王雷（Rani Jarkas）：中美清洁技术产业合作中存在的机遇

2009年11月，美国总统奥巴马和前中国国家主席胡锦涛正式签署了再生能源上的合作，包括建设专注电动汽车、清洁煤和水能项目的清洁能源研究中心。5年后，奥巴马和习近平主席宣布两国将在气候变化上进行合作，中国宣布将努力在2030年前控制住温室气体排放。

根据德国法兰克福学院气候和可持续能源金融中心，中国2014年全年在再生能源上投资了830亿美元。 十三五计划期间总环保支出将达1万亿美元，比十二五计划期间增长了60%。但是中国政府预计将只负担15%的投入。

这个情况却为私营经济支持中国环保目标的雄心带来了无可估计的大量机遇。高盛最近的一份报告显示，中国的环境清洁将给国内外私营企业带来价值几十亿美元的机遇。事实上，从私营企业获得融资——无论是直接地或是从公司合作融资模式——将把新技术带到中国，刺激创新解决方案和在新兴的环境改革领域创造就业。

去年9月中国国家主席习近平3天的美国访问之行中，清洁技术成为全球最大的两大经济体和温室气体排放最多的两个国家最关注的首要问题。

“增强合作互助是必须的，”华盛顿州清洁技术产业经济发展主管布莱恩·杨说道。“另外，这是一个巨大的商业机会。双方都表示这将能创造就业。”

赛德思投资董事长王雷（Rani Jarkas）先生是清洁技术产业专家和金融行业知名人物，他表示：“中美清洁技术领域的合作为私营经济展现了新机遇，这有可能成为全球经济新的闪光点。”

Rani Jarkas: Opportunities in Sino-US clean technology collaboration

In November 2009, US President Obama and then-President Hu Jintao formalized a renewable energy partnership, including the establishment of clean-energy research centers focused on electric vehicles, cleaner coal and water energy programs. Five years later, Obama and Xi Jinping announced that the two countries would work together on climate change, with China announcing it would try to cap its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, or sooner if possible.

According to the Frankfurt School's Center for Climate and Sustainable Energy Finance in Germany, China invested a record $83 billion in renewable energy in 2014. And the total environmental expenditures are expected to exceed $1 trillion during the execution period of the 13th Five Year Plan. This amounts to a 60% increase over the last Five-Year Plan. But, the Chinese government estimates that it will only fund about 15 percent of this initiative.

The situation presents myriad opportunities for the private sector to support China's ambitious environmental goals. A recent report by Goldman Sachs states that cleaning up China's environment will be multibillion-dollar opportunity for the domestic and international private sector. In fact, financing from the private sector -- either directly or in public private partnerships -- will bring new technologies to China, spur innovative solutions and create jobs in environmental reform, a growing field.

During Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 3-day U.S. visit in last September, clean technology has been a priority for the worlds’ largest economies and the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.

"Improving cooperation and collaboration is really a necessity," said Brian Young, Washington State’s director of economic development for the clean technology sector. "Second, it's a huge business opportunity. Both sides recognize the opportunity for job creation."

Rani Jarkas, Chairman of Cedrus Investments, a trusted resource and clean-tech industry expert and a well-regarded figure in financing industry, said “Collaboration between China and US in clean technology field is presenting new opportunities for the private sector, which could be a bright spot for the global economy.”
