Mr. Wang Siqiang hoped that SUSTech would highlight key points in energy research, to take advantage of its resources and expand the space for further innovation.

Director Zhao Yusheng of the Office of research talked about the development of energy research at SUSTech while Dean Liu Ke of the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship introduced the progress of his new team in clean coal research. Professor Wang Haijiang and Xu Wenhui, both from the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering, reported on fuel cell technology, with a specific focus on its industrialization and R&D. They were followed by Head of Department Rong Yiming, who briefed the NEA team about the Department’s focus on energy.
