China Energy and Environment Summit 2010FINANCING A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

China faces a double energy challenge - ensuring a long-term, secure supply of fuel and electricity to keepits giant economy operating at a high growth level and minimising the negative environmental impact of thatgrowth by keeping a lid on greenhouse gas emissions.

The sustainable solution is lowering the country's dependence on fossil fuels, accelerating the additionof renewable, low-carbon alternatives to the energy mix, and generally becoming more energy-efficient,particularly in fast-expanding urban areas. As negotiations continue post-Copenhagen on a global strategyto tackle climate change, it is clear that progress towards this cleaner energy future - in China and elsewhere- will depend not just on the actions of governments but also on private sector support, particularly on theinvestment side.

Building on last year's successful inaugural event, the second China Energy and Environment Summit willfocus on what needs to be done to develop, nance and implement the technologies and other solutions thatwill transform China's energy landscape.

How can the output of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources be expanded to the massive levelsneeded to markedly alter the country's energy mix? How can the government and private sector worktogether to push forward implementation of energy infrastructure innovations such as smart grids andcarbon capture and storage? What are the most promising investment opportunities? How important is thecreation of a formal carbon market to the development of low-carbon energy solutions?

The Financial Times and the China Chamber of International Commerce will bring together leadingindustrialists, nanciers, regulators and clean energy experts from China and around the world to discuss

these and other major issues, including supply, demand and pricing scenarios, the different financingalternatives, and the types of regulatory support necessary to ensure a productive and transparentinvestment environment.

Day 1

8:00-9:00 Breakfast and Registration

9:00-9:15 Welcome Remarks by FT and CCOIC

9:15-10:35 Keynote Session

10:35-10:55 Networking break

10:55-12:10 Panel Discussion: China and Climate ChangeDiplomacy - where next?China has a pivotal role to play in efforts to reach a globalagreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.As talks continue ahead of the UN Climate ChangeConference in Cancun, what key issues still need to beresolved and what are the implications of continueddifferences between emerging markets giants like Chinaand India, and the OECD countries, some of which arebattling to pass clean energy legislation? Is the UNstructure still the best basis for progress? In light of thedifficulties in enforcing quotas, what are the prospectsof carbon taxes being introduced to cut emissions?Is enough global attention being given to financingrenewable energy solutions?

12:10-13:40 Lunch

13:40-14:10 Keynote Address/Interview

14:10-15:25 Panel Discussion: China's Clean Energy Policy -backing up the stimulusAccording to some estimates, China spent more thanUS$60 billion of its 2009 stimulus programme onenvironment-related initiatives. Alongside this publicspending, what policies are being introduced to encourageenergy efficiency, diversify the energy mix and boost thedevelopment of clean technologies? Is public money

going to the right projects? Are there sufficient regulatoryincentives for the private sector to invest in clean,renewable or unconventional energy solutions? Giventhat the renewable technologies now being developed willtake decades to produce energy on a massive scale, howshould such incentives be balanced against continuedefforts to secure conventional energy supplies? Is Chinapositioning itself to be a global leader in clean technology?

15:25-15:45 Networking break

15:45-17:00 Panel Discussion: The Financing and InvestmentChallengeWhat is the best way for investors to enter the cleantechnology and renewable energy market in China?Which solutions offer the best long-term returns, andhow can their potential be evaluated? What are thesupply, demand and pricing scenarios? Are there alreadytoo many players in some sectors, leading to potentialindustry consolidation? What are the best exit strategies?Given the rapid proliferation of environmental funds, andthe prospect of more new energy companies comingto market, are we already in the midst of an investmentboom and is there the risk of a collapse similar to thedotcom crash? Should China issue climate bonds tofinance clean technologies? How can the state, localfinancial institutions and foreign investors work togetherto fund a major boost in renewable energy output? Howcan more Chinese banks be persuaded to join the Equator

Principles and integrate sustainability considerations intotheir core business?

17:00-17:15 Closing Remarks

17:15-18:15 Cocktail Reception

Day 2

9:00-9:30 Breakfast

9:30-9:35 Welcome Remarks by FT/CCOIC

9:35-10:05 Keynote Address/Interview

10:05-11:05 Panel Discussion: The Technology ChallengeThe speed at which technology evolves will play a large

role in whether alternative, low-carbon energy solutionsreach their full potential. How rapid is the pace of R&Dand innovation in China and to what extent is the statebolstering innovation in renewable and clean energy?Where is China particularly reliant on foreign know-how and resources and to what extent will that be anobstacle to progress? What is the scope for internationalcollaboration on the development of alternative energytechnologies? Should some technologies be prioritisedover others and is that already occurring? How is privatebusiness being encouraged to finance continued R&D,and how effective are government incentives?

11:05-12:05 Panel Discussion: Electric cars - Viable in the Long-Term?Electric car technology is developing rapidly with Chinain the forefront, backed by the country\s dominantpresence in the lithium ion battery market. Exports ofChinese electric cars to the US are expected to begin thisyear, while domestically demand is likely to be boosted bygovernment subsidies and rebates. Some analysts havepredicted that electric cars could account for more thanhalf China s auto market by 2020. Other estimates aremore cautious, pointing to the vehicles still high cost andtheir dependence on key infrastructure such as chargingstations. Will electric cars be produced in sufficientvolume to markedly lower China s pollution levels and itsdependence on foreign oil? Is the current investment inelectric car start-ups in the US and elsewhere viable giventhe increased efforts by traditional automakers to moveinto this space? Will China become a global leader inelectric cars?

12:05-13:35 Lunch13:35-14:05 CCOIC introduces China's most promising clean

energy projects

14:05-15:05 Panel Discussion: Venture Capital - Still Hunting forClean Energy Start-ups?As the clean energy industry becomes more developed,there is still a role for venture capital in identifying keyinnovators, particularly given the need to acceleratetechnological change in the quest for increased low-carbon output and energy efficiency. Senior venturecapitalists from Silicon Valley and other key centresdiscuss the key opportunities for growth and how they areapproaching the China market in the transition to a newenergy future.

15:05-15:55 Panel Discussion: Carbon Trading - What Role Will ItPlay?China has set up its first formal carbon exchanges, buthow efficiently do they operate and what opportunitiesdo they present for foreign investors and intermediaries?What is the best model for offsetting and pricing carbonemissions? How does the sale of carbon credits directlycontribute to the development of low-carbon technologiesin China? What can be learned from programs such asthe EU's Emission Trading System? How can regulatorsminimise volatility in carbon trading? How will the marketdevelop globally?

15:55-16:15 Networking break 16:15-17:30 Panel Discussion: What Have We Learned? Future

ScenariosHigh-level clean energy experts will review the outcomesof the Summit discussions and gauge the prospects ofa rapid development of alternative energy solutions inChina, the regulatory, financial and technical obstaclesthat need to be overcome for a substantial increase inoutput, the potential for international collaboration, andthe timeline for delivery.
