Program to train energy managers

A Sino-German project was launched yesterday in Beijing to train more than 1,000 Chinese energy managers over three years.

The European Energy Manager project, jointly sponsored by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) and the Nuremberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK Nuremberg), aims to introduce Germany's energy management expertise into China, training energy leaders in local companies and governments.

"We hope that the cooperation project will introduce Germany's advanced knowledge and technical standards of energy management into China," SAFEA director Ji Yunshi said.
