The purpose of this conference is to bring together leaders of our respective countries in all areas related to ensuring the supply of inexpensive, reliable energy to drive our two economies while improving the environment on a world-wide basis. Our countries each face major energy and environmental concerns, while between us we have the talent and resources to make major progress in these areas. The immediate goal of the conference is to make introductions between colleagues from both countries in specific areas and to exchange information on what each of us is doing to ad- dress the problems. More importantly, the long-term goal of the conference is to initiate cooperative efforts between teams from both coun- tries in technology, academia, business, investment, and government policy. To this end the organizer of the conference, the U.S.-China Green Energy Council, will continue its efforts after the conference to stimulate the formation of cooperative efforts from both sides to work together for the greater good of the world. We look forward to two exciting days of conference sessions, meetings, and person-to-person introductions, but most importantly to future collaborative efforts on the part of all of us. Sincerely, Acaemician Zhongxian Zhao Dr. Robert E. Larson Professor Robert Shih Chiu Wu Co-Chairmen of the Conference 欢迎辞 我们,中美绿色能源论坛的联合主席,热忱欢迎大家来参加这个盛会。这个论坛的目的是,让两国有关领域的领袖人物聚在一起, 探讨廉价可靠的能源供应,以促进两国的经济并改善全球范围的环境。我们两国都面临各自的严峻的能源和环境问题,同时我们之 间又拥有能在这些领域作出重大进展的人才和资源。论坛的直接意图是介绍两国各具体领域的同行进行接触,交流各自的工作进展。 论坛更重要的长期目标在于,在技术、学术、商业、投资和政府政策各领域,创立两国团队之间的合作项目。为达此目的,论坛的 组织者将在会后持续努力,促进两国的合作事业,为全人类造福。 我们兴奋地期待这两天的大会、分组讨论和个人之间的交流,我们更强调我们之间未来的合作关系。 真诚的 论坛联合主席 赵忠贤院士 罗伯特·拉森博士 吴锡九教授 6 About the US-China Green Energy Conference As the world’s No. 1 and No. 2 nations in primary energy consumption, petroleum demand, and greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. and China have in recent years embarked on a remarkable path toward developing a sustainable energy infrastructure, aggressively pushing for improved energy efficiencies, developing renewable energy sources, and investing heavily in other green technologies, in both the public and private sectors. These developments are having profound and positive impacts on our quest for long-term economic growth as well as solv- ing the pressing global environmental problems. The US-China Green Energy Conference is designed to explore ways to form partnerships and alliances among private parties, non-govern- mental organizations and public sector organizations in the two countries. We encourage all stakeholders to learn to understand the barriers and to identify how each can contribute to overcoming them and create shared benefits. We are convinced that when governments, educa- tors, and investors join together with innovative businesses, they will find ways to maximize positive results for themselves, the planet and each other. Therefore, this conference brings together Chinese and US leaders in four fields: business, technology, academia, and policymaking, to ex- change experiences and explore ways to collaborate concretely on real projects that address the critical issues of energy self-sufficiency and environmental sustainability. It follows a companion event, the US China Green Tech Summit in Shanghai November 12-14 that focused on business opportunities in Green Tech (more on this below). More than 100 experts from the U.S. and China will participate in Beijing as pan- elists and speakers, and more than 500 attendees will join them to learn from each other and to find allies. Attendees include central and provincial level officials responsible for energy and environmental policies in the US and China. Scholars, technologists, opinion leaders, edu- cators will join with business executives and global investors who are looking for green energy investments. The conference and its follow- on activities are designed to facilitate global efforts to develop and adopt better energy technologies, more sustainable economics and more fulfilling lives for citizens of the world. The US-China Green Energy Council (UCGEC) partnered with the Chinese Association for Science and Technology (CAST) to host this confer- ence. Professor Han Qide, Vice Chariman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and President of CAST, and US Sena- tor Diane Feinstein are Honorary Co-Chairs with Chairmen Zhao Zhongxian, Academician, Chinese Academy of Science and Vice President of CAST, Professor Robert Wu and Dr. Robert E. Larson.

  • China Energy Report Brief
    ENERGY FUTURES AND URBAN AIR POLLUTION Challenges for China and the United States (2007) The United States and China are the number one and two energy consumers in the world, with China being the largest emitter of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and both countries leading the world in carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) due to their extensive use of fossil fuels (Figure 1). To examine the energy use and urban air pollution challenges faced by these two countries, the U.S. National Academies, in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed Energy Futures and Urban Air Pollution: Challenges for China and the United States. This comparative study identifies lessons learned from case studies of four cities (Pittsburgh and Los Angeles in the U.S. and Huainan and Dalian in China), addresses key technological and institutional challenges and opportunities, and highlights areas for continued cooperation between the U.S. and China on energy and air quality issues. The report is geared towards policy- and decision-makers at all levels of government as they seek to balance urban energy consumption with air quality management. It is the hope that the report is of value to policy and decision makers not only in China but also in the U.S. and other countries worldwide.

    2013 October EURAXESS LINKS Issue 42 CHINA Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the October edition of the EURAXESS Links China Newsletter. This month’s EU Insight takes a closer look at the assessment of the European Research Area (ERA). This edition also features an article drafted on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Helmholtz Association’s Beijing Office. The Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organization. It looks back on 10 years of fruitful cooperation with China and it looks ahead to new promising fields for research collaboration in the future. Following up on the very successful and first-of-its-kind EURAXESS Science Slam China organized this year, the movie of the final event which took place on 26 September in Beijing is now available online. The winner, Dr. Yu Yang from Wuhan University, will leave to Brussels later this month to attend the "Raising Researchers' Voices - opinions on jobs, careers and rights" conference orgabnized by EURAXESS on 21-22 November. More information can be found here. Regarding upcoming EURAXESS Links China activities, we now invite all researchers and other stakeholders who are members of joint research structures or interested in this form of cooperation to register now for the 2nd EU-China Workshop on Joint Research Structures (JRS) In China, 22 November 2013, Beijing. The registration deadline is 12 November. Researchers and other R&I stakeholders active and interested in urbanization cooperation with China should consider registering for the EU-China Urbanisation Forum (and in particular for the sub-forum on EURAXESS LINKS CHINA ‘Creative/Innovative Cities’) to be held on 20 November 2013 in Beijing, in parallel to the EU-China Summit.
