China Founds Renewable Energy Center 

(MENAFN - Qatar News Agency) The Chinese government announced late Thursday the establishment of a renewable energy center as a part of the country's efforts to achieve sustainable growth plans.

State News agency (XINHUA) stated, China National Renewable Energy Center (CNREC) will study and write development strategies and conduct research concerning renewable energy policies, as well as carry out cooperative programs with the international community, government officials said at an opening ceremony for the center.

The center will also help authorities create a "developmental roadmap" for photovoltaic power, wind power, biofuel and other renewable resources, as well as collect and analyze data to be used by energy policymakers.

Deputy head of the National Energy Administration Liu Qi, said the center will come up with solutions in key fields such as quota distribution and renewable energy-fueled electricity generation.

The center will mainly receive funding from government allocations and the Sino-Danish Renewable Energy Development Program, a five-year project jointly developed by the Chinese and Danish governments.

It's worthy to note that, China has become the world's biggest investor in renewable energy sources, investing more than 300 billion yuan (47.62 billion U.S. dollars) in renewable energy sources in 2010.
