Project Scope
|
This study will examine urban energy use, policies and associated air pollution
challenges faced today by China and the United States in their separate,
distinct energy/economic trajectories. The study will be intended primarily to
assist Chinese cities in assessing their challenges based on the U.S
experience. It includes the dual challenges of continued coal consumption and
rapid increase of private vehicles, in the context of economic needs,
environment and public health. It will identify lessons learned from the case studies, the main technological and institutional opportunities, and areas for continued cooperation between the United States and China. The project will be conducted in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The approximate start date for the project is January 2005.
The project is being conducted with support from the NRC Fund, the NAE Fund,
and Alan Vorhees.
