carbon footprint was a major theme of Messe Frankfurt’s recent ISH China show at the New China International Exhibition Center in Beijing.
Held concurrently with ISH China was the inaugural Clean Energy Heating Summit, designed to accelerate China’s move away from burning coal for heat to cleaner electricity and natural gas in order to clear up its legendary smog problem and reduce the country’s carbon footprint. The three-day event welcomed 1,300 international exhibitors — including some familiar names — and 55,000 attendees from around the world to the show’s 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space.
