project, it is planned to provide upfront subsidies for qualified solar
PV demonstration projects with a project size of no less than 500 MW
in the next 2–3 years. By 2015, the newly installed capacity of PV power
systems will be 2.5 GW and the annual output value of PV power will
reach RMB 20 billion in the domestic market. Moreover, some scientific
and technological achievements, e.g., new energy vehicle, LED lighting,
clean energy and smart grid technologies were broadly applied and
demonstrated during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the World
Expo 2010 Shanghai.
Current Status on International Cooperation in Energy and
Climate Related Technologies
China has actively participated in multilateral S&T cooperation on
climate change. It plays an important role in international scientific
programmes and organizations. China has also actively participated
in the preparations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) Assessment Reports. In 2007, MOST and NDRC released the
International Science and Technology Cooperation Programme on
New and Renewable Energies. China also initiated some international
cooperation programmes at the regional level, through which studies
on global change were made, taking into account both China’s unique
features and the global implications.
China has strongly promoted international S&T cooperation with
developed countries. To date, it has signed 103 S&T cooperation
protocols with 97 countries. In 2010, the Ministry of Science and
Technology of China and the German Federal Ministry for Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, signed a Memorandum of
Understanding on Sino-German Cooperation in Climate Protection
and Electric Vehicles and an Agreement on Implementation of Sino-
German Cooperation in Electric Vehicles and Climate Protection. China
and the United States have agreed to invest USD 150 million together
to create a joint Sino-US Clean Energy Research Center. The two
countries will conduct joint research in three priority areas: building
energy efficiency, clean coal/carbon capture and storage (CCS), and
clean energy vehicles. China and EU have held eight conferences
on energy cooperation, and in 2010, the two sides established the
Europe–China Clean Energy Center. In 2007, the Chinese and Japanese
governments signed the Joint Statement on Strengthening Scientific
and Technological Cooperation on Climate Change, and initiated the
China–Japan exchange programme on climate change research. China
has actively cooperated under the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM),
