Coal provides over half of China's primary energy needs but also produces about one-seventh of the world's total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The need for solutions is urgent: China's coal-fueled power generation fleet is expanding at an unprecedented speed. In addition, the country is actively pursuing coal-based liquid fuels to reduce its growing reliance on imported oil.

Report on a workshop jointly organized by the Energy Technology Innovation Project of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, the Expert Committee on Clean Coal Technologies of the 863 High-tech Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology, China, and the China Coal Research Institute on September 19-20, 2005.

The Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group (ETIP) seeks to combat global warming and climate change by promoting strategies for efficient energy technologies in China, India, and the United States, such as advanced coal technologies, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and advanced vehicle technologies.
