Global Economic Depression – – – – credit & debt supply & demand GDP resource depletion 2. Climate Change – – – – global warming severe weather natural disasters impact on agriculture productivity 3. Social Equity – – – – population standards of living wide gap of social wealth social instability 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. COLLABORATION 4/13/2015 Transparency Competition - challenge Collaboration - opportunity CHINA (22% of world population but limited natural resources): • Ratio of World: 1/3 of cultivated land, 1/4 of water, 1/5 of forest service, 1/10 of oil, 1/22 of natural gas • Of World Consumption: 1/8 of oil supply, 44% of cement, 31% of coal, 31% of crude steel, 25% of aluminum • China alone accounts for 6.6% of the global GDP (2006) Population Distribution Need to create living spaces • Now: 50% of population (urban) ~650 million • By 2035: 75% of population (urban) More than 1 billion 4/13/2015 New Urbanism • China’s Stimulus Plan: develop domestic need • City Planning: Generates small/medium businesses Creates more jobs Causes more money flow Leads to economic security OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Sino-US – Global Impact: China: Early stage – knowledge-based economic development. Great potential – develop new energy technologies & low-carbon economy. The US: Experienced – knowledge-based economic development. Established industry chain – enhances new technology innovations. China & the U.S.: Largest GHG emitting countries Severe climate change consequences Similar low-carbon economy development experiences Each announced new economic recovery plans OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES Sino-US Collaboration – Global Impact: Sino-US collaboration new opportunities and new era of alternative energy technology & energy efficient development. Sino-US collaboration success deliver strong message & set precedent for future global partnerships 4/13/2015 Green Building & Sustainable Community • Recognize and Respect Cultural Diversity • Collaborate as a Global Society 1.

Powerspan joint venture with Huaneng, China’s largest power generator, and cooperation agreement with Sinopec, China’s largest oil company, are WIN-WIN - China partners provide financial strength, low cost supply chain, access to favorable financing, accelerated deployment, and potential customers with large need - Powerspan provides advanced technology, market access and knowledge of western project requirements - Sinopec 1MM TPY unit could be one of first commercial scale CO2 capture units in world for EOR (CCUS) Strategy Priorities - Focus on expanding partnerships with Huaneng and Sinopec to commercial scale projects in US, Middle East, and EU - Other China and US projects are in development phase 32 World impact: a new model of sustainable economic development is imperative Construction over the next 30 years • China's resource use and economic growth mainly in resource-based and labor-intensive industries In the next 3 decades Will "develop a knowledge-based economy" transformation, innovation, respect for intellectual property rights, the law, to seek a breakthrough to increase transparency, build ecological demonstration city with Macau and Zhuhai will be the twenty-first century ecological demonstration city's development. 4/13/2015 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。 4/13/2015 知识为主的经济开发 • • • • • 创新 透明度 保护知识产权 遵纪守法 系统整合 4/13/2015 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。 4/13/2015 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。 4/13/2015 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。 十条建议 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 建立生态智慧城市开发基金 建立生态智慧城市数据管理中心 建立城市区域规划决策中心 建立中小企业孵化中心 建立综合能源服务园区 建立自然资源交易中心 建立区域性和全球性物流中心 建设宜居和谐示范社区 建设世界环境大学 建设生态旅游中心 4/13/2015
