US-China Green
Energy Council
Introducing the US-China Green Energy Council
The United States and China face daunting challenges in the areas of energy and environmental security, long-term economic
sustainability and global warming. Energy is at the center of all three and is perhaps the most important issue that must be
solved in the coming decades. While there are no easy solutions, the answers clearly involve increasing energy efficiency in the
short term and developing sustainable, carbon-neutral energy sources over the long term. China and the US need to find ways to
collaborate and support each other in the urgent search for a global solution. We both need to develop cohesive and sustainable
collaborative projects that will yield realistic and effective solutions for global warming, energy security, and environmental
pollution.
The purpose of UCGEC is to facilitate and sponsor high impact Green Energy collaborative initiatives and projects between the
US and China, and to serve as a platform for the integration of policy, business, investment, research and educational projects
between the two countries. We have organized with partners, April Pre-conference in San Francisco, and Beijing Forum in 2008.
In 2009, we have organized seminars on specific industrial task forces on several topics: smart gird, transportation, green
building/eco-city and comparing the US and Chinese stimulus packages. We sent a delegation to Washington, D.C. this year to
inform our government about our activities; we sent a delegation to six cities in China to explore how we could cooperate with
them, and we hosted several groups from China on their visits in U.S. For details please visit http://ucgef.org/en/activities/overview.

General Information
About the 2009 US-China Green Energy Conference
The U.S. and China have in recent years embarked on a remarkable path toward collaboration in developing an integrated
sustainable energy infrastructure. Together we are aggressively pushing for improved energy efficiencies, developing renewable
energy sources, and investing heavily in other green technologies, in both the public and private sectors. UCGEC honorary
Chairman Congressman Mike Honda pointed out that:
“The US-China Green Energy Council is drawing attention to the unparallel potential
for clean energy partnerships between our two countries”
After the successful First UCGEC Conference in Beijing, November 2008, where experts from the US and China in different
energy fields met together, we have organized the Second 2009 US-China Green Energy Conference to be held in October 2009
in Silicon Valley, USA. Silicon Valley is the heart of cleantech innovation and California is a leader in the world’s migration to
sustainability. The focused topics at this conference include, but are not limited to: Green Building/Eco-cities, Transportation/
Electric Vehicles, Renewable Energy, Smart Grid, and Cleantech Investment. There will be a mix of plenary speeches, panel
discussions, networking activities, and tailored follow-up events. We continue the theme of bringing professionals from the U.S.
and China, representing the academic, business and governmental sectors to share their perspectives and plan future collaboration.
The conference and its follow-on activities are designed to extend beyond US-China collaboration to facilitate global
collaborative efforts to develop and adopt better energy technologies, more sustainable economics and more fulfilling lives for
citizens of the world.

A. Smart Grid Panel
Sure-Win Investments Along the Holistic Smart Grid Value Chain
The Smart Grid is the platform for integrating renewable energy generation (solar, wind, etc.), electric cars, smart meters, demand response,
and many more technologies into the electric utility system. It is the key to energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Energy
sources need holistic management to be most effective, China has made a huge commitment to connect remote renewable resources
through a strong smart grid. These panelists will compare the needs and the commitments of key Chinese and US players in these markets.

B. Energy Efficient Eco-City Development
Transforming to an Eco-City in China
Eco-cities are springing up all over the world and serve as a model for future development and growth. To what extent are these net-zero
cities actually feasible? Especially in rural or developing areas? The UCGEC’s esteemed panelists will explore China’s eco-cities and the
challenges China faces with their implementation. The Challenge at Hand: How to create a truly evolutionary vision for the City of Langfang
(an area of 6,429 km2, a population of 763,700) so that it bypasses typical pattern of growth, and instead become one of China’s best models
for turning City of to-day into an Eco-City of tomorrow. The Vision: Langfang represents the next stage of evolution in the Eco-city: taking an
existing community and positioning it for competitiveness in the sustainable future. The Vision is one of the responsible uses of natural
resources, and also of human resources. The Vision is one of not taking Langfang “off the grid” to be sustainable. The Vision is to “redefine
the grid”; that is to redefine what smart, efficient, clean, and natural framework that a city can provide to its People, so that its People can
focus on pursuing a healthier, more prosperous, and advanced lifestyle.
Moderator:
• Ms. Carolina Woo, Moderator, is working on several eco-city projects in China, the latest of which is called Lang Fang.
Speakers:
• Steve Townsend, Director, HOK Planning
• Robert Wise, Team Oregon, Cogan Owens Cogan

General Information
C. Buildings, Eco-Cities and Renewables
Creating Sustainable Prosperity with Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
The foundation for a healthy economy and society is a set of healthy relationships among individuals, communities and nature (air, water,
land, animals and energy flows). We must understand how our built environment, our social organizations and our individual behaviors can
optimize our resources, minimize waste and make us happy. People will disagree on quality of life issues and spend time and energy
accordingly. We will agree and work together more when we understand the facts. Measurement therefore is critical. We must measure the
current baseline, our improvements and our mistakes. Only then can we effectively correct mistakes and continue to improve. Knowing the
facts will help us to preserve diversity (which is critical for innovation) while we maintain viability for the whole community. Buildings
consume approximately 40% of our energy in operation and another 12% in construction and repairs. They are responsible for a similar
portion of total carbon emissions. Energy efficiency, renewable energy and life cycle energy and emissions management have the potential
to make a huge improvement in our quality of life and that of future generations. This Forum will compare experiences in the US and China,
highlight some of the challenges, lessons learned and the huge opportunities ahead of us when we work together.

General Information
D. Transportation
Fleet Electrification, If Not Now… When?
Energy-efficient, and cleantech mass transit is a key area for the U.S. and China to collaborate. Trucks, buses and rail in both countries
consume the majority of ground transportation fuel. China is a nation that depends upon mass transportation and commercial trucking assets
to get it workers to their jobs and products to markets. The recent Chinese stimulus package places higher priority in this area because its
major municipalities must control their fuel consumption & pollution. Whereas the U.S. is a leader in developing cleantech mass transit
solutions using cleaner burning natural gas, battery electric, hybrid electric, and fuel cell technologies, the U.S., by itself, has very limited
available market mass to enable these products and businesses to succeed. The largest U.S. mass transit user is New York City with
approximately 4,000 buses, compared to the top ten Chinese municipalities, each having fleet sizes between 10,000 and 25,000 buses and
an annual new build and replacement rate of over 150,000 buses per year.
This year’s transportation panel examines the viability of alternative-powered mass transit fleets, with focus on whether electrification via
battery, hybrid, fuel cell, or other similar technology will be the key to achieving fuel consumption and pollution reduction at an affordable
cost.

Berkeley Chinese Alumni International Association (BCAIA) was formed in response to a collective desire by students, faculty, alumni and
friends of the University of California, Berkeley with an interest in Greater China to join together in an organized effort to benefit UC
Berkeley. The California Alumni Association officially chartered BCAIA on March 5, 2004. Our mission is as follows:
1) To facilitate academic, cultural and business exchanges between UC Berkeley and organizations in Greater China,
2) to promote and support UC Berkeley programs domestically and in Greater China,
3) to support and foster partnerships with other chapters of the California Alumni Association, and
4) to provide mentorship and career development opportunities to UC Berkeley students and alumni.
