October 21-22, 2009, Silicon Valley: 2nd US-China Green Energy Forum
Crown Plaza Cabana Hotel & Resorts, Palo Alto, CA USA
Organized by US-China Green Energy Council (UCGEC)
The United States and China are the world’s two largest nations in primary energy consumption, petroleum demand, and greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, the U.S. and Chinese public and private sectors have embarked on a remarkable path toward developing a green energy infrastructure by aggressively improving energy efficiency, investing heavily in the development of green energy technologies, and implementing these technologies. These developments are having a profound and positive impact on our quest for long-term economic growth as well as solving the pressing global environmental problems.
The US-China Green Energy Forum is designed to explore ways of forming partnerships and alliances among private parties, non-governmental organizations and public sector organizations in the U.S. and China. The Forum encourages participants to become informed about the challenges facing the development and implementation of green energy technologies. We endeavor to overcome these challenges together by cultivating unique solutions and creating shared benefits.
