CHINA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY NEWSLETTER Department of International Cooperation No.3 Ministry of Science and Technology(MOST)，P.R.China November 2012
Hu sees major role for science
President Hu Jintao focused on sectors that will play a major role in science and technology during a keynote speech in Tianjin on Tuesday to the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World. The academy, based in Italy, changed its name in 2004 from Third World Academy of Sciences. It is an umbrella organization for leaders in the science and technology field in developing countries. Hu, in his address to the academy, highlighted the breakthrough potential for prime research fields, including biology, energy and space technology. Hu pointed out that in 2006 China published a science and technology development plan plotting strategy up to 2020. This listed projects that will ensure China plays a leading role in the sector. China still faces challenges, especially in sustainability and tackling income disparity and that is why the economic development pattern must change. The targeted technologies will help in this endeavor. Cooperation with other developing countries was extremely valued, particularly in dealing with common problems such as the prevention of infectious diseases.

Targets in the 12th Five-Year Plan Period
Ø By 2015, the country's energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of the GDP will be reduced to 0.869 tons of coal equivalent (based on prices in 2005), which is 16 percent lower than the 1.034 tons of coal equivalent in 2010 and 32 percent lower than the 1.276 tons of coal equivalent in 2005. In the 12th Five-Year Plan period, 670 million tons of coal equivalent of energy will be saved. Ø In 2015, the country's chemical oxygen demand and emissions of carbon dioxide will be controlled at 23.48 million tons and 20.86 million tons, respectively, 8 percent lower than the 25.52 million tons and 22.68 million tons in 2010. Ø Emissions of ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrogen oxides will be controlled at 2.38 million tons and 20.46 million tons respectively, which are 10 percent lower than the 2.64 million tons and 22.74 million tons in 2010.

Progress made in the 11th Five-Year Plan Period Ø The energy consumption elasticity coefficient dropped to 0.59 from 1.04 in the 10th Five-Year Plan (2001-05) period, saving energy of 630 million tons of coal equivalent. Ø Emissions of carbon dioxide were reduced by 1.46 billion tons. (Source: 12th Five-Year Plan on Energy Saving and Emission Reduction)
R&D Targets
China aims to become a world technological power by 2049 and strives to be a leading nation in innovation and scientific development, according to a government document released on September 23,2012. The Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, the nation’s cabinet, released the document to give opinions on “deepening technological system reform and accelerating national innovation system construction.” The document sets the goal for the country to be “in the ranks of innovative nations” by 2020. China’s R&D funds nationwide should reach 2.2 percent of GDP during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15) period, and more than 2.5 percent by 2020, it says. The document also pledges that the nation’s technological plan will be more open to the outside world in terms of cooperation, and international academic institutions and multinational companies are encouraged to set up R&D centers in the country.

A Treasure Trove of Resources China will accelerate shale gas industrialization to meet the nation's energy demand
Looking to satisfy its growing fuel demands, China is turning to shale gas, natural gas trapped within rock formations. "China has huge reserves of shale gas. If successful industrialized production is realized, it would significantly ease the nation's energy strain," said Li Shousheng, deputy head of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. China has about 20 percent of the world's total shale gas reserves, the largest in the world, according to a report published by the Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR) on July 23. The top five countries with the largest minable shale gas reserves are China, the United States, Argentina, Mexico and South Africa. China's interest in shale gas exploration is increasing with an estimated output of 6.5 billion cubic meters expected by 2015. From 2016 to 2020, the country will enter a fast-growth period in shale gas exploration and development, Liu Tienan, head of the National Energy Administration, said. Shale gas is formed by gas trapped within shale formations. With methane as its main ingredient, it is a clean and efficient source of energy. The gas is collected through a complicated process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas and may transform the world's future energy outlook. (Source: Beijing Review)

Sino-German: New cooperation fields
In fact, China and Germany have the potential to complement each other in clean and renewable energy. Germany has a technical advantage while China's labor cost is relatively competitive. The large demand for new energy products in China also provides German products with a huge potential market. The two sides might also pursue cooperation in environmental protection, high technology transfer as well as energy security.
