US-China Green Energy Conference: Beijing 2008 2008 US-China Green Energy Council China Association for Science and Technology 尊敬的吴先生: On occassion of US-China Green Energy Forum 我写这封信来跟进我们的谈话。我确定我会出席并担任中美绿 Work together to develop green energy 色能源论坛荣誉主席,而且参议院的日程也允许我出席会议。 我很高兴能够参加11月在上海和北京举办的绿色能源论坛。 Protect sustainable environment for human kind 正如你们所知,美国和中国一道提出当今气候变化问题和主要 环境挑战是很重要的。如果没有两个最大的温室气体排放国承 Autumn two thousand and eight 诺减少排放量,以稳定大气温室气体浓度和制止全球变暖,只 有其它国家的努力是不够的。 我相信,11月16日至18日的中美绿色能源论坛对于美国和中国 将是一个重要的对话机会,以共同探讨克服气候变化的途径来 刺激经济繁荣。我非常期待与您和我的中国同事们一起探索出 一条前进的道路,以减少全球温室气体排放并改善美中关系。 谢谢您组织了这次会议,并对您的领导工作表示赞赏。 此致 Dianne Feinstein 美国参议员 2 “Right now I think we in China pay more attention to how to use electricity from wind power, including the storage of the power.” Zhongxian Zhao 赵忠贤 “One of the most important things is to identify the common interests between the US and China, then we focus on that and move ahead.” Robert Wu 吴锡九 “This week my colleagues and I in the House passed a major piece of legislation that would take us boldly forward in bolstering federal efforts to encourage energy conservation and research into and development of renewable energy sources.“ Mike Honda “I have had the privilege of observing the progress China has made in the electricity grid since my first meetings here in 1980, and I have a real appreciation for what the collabora- tion between teams from our two countries can accomplish.” Robert Larson 3 Table of Contents About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 About UCGEC ..........................................................................................2 4 目录 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 关于美中绿色能源促进会 ..................................................................................................2 5 Welcome to the Conference As your Co-Chairmen, we are pleased to welcome you to the U.S.-China Green Energy Conference. 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.
