China has experienced significant economic growth in the past few decades but with that has come a reputation for dangerous levels of pollution. Transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy has been the key to economic growth and energy security in China.

Despite nearly mature solar, wind and hydropower technologies, how to better put such technologies into the wider market is becoming a problem we need to solve in the future. Improving battery efficiency of electric vehicles, expanding charging infrastructure, and introducing supportive benefits and policies for electric vehicles will be the key to reducing air pollution and making transportation and cities cleaner. The cap-and-trade regime is featured with its market-based regulation and economic incentives, giving each regulated company a limited permission of GHG emission and allowing trade of permission between companies. However, a deeper and more comprehensive look into cap-and-trade system is needed to help mitigate climate change.

Several panelists from various backgrounds are invited to talk about renewable energy, electric vehicles and carbon trade system, both in China and across the world. Anyone is welcome to environment panel, Michigan China Forum 2019! Please RSVP for free at:
