1 The Bluetech International Clean Air Forum 2016 will unite around 300 participants, including policymakers, Chinese and international experts, local environmental departments, technology companies, environmental organization, researchers and media together to witness the future clean air evolving trend and cutting-edge development of clean air technologies around the world. The forum will address implication of the China 2050 clean air roadmap, imminent clean air policy, clean air technology, and investment opportunities, developed advanced technology assessment, demonstration and promotion mechanisms for environmental technology in many levels. US-China clean air cooperation opportunities outlook report will be released during this forum. We ve invited environmental department representatives from many provinces and cities to the Forum, where specialized sessions on diesel engine pollution control, VOC control and indoor air pollution will also be held. Winners and finalists of the Bluetech Award will be showcased through posters, display booths and on-stage presentations and participate in communication and match-making sessions with representatives from government entities and research institutions and potential buyers to deploy their technologies and help implement clean air policies in China. Meanwhile five sub-forums will be held, topic about related strategy and deep discussions for Urban Air Quality Improvement Experience, Challenges and Demand, next generation monitoring technology, bulk coal governance in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, emission reduction for port machinery and pollution prevention of diesel engine, VOCs Control and Indoor Air Purificaiton.

The international experts within Bluetech Award Committee, and

7 representatives of Bluetech Award applicants and supporting partners from 16 countries will attend this activity Afternoon Agenda The Main Forum (Urban Air Quality Improvement Experience, Challenges and Demand) Lecture: 1 US Case: South-coast air quality improvement road map Elaine Chang, Former Director, South-coast Air Quality Management District Local leading experience (co-control technology study case) and technology demonstration design 2 UK Case: Local Air Quality Management Mechanism in UK UK Expert from Environment Agency 3 Co-Control Local Pilots and Technology Demonstration Mechanism Tonny Xie, Director, Innovation Center for Clean-air Solutions, Secretariat for Clean Air Alliance of China Panel Discussion 1 Challenges, difficulties and needs from the cities Participated by representatives from cities and experts 2 Calculating the health-benefits from the air quality improvement Participated by leading experts in the area of environmental science and policy, public health, disease control center, and etc. 3 Funding mechanism for clean air plans and measures Participated by representatives from MEP, World Bank, Asia Development Bank, Chinese Commercial Bank, local environmental fund, and etc.

8 Morning Agenda Sub-Forum I: Next Generation Monitoring Technologies for Enforcement The air quality and pollution sources monitoring is main Air quality and pollution sources monitoring is the main basis of air quality forecast and warning, also is the basis of atmospheric environmental governance, establish a more accurate list of pollution sources, be able to determine the local main pollution source, support to make pollution control policy. With the development of monitoring technology and Internet technology, online monitoring and monitoring network based on Internet technology is changing the traditional monitoring purposes. The sub-forum will focus on the next generation monitoring technology, the current situation and development trend of monitoring technology and policy to discuss and exchange. Partners: Chinese Research Academy for Environmental Science (CRAES) Attendances: the next generation air quality monitoring projects, the representative of environmental protection department, the representatives of the advanced technology enterprises, the academic authorities, etc Sub-Forum II: VOC Pollution Control and Indoor Purification VOCs is one of the main primary pollutants in various regions throughout China and is one of the major precursors for secondary PM2.5 and ozone. VOCs and its secondary products are toxic and cancerous, harming public health. As the China launches the official war on pollution, the 13th Five Year Plan listed VOCs as an important contaminant, pushing some major cities and provinces to create their own VOCs control targets. People spend, on average, 70% of their time in indoor environment and therefore are potentially more exposed to indoor air pollutants. In addition to outdoor pollution infiltration, there are also many pollution sources in indoor environments, which causes high indoor air pollution that are often more severe than the outdoor air. As people are becoming more aware of air quality and health, concerns on the indoor air quality have also been raised. Partners: Energy and Environment Branch of Chinese Society For Environmental Sciences, Shanghai Research Institute of Building Science Group

9 Attendances: representatives of environmental protection department, the representatives of the advanced pollution control port, the representative of the leading technology enterprises, the academic authorities, etc Afternoon Agenda Sub-Forum III: Bulk Coal Pollution Control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area For air pollution in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, bulk coal burning is the main pollution factor, and at a certain time it affect regional air quality a lot, such as in winter heating by coal-fired and bulk coal burning pollution. To better implement the national requirements for the control of air pollution, improve the environmental quality of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, it requires to accelerate the clean energy transformation, strictly control the bulk coal burning emissions. In this sub-forum, environmental protection departments of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, policy and technical experts, and advanced technology enterprises will discuss bulk coal management solutions, and have presentation for the application of domestic and foreign advanced technology. Partners: Beijing Municipal Research Institute of Environmental Protection Attendances: Representatives of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region environmental protection department, the representatives of the advanced technology enterprises, the academic authorities, etc. Sub-Forum IV:Diesel Engine Pollution Control and Innovative Thermal Power Ultra-Low Emission Control Technology Particulate emissions from diesel engine is one of the major sources on PM2.5 in China, which has strong carcinogenic. With improvement of strength on the air quality control, diesel engine pollution control has become one of the main tasks. In addition to diesel vehicles, ships, cargo handling machines and construction equipment are all diesel engine powered with signification emission. As one topic in this session, diesel engine pollution control difficulties, leading technical solutions, development trend, policy bottleneck and requirements will be taken in-depth discussion.

10 Furthermore, The Work of the Government Report (2015) has raised the request for promotion of ultra-low emission control for coal fired power and planned to achieve the ultra-low emission for all coal fired power plant by The ultra-low emission technology is looking at a more than 40 billion growth by then. As another topic of this session, it will focus on the technical problems and advanced developing trend on ultra-low emission technology, as well as how to encourage power plants to adapt new technology to achieve ultra-low emission. Partners: Energy and Environment Branch of Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences, China Association of Environmental Protection Industry (CAEPI) Committee of Vehicle Emission Control (CVEC) Attendees: Representatives of environmental protection department, leading experts, the representatives of the advanced pollution control port, bus companies and leading technology enterprises, the academic authorities, etc.
