China and the United States have reached agreement on a series of partnership projects, ranging from clean coal power generation technology to carbon capture and storage, on the eve of the sixth U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (SED). The U.S.-China Climate Change Working Group has mobilized resources to realize eight projects, including collaboration on clean coal power generation technology by the Huaneng Clean Energy Research Institute and Summit Power Group; and Northern Shaanxi industrialized demonstration of ultra-cleaning technology by Yanchang Petroleum Corp, Air Products and Chemicals and West Virginia University. A special session on climate change was also held during the SED in July. Six new eco-partnerships have been chosen for this year, including ones between the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission and the Port of Los Angeles, the Tianjin Economic Technological Development Area and the Commerce Department of Philadelphia, and the Shenzhen Low-carbon Development Foundation and the Environmental Defense Fund. U.S. Under Secretary of State Catherine Novelli said the initiatives have integrated governments, academia, civil society and the private sectors from both sides to address climate change and air pollution. Altogether 30 partnerships have been selected to date.
