R&D Program (863 Programs). It had systematically deployed a number 2.1
of research projects for developing energy conservation technologies
and new energies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. These
projects have provided effective technological supports and reserves
for addressing climate change.
Vigorously pursuing R&D in energy-conservation technologies:
Under the 863 Program and S&T Enabling Program, MOST has
launched a series of R&D projects, e.g., technologies for efficient use
of clean energies; energy conservation technologies and equipment
used in key industries; key energy-saving technologies and materials
for buildings; technologies used for integrated resource exploration
and development, ecological management and restoration; and key
technologies and equipment for clean production in major industries.
Actively promoting R&D of new energies and other mitigation
technologies: MOST has deployed a number of projects on
development and utilization of renewable or new energies and key
smart-grid technologies. Among them, the carbon capture, utilization
and storage, CO2 reduction and utilization for blast furnace iron-
making, high concentration CO2 capture and geological storage in coal-
to-oil production, CO2 capture from oxygen-enriched combustions,
integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) with carbon capture,
CO2utilization and storage, CO2 mineralization, biodiesel production
from bio-fixation of CO2, for example—by microalgae, have been
deployed by MoST under its S&T Enabling Program.
Current Status on Technology Demonstration and
Industrialization
The Government of China has launched a number of energy
conservation and new energy technology demonstration projects, e.g.,
‘Ten Cities-Thousand New Energy Vehicles’, ‘Ten Cities-Ten Thousand
LED Lamps’, and ‘Golden Sun’. Under the ‘Ten Cities-Thousand New
Energy Vehicles’, it was originally planned to promote the use of
hybrid electric, all electric and fuel cell vehicles in the public transport
sector in more than ten cities in a modular manner.
By 2010, the demonstration pilot cities under this project had
increased to 25. Under the ‘Ten Cities-Ten Thousand LED Lamps’,
which is a scheme to promote common use of semi-conductor lighting
products for quicker development of the industry, the LED lighting
pilot cities are 37 at present. It is estimated that LED lighting will
account for 30 per cent of China’s general lighting market by 2015,
saving more than 100 billion kWh each year. Under the ‘Golden Sun’
