Tsinghua University is considered by many the top engineering school in China. In the field of energy efficiency, Tsinghua University has been very active and different departments and research centers within the university have been conducting research in this area. There are several studies on energy efficiency in the cement, iron and steel, and electricity generation industries conducted by Tsinghua University. 

In 2006, researchers from Tsinghua University and the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) published an assessment of the GHG emissions and mitigation potential for China’s cement industry which produced marginal abatement cost curves for 2010, 2015, and 2020 and documented the costs and emissions reductions from the adoption of 12 mitigation options under three scenarios (Tsinghua and CCAP, 2006). In 2009, Tsinghua University and CCAP published the follow up report on Analysis of Implementation of GHG Mitigation Measures in China (Tsinghua and CCAP, 2009).
