More than a dozen universities nationwide, have collaborated to establish the research center, which aims to pioneer new energy-saving technologies. How it will help China to cut carbon emissions and build a greener future?

The joint research center was formed by more than 20 universities in China. It's the first of its kind focused on energy-saving.

The center aims to promote the design of energy-saving initiatives, while striving to create new talents in this field.

Zhou Qifeng, President of Peking University, said, "We have about 40 energy-saving related courses. We would support these programs through research in the field, and by promoting it on campus."
