US to help China clean air for ‘08 Olympics
19 April 2005 by Hydrogen PowerThe US is assisting China to meet clean air standards in time for the 2008 Olympic games. For China, the Olympics are a great incentive to make strides in this area and the US has pledged to cooperate with Beijing in its efforts.
The JWG (Joint Working Group) identified 10 areas for cooperation – natural-gas technology; combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP); clean coal; hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicle demonstration; environmentally friendly buildings; urban transportation; air quality; water quality; solar photovoltaics; and a Beijing-Chicago Friendship Cities Initiative to promote local environmental activities.
There is also going to be a hydrogen park:
Gebert said a Hydrogen Park in the Olympic Village will demonstrate hydrogen technology by operating five buses using Hythane® technology – a mix of hydrogen and natural gas.
We’ve earlier noted China’s ambitious hydrogen plans.
