About us:

• Energy Strategy Research Center, Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion (GIEC), CAS, Established in 2003

• An interface between technology, economy, society and environment

• Its aim is to enlarge the science and technically oriented disciplinary spectrum of the GIEC domain by contributing to research and teaching in energy policy and economics.

• Host the Guangdong CDM Center• Host the South China Climate Change Network

About us: The Energy Strategy Research Center are engaged in:

• Energy policy and development strategy plan.

• Evaluation of sustainable energy technologies. Some measures and policies for the preferential energy technologies and energy efficiency technologies are discussed to ensure their diffusion and industrialization.

• Research on energy security and climate change, e.g. low-carbon economy development and CDM capacity building: Policies and strategies of energy security and climate change; Analysis and research on climate change useful technical innovation diffusion model; Potential and cost analysis of GHG emission reduction technologies.

• What we are doing?

Low carbon planning in citiesLow carbon planning in cities

Guangzhou

• Green economy put forward in 2010 Guangzhou congress meeting

• Guangzhou new and renewable energy planning approved by Guangzhou government on 26th, May 2009.

• In Oct, 2009, Low carbon development experience sharing with Japan, Guangzhou Economic and Trade Commission

Shenzhen

Shenzhen government issued many incentive mechanisms to encourage retrofitting of building, development of solar energy, electric vehicles.

Shenzhen Energy Group launched Asian Carbon Exchange Market.

Shenzhen DRC commissioned GIEC and Urban Development Research Institute to work out low carbon development planning

• What Our expectation is throught this visit?

What Our Expectations are from this Visit

• Building the low-carbon roadmap plan

• Recommending policymaking package

• Help to integrate the low-carbon plan into the 12th Five-Year Plan

Domestic:Domestic:

What Our Expectations are from this Visit

• Learning and understanding experience and institutional innovation in U.S in GHG mitigation and low-carbon development

• Facilitation for technology transfer • Let U.S. experts know that China is making

efforts in its mitigation action, but international experience sharing is needed to make effective progress

• Establish a wide relationship with the U.S. counterparts and those who are interested in China’s action plan
