ZHOU DADI
Zhou Dadi is founding director of the Beijing Energy Efficiency Center (BECon) and director of China's Energy Research Institute. He has two decades experience in energy efficiency in China, and is well known nationally and internationally in energy and environmental policy analysis. He was instrumental in developing the $200 million World Bank/GEF loan for energy efficiency service companies in China, and is deputy director for the $65 million China Green Lights program. Zhou is the lead representative from China to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He holds physics and engineering degrees from Tsinghua University in Beijing.

GUO YUAN
Guo Yuan is Associate Professor and Senior Researcher at the Energy Research Institute of the State Development Planning Commission of China. She holds a doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Her current research focuses on China's energy system modeling and energy related emissions, greenhouse gas emission scenario analysis, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation options. Her teaching background and areas of research have included electric power industry policy analysis, power expansion planning, economy-energy-environment analysis, and GHG mitigation assessment.

Dr. Guo has been a Visiting Research Fellow at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and at Harvard University, as well as a Visiting Scholar at Argonne National Laboratory in the United States.

SHI YINGYI
Shi Yingyi was director for international cooperation at the Beijing Energy Efficiency Center (BECon) at the time this research was conducted. He has since moved on to the private sector. Shi has 10 years of experience researching energy and environmental issues in China, with a strong focus on energy efficiency. He has a Master of Science degree in environmental engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing.

WILLIAM CHANDLER
William Chandler is currently Senior Staff Scientist and Director of Advanced International Studies at Battelle Memorial Institute's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington, D.C. He is a member of the international energy panel of the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, and an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University.

Mr. Chandler has authored or co-authored ten books, and has often published in both technical and popular journals, including Climatic Change and Scientific American. He occasionally appears on national radio and television, most recently in a Peter Jennings ABC special on climate change.

His international work has included institution building, policy development, and project finance. He led the creation of independent, not-for profit energy efficiency centers in six nations, including Russia and China. Chandler received the 1992 Champion of Energy-Efficiency Award from the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy for his work. He has also led case studies of energy and climate in most of the transition economies and is lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, currently focusing on technology transfer.

Mr. Chandler manages the U.S.-Ukrainian collaborative program on energy-efficiency investment under the Gore-Kuchma Commission and is a member of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. He holds a B.S. from the University of Tennessee, and an MPA from Harvard University.

JEFFREY LOGAN
Jeffrey Logan is a Research Scientist in the Advanced International Studies Unit of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington, D.C. His work focuses primarily on the environmental and economic impacts of energy system decisions, with a heavy geographic focus on China.

He has published extensively on China's electric power sector, natural gas industry, energy conservation efforts, and renewable energy potential. He led a 1998 study entitled "China's Electric Power Options: An Analysis of Economic and Environmental Costs, " which received wide attention. He has also advocated greater natural gas use in China as a substitute for coal and published related articles in the Oil and Gas Journal and the China Business Review.

Mr. Logan began his career at General Electric modeling satellite orbits. He later joined the Peace Corps and taught applied science in rural Nepal. A growing interest in the rapid development of Asian economies and their associated environmental and social dislocations then took him to China where he worked with the United Nations. He has five years of field experience in Asia and speaks Chinese and Nepali.

Logan has a B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University. He also holds a joint Masters degree in Environmental Science and Public Administration from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. He has also worked at the East-West Center in Hawaii researching the dynamics of Chinese energy and economic activity.
