Intro Benefits of Clean Energy
The aim of NRDC's China clean energy project is to support China's
efforts to develop a sustainable energy system that maximizes energy
efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.
For many years NRDC has worked to advance sustainable energy use
in the United States and abroad. In 1996, after joining a clean-energy
delegation to China at the request of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and Department of Energy, NRDC launched the China clean energy
project.
Since that time, several Chinese partners have asked NRDC's project
team to share its experience promoting economically sound environmental
policies. NRDC works at the national level in China with key agencies
and organizations, and also works with their local counterparts
in several regions and cities, including Beijing, Chongqing, Jiangsu,
Shandong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shanxi and Shenzhen. The China clean
energy project presently focuses on three areas:
Green Buildings
Clean Power
Sustainable Transportation
