Cultural Diversity
Imperative: Collaboration (new mold) > Competition (old mold)
• Necessary for Future Cultural Advancement: coexist in harmony
– Respect, Collaboration, and Preservation of Uniqueness
• China + India (½ of World’s GDP): 200 years ago = by 2050
– Collaborate: create economic security, stability, and equity
• Cultural Complexity: African tribes = Chinese tribes (~55)
– Respect: must understand the people are not the same
• Local Characteristics  Global Impact
– Knowledge and information from individual communities or regions of diversity
can be applied in other comparable locations as solutions in a globalized effort.

which provides 280 MW electric and 350 MW heat (~3% CO2 in flue gas)
• Entered Cooperation Agreement with Sinopec (Shengli Engineering and
Consulting Company – SLECC) for ECO2 feasibility study for a 1 million TPY
CO2 capture facility (~150 MW) on a new coal-fired plant
• Project to provide CO2 for EOR at adjacent Shengli oil field – scheduled
feasibility completion Dec 2012

转变需要过程、示范尤为关键
•
当前，中国正处在产业发展转型的关键时期，下三十年的发展不能再继续走过
去三十年发展的老路，要转为以知识为主的经济开发，在创新、尊重知识产权、
守法、增加透明度等方面寻求突破。
•
前三十年是以香港和深圳为代表的建设和开发，后三十年则是澳门和珠海的时
代。
•
示范项目在经济方面显示的竞争优势最具说服力，而对成功的、有经济价值的
示范项目的推广，势必将发挥其示范效应和积极影响，推进和谐社会的形成和
发展。

案例一：生命光源项目 （食）
• 现代都市农业：
 实现城市土地的高效利用
 确保农业安全生产
4/13/2015
案例二：太阳能城市项目（住）
优点：
技术已经相当成熟；
发电成本也很有竞争性；
被证明其在经济上是可行的；
各方资金支持力度很大。
这样较为成熟
的项目，能促进
中国城市转型，
并实现民生、产
业升级、节能、减
排四大目标。
如果城市能够
提供政策方面的
支持，那么该项
目的市场潜力非
常大。

案例三：风-电-车项目 （行）
风力发电的优点是技术较为成熟、成本相对低、风力资源丰富，但弱点是
稳定性差、不容易储存、对电网冲击大。而电动汽车的电池恰好可以解决
风力发电的储能问题，同时又可以真正实现汽车的零排放。对交通和新能
源的发展都具有突破意义。
但风电稳定性差、电池蓄电、智能电网等瓶颈仍客观存在。

案例四：废物变能源项目
清洁能源公园：集合各类能源相关、低碳相关技术与项目，将研发、示范、
应用和一站式服务融为一体，打造综合能源产业公园项目。
