US, China advance science and energy agreements

The agenda includes an analysis of advanced coal technologies including the particular carbon-capture facility discussed at Huaneng Group’s power plant in Shanghai. The five-year research agenda announced that week will involve US and Chinese companies as well as government officials and academics, organized under the US and China Advanced Coal Technology (ACT) consortia.
