The document discusses the work of Prof. Li Zheng and the Tsinghua-BP Clean Energy Research and Education Center. It summarizes their polygeneration research which converts coal into a cleaner gaseous fuel for electricity generation and as a petroleum substitute. This could reduce China's carbon emissions from coal and dependence on oil imports. It also describes the Center's research focus on clean coal power systems, energy policy studies, and renewable energy.

Tsinghua-BP Clean
Energy Research and
Education Center's most
promising project is a
new technology called
polygeneration, by
which coal is converted
into a cleaner gaseous
fuel that can both
generate electricity and
be processed into a
petroleum substitute.
Polygeneration could
cut the carbon
emissions China
generates by burning its
copious coal reserves
and reduce its
dependence on oil
imports.

Tsinghua CEC and Renewables
 BP sponsored China’s Renewables Roadmap project this year at the CEC
 The CEC also hosted a major project for the Global Status report for
Renewables (which will be featured at the International Renewables
Conference 2005 next week in Beijing)
 BP is learning about and providing support for renewable technologies
such as biomass pelletization, combined heat and power and air
conditioning and lubricants for wind power
