申请者开展的多联产研究工作——该杂志发行量约5千万本
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
