Amid grow­ing Cal­i­for­nia-Chi­na clean ener­gy part­ner­ships RAEL is part­ner­ing with both research and deploy­ment part­ners in Chi­na to accel­er­ate the decar­boniza­tion agen­da.  In efforts with Tsinghua Uni­ver­si­ty, Chongqing Uni­ver­si­ty, and North Chi­na Elec­tric Pow­er Uni­ver­si­ty, among oth­er aca­d­e­m­ic part­ners, as well as with local and fed­er­al part­ners in Chi­na, RAEL is work­ing to accel­er­ate the deploy­ment of elec­tric trans­porta­tion, address air and water pol­lu­tion, and to explore alter­na­tives to the devel­op­ment-envi­ron­men­tal degra­da­tion nexus.  RAEL doc­tor­al stu­dent Anne-Per­rine Avrin, who spoke on here work at a recent RAEL Lunch Sem­i­nar, is cur­rent­ly work­ing with col­leagues in Chi­na on elec­tric vehi­cle adop­tion strate­gies (of the 2 mil­lion elec­tric vehi­cles in use world-wide, 1 mil­lion are in Chi­na and over 200,000 are in Cal­i­for­nia).
