【侨报记者张苗7月15日南湾报道】“2016美中绿色能源高峰论坛”硅谷召开期间，为向公众更加全面、客观地介绍当前的气候变化、能源转型等问题，增强各界对绿色能源发展和中美能源合作的正确认识，论坛主办方——美中绿色能源促进会安排与会专家答现场媒体记者问。
美中绿色能源促进会主席吴锡九（左5）、中国科学院院士、中国电力科学研究院名誉院长周孝信（右4）、中国国务院参事、中国可再生能源学会理事长石定寰（右3）.
美中绿色能源促进会主席吴锡九在会上介绍了“2016美中绿色能源高峰论坛”的缘起，以及论坛的宗旨和已取得的成绩。他说，巴黎气候协议已经达成，气候变化、能源问题为世界各国所重视，发展绿色能源也成为各国共识。要具体落实巴黎协议，离不开能源消耗最大的中美两国的合作。举办这次论坛，目的就是为中美优秀能源专家搭建交流平台，促进两国间的技术合作，最终带动解决气候变化的任务。
吴锡九介绍，绿色能源的发展步骤为以下5个方面：通过发展再生能源、智能电网、绿色IT、智能交通，最后实现建设智能城市的目标。
于1956年追随钱学森回国的吴锡九，曾参与中国“12年科学规划”。他认为，当今的绿色能源发展计划，和当年的科学规划有着共同之处，因此他对2050年基本解决中美乃至全球空气污染和气候问题充满信心。
被问及中国能源革命过程中，电力系统发展技术上最迫切的需求时，中国科学院院士、中国电力科学研究院名誉院长周孝信表示，可再生能源发电存在间歇性和随机性问题，输出的不稳定性给电力系统造成很大障碍，所以当前最迫切的需求是发展储能、预测风能等先进技术。
中国国务院参事、中国可再生能源学会理事长石定寰介绍了在可再生能源发展领域，中美两国政府和民间两个层面开展的一系列合作。1979年中美签订了政府间的合作协议后，两国展开长期的科技合作。例如在清洁能源方面，朱棣文担任美国能源部长期间，两国成立了几个清洁能源合作中心。他强调，今后中美两国应在可再生清洁能源领域加强合作，尤其应充分利用民间合作的良好机制，搭建平台，促进双方的交流与合作。

為應對全球暖化及氣候變遷，先進國家皆積極尋求能源轉型、推動綠能經濟。美國和中國是全球最大經濟體與能源消耗國，在永續能源的生產和投資方面皆全球名列前茅，也深深影響綠能產業的發展動向。
為促進兩國產業界和政界交流，美中綠色能源促進會攜手其他五個相關組織，聯合主辦「美中綠色能源高峰論壇」，15日於聖他克拉拉進行峰會。
峰會組織委員會主席張曉楓表示，論壇開辦至今已第九屆，「最初多是將美國專家請到中國。但今年許多中國專家、企業、協會都想藉交流機會與國際接軌。」她指出，今年論壇以「構建能源互聯網以應對氣候變化」為題，邀請兩國政府、產業代表分享「能源互聯網」發展現況和成果，讓美中雙方了解彼此需求，盼繼續推動下一代綠能領域及互聯網技術。
美中綠色能源促進會主席吳錫九強調：「解決能源問題一定要中、美合作，且兩國可說是天作之合。」他指出，中國對能源需求龐大，而美國有創新技術、產品，「尤其是引領美國智能電網、互聯網、電動車等技術發展的矽谷更有發展綠能潛力。」
中國可再生能源學會理事長石定寰認為，近年來中美兩地政府與民間的綠能產業合作十分積極，但指出，雙方合作領域以清潔煤、電動車等領域為主，「太陽能、風力等再生能源的合作較少，應加強投入。」
史丹福大學普雷科特能源效率中心（Precourt Energy Efficiency Center）資深研究員格倫娜（Dian Grueneich）與中國綠能產業交流多年，曾在2008年於北京舉辦的首屆美中綠色能源高峰論壇中進行相關產業分析報告。她表示：「中國對創新接受度很高，且具有發展綠能的人才與需求。」如何在創新產業與過往市場、文化、法規等因素間平衡，將是中國未來發展綠能的最大挑戰。
中國科學院院士周孝信表示，中國綠能產業仍須克服儲能與預測能源來源的能力，將隨機度降低，提高使用效率。

由美中多家組織和公司聯合主辦的2016美中綠色能源高峰論壇，昨日在聖他克拉萬豪酒店舉行，以嘉賓演講和論壇形式，全面闡釋今年會議主題「構建能源互聯網以應對氣候變化」。很多嘉賓對中美雙方在新能源和環保領域的合作前景表示看好，認為未來兩國的合作可引領世界前行。峰會請來多位重量級嘉賓，駐舊金山總領事羅林泉、諾貝爾獎獲得者、前美國能源部長朱棣文，先後致辭。朱棣文更以「氣候風險和清潔能源的機遇」為題演講，鼓勵新能源研究者和企業人士。
在會後記者會上，美中綠色能源促進會會長吳錫九表示，在環保和新能源問題上，美中兩國要想有所建樹，必須得加強合作。兩國的合作是毋庸置疑的。
吳錫九說，2008年時，該組織籌劃了第一次峰會項目，預測了未來中國環境惡化的情況。隨後幾年，中國就出現了大規模的霧霾天氣，環境惡化比想像中更加嚴重，這點就說明當年對中國環境的預測並非危言聳聽。所以，能源結構的更改已經到了刻不容緩的地步。

Recap: 2016 US-China Green Energy Summit
July 16, 2016
Long seen as a platform for discussing the latest innovations in the green energy space, the 2016 US-China Green Energy Summit (中美绿色能源促进会) once more brought hundreds of students from the Stanford and GSB Energy Clubs, Stanford faculty, and industry leaders from all over the world to Santa Clara this past week. The 2016 conference, organized by the US-China Green Energy Council, brought together government officials and energy industry leaders from the United States and China to discuss challenges involved with meeting increasing global energy demand while reducing pollution and carbon emissions. It focused on global visions and solutions to combat climate change via the holistic integration of a new Chinese concept called the “Energy Internet”.
“What is the ‘Energy Internet’?” asked Professor Zeng Rong, one of the keynote speakers, head of the Electrical Engineering Department and Director of the Energy Research Institute at Tsinghua University, “First and foremost, it is a smart and integrated grid. Sichuan province is planning to build 30 local area networks and the greater China will expand wide area energy networks pulling energy from the Western provinces like Xinjiang to Eastern coastal areas and urban centers. Second, it is the Cyber– Physical energy system focused on using machine learning and data mining to increase energy efficiency and load matching. Finally, it is the innovative business model that connects non-energy retailers, government entities and equipment providers.”
Among the other keynote speakers on the panel were several Stanford faculty including Nobel Laureate and Former US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu and Senior Research Fellow Dian Grueneich of the Hoover Institution, as well as Professor Xiaoxin Zhou, Honorary President of the China Electric Power Research Institute and Dr. Peng Fang, CEO of GCL New Energy International, one of the leading polysilicon solar cell companies in China. Perhaps the most memorable part of the conference included a speech by Dinghuan Shi, chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, who received a standing ovation for demanding greater scrutiny to the issues of clean energy production and energy efficiency.
A brief history of the Green Energy Industry will show that in 2005 China introduced its first set of renewable energy regulations, which laid the foundation for future policy and planning measures. In the recent 5-year plan, relevant government agencies have promoted a series of practical energy regulation policies on a monthly basis. However, in the 13th 5-year Plan non-fossil fuels will contribute to about 15% of the total electricity generated, while fossil fuels will contribute three times as much.
What is Stanford doing to address these issues and to enhance collaboration with our Chinese counterparts? Dian Grueneich, former Commissioner of the CPUC, responded, “Our new initiative Bits and Watts looks to work with the State Grid Corporation of China. We are building a physical lab, one on campus and one at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). We are looking at the capabilities of the distribution system operator in terms of reliability, safety, and pricing of the system. “The initiative is being headed by Professor Arun Majumdar and Steven Chu, looking to bring advanced data analytics techniques to improve our electric grid. While there was a focus on energy transition to renewable energy, the conference concluded with talks on energy transitions, new energy vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT), and a Climate Action Forum.
The 2017 US-China Green Energy Summit will be held in Chongqing, Sichuan in China next summer.

Collaboration key on green energy, climate: experts
Updated: 2016-07-18 11:01
By Lia Zhu in San Francisco(China Daily USA)
The US and China must work together in developing renewable energy and to battle climate change, said experts attending a green energy summit in Silicon Valley.
“China’s rapid economic growth brought increasing pressure on the environment and air pollution, and the US led the world in green energy innovation,” said Robert Wu, chairman of the US-China Green Energy Council. “We strongly believe the US and China working together is the golden key to address not only the shared issues of the two countries but also the global challenges.”
Wu spoke at the 2016 Green Energy Summit in Santa Clara, California, on July 15, which was hosted by the Silicon Valley-based organization and attracted about 100 experts from China and the US.
The experts all agreed that the climate had been aggravated to an extent that concerted efforts had to be made to fight it. The US and China are the world’s largest economies and polluters.
Steven Chu, former US secretary of energy, told the summit that the temperature had increased roughly 1 degree Celsius since 1880, and glaciers were melting.
“If we go 1 degree warmer, which is the UN goal (the United Nations aims to limit the increase by that amount per year) … there’s a large fraction in Shanghai and surrounding area that would be underwater,” said Chu, showing a map of Shanghai’s sea level.
A 6– to 9-meter rise of the sea level will likely create 500 to 700 worldwide climate refugees and tens of millions of people would be displaced in the Shanghai area alone, according to the map.
The solution for the potential risk is science and technology — energy efficiency in buildings, transportation, the industrial process and elsewhere, Chu said.
Reusable energy, primarily wind, water and solar, could meet 60 percent of the primary energy demand for both the US and China by 2050, Wu said.
The good news was that the price for the technology of solar and wind would continue to decline for perhaps another two decades, Chu said.
“For the next 20 years, you really can expect contracts for wholesale solar and wind being somewhere in the 2–3 cents KWH (kilowatt hours),” he said. “But you need an integrated system that can use these intermittent resources.”
Long-distance transmission is another big deal, and China beat the world in the longest transmission, Chu said.
The country has installed about 60 GW (gigawatts) of high-voltage DC and AC lines, and by 2020, more than 2,000 GW will have been installed.
China just started building a 3,200-km 1.1 MV (megavolt) DC line, which loses only 5 percent of its energy while the vast majority of high-voltage lines in the US are below kV AC, and 85 percent of the power will be lost in a 500 kV line, according to Chu.
China leads the world in hydropower capacity, solar PV capacity, wind power capacity and solar water heating capacity, says the report. By the end of 2015, China had 199 GW of renewable power capacities, ranking the first in the world, which had 785 GW in total.
The US, helped by its high technology, got a handle on air pollution problems, particularly in Los Angeles, about 40 years ago. China has intense air pollution now and has a reason to implement high technology, said Jeffrey Ball, scholar-in-residence at Stanford University’s Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance.
“But the notion that China is simply a taker of American technology is increasingly an outdated notion. Quite sophisticated research and development are going on in China today,” he said.
“There are actually self-interested reasons why both the countries want to collaborate,” he said.

San Francisco, July. 18 – “For some time now, the U.S. and China, being the two largesteconomies in the world, have been of one mind in taking global leadership by agreeing onefforts to achieve their respective carbon emissions goals,” said Mike Honda, U.S.Congressman & Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee at the 9th US-ChinaGreen Energy Summit in Santa Clara, California on Friday.
The United States has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28%below the 2005 level by 2025, and to make “best efforts” to reduce emissions by 28%.Similarly, China announced the intent to peak carbon emissions around 2030 and todouble its share of zero-carbon energy
to 20 percent. In order to meet the challengespresented by this vision, Honda said, “We need to continue investing in research, andcontinue encouraging cross-sector coordination.”
U.S. and China are two of the largest economies in the world, and also two of the world’slargest energy consumers. Two countries nabbed the top two spots on energy productioncapacities and investment volumes in the world. Luo Linquan, Consul General of thePeople’s Republic of China in San
Francisc0o said that the above facts show vast space andprospects of the cooperation between US and China.
“I have had the privilege of observing the progress China has made in the electricity grid since my first meeting here in 1980, and I have a real appreciation for what the collaboration between teams from our two countries can accomplish,” Robert E. Larson,President of
the US-China Green Energy Council told People’s Daily Online.
Wu said in his keynote speech that “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.”
“I’m very impressed with the ability of China to be open in innovation. I am convinced that there is a real openness on many levels in China to think about innovation,” DianGrueneich, Senior Research Fellow at Stanford University PEEC and Hoover Institutiontold People’s Daily Online.
According to Grueneich, comparing to China, innovation in the United States is sometimesmore difficult because it has entered its mature stage. “In China I think that with the openness,
there’s still a learning curve in cultural aspects of how to balance out disruptionin technology and at the same time developing its rules of law and market,” saidGrueneich.
At the USChina Green Energy Roundtable Forum on July 14, experts from over 30technology firms
and organizations in US, China and Europe shared their visions andinsights on four specific topics from Renewable Energy and Global Energy Internet,Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data, New Technology Vehicles and Energy Markets, andSilicon Valley Innovation and Smart City. Participants were asked to address the questionsfrom the security and privacy concern of the IoT users to the gaps in technology to enableDemand Side Management of New Energy Vehicles.
The 2016 Summit on Developing Energy Internets to Combat Climate Change broughttogether government officials from China and US with industry leaders in the ElectricPower, Renewable Energy, Information Technology and Internet Infrastructure. StevenChu, Nobel Laureate and Former US Secretary of Energy also attended the summit.

A 6– to 9-meter rise of the sea level will likely create 500 to 700 worldwide climate refugees and tens of millions of people would be displaced in the Shanghai area alone, according to the map.
The solution for the potential risk is science and technology — energy efficiency in buildings, transportation, the industrial process and elsewhere, Chu said.
Reusable energy, primarily wind, water and solar, could meet 60 percent of the primary energy demand for both the US and China by 2050, Wu said.
The good news was that the price for the technology of solar and wind would continue to decline for perhaps another two decades, Chu said.
“For the next 20 years, you really can expect contracts for wholesale solar and wind being somewhere in the 2–3 cents KWH (kilowatt hours),” he said. “But you need an integrated system that can use these intermittent resources.”
Long-distance transmission is another big deal, and China beat the world in the longest transmission, Chu said.
The country has installed about 60 GW (gigawatts) of high-voltage DC and AC lines, and by 2020, more than 2,000 GW will have been installed.
China just started building a 3,200-km 1.1 MV (megavolt) DC line, which loses only 5 percent of its energy while the vast majority of high-voltage lines in the US are below kV AC, and 85 percent of the power will be lost in a 500 kV line, according to Chu.
China leads the world in hydropower capacity, solar PV capacity, wind power capacity and solar water heating capacity, says the report. By the end of 2015, China had 199 GW of renewable power capacities, ranking the first in the world, which had 785 GW in total.
The US, helped by its high technology, got a handle on air pollution problems, particularly in Los Angeles, about 40 years ago. China has intense air pollution now and has a reason to implement high technology, said Jeffrey Ball, scholar-in-residence at Stanford University’s Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance.
“But the notion that China is simply a taker of American technology is increasingly an outdated notion. Quite sophisticated research and development are going on in China today,” he said.
“There are actually self-interested reasons why both the countries want to collaborate,” he said.

(2016–07-19)“For some time now, the U.S. and China, being the two largest economies in the world, have been of one mind in taking global leadership by agreeing on efforts to achieve their respective carbon emissions goals,” said Mike Honda, U.S. Congressman & Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee at the 9th US-China Green Energy Summit in Santa Clara, California on Friday.
The United States has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 26% to 28% below the 2005 level by 2025, and to make “best efforts” to reduce emissions by 28%. Similarly, China announced the intent to peak carbon emissions around 2030 and to double its share of zero-carbon energy to 20 percent. In order to meet the challenges presented by this vision, Honda said, “We need to continue investing in research, and continue encouraging cross-sector coordination.”
U.S. and China are two of the largest economies in the world, and also two of the world’s largest energy consumers. Two countries nabbed the top two spots on energy production capacities and investment volumes in the world. Luo Linquan, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in San Francisco, said that the above facts show vast space and prospects of the cooperation between US and China.
“I have had the privilege of observing the progress China has made in the electricity grid since my first meeting here in 1980, and I have a real appreciation for what the collaboration between teams from our two countries can accomplish,” Robert E. Larson, President of the US-China Green Energy Council told People’s Daily Online.
Wu said in his keynote speech that “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.”
“I’m very impressed with the ability of China to be open in innovation. I am convinced that there is a real openness on many levels in China to think about innovation,” Dian Grueneich, Senior Research Fellow at Stanford University PEEC and Hoover Institution told People’s Daily Online.
According to Grueneich, comparing to China, innovation in the United States is sometimes more difficult because it has entered its mature stage. “In China I think that with the openness, there’s still a learning curve in cultural aspects of how to balance out disruption in technology and at the same time developing its rules of law and market,” said Grueneich.
At the US-China Green Energy Roundtable Forum on July 14, experts from over 30 technology firms and organizations in US, China and Europe shared their visions and insights on four specific topics from Renewable Energy and Global Energy Internet, Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data, New Technology Vehicles and Energy Markets, and Silicon Valley Innovation and Smart City. Participants were asked to address the questions from the security and privacy concern of the IoT users to the gaps in technology to enable Demand Side Management of New Energy Vehicles.
The 2016 Summit on Developing Energy Internets to Combat Climate Change brought together government officials from China and US with industry leaders in the Electric Power, Renewable Energy, Information Technology and Internet Infrastructure. Steven Chu, Nobel Laureate and Former US Secretary of Energy also attended the summit.
