The United States Commerce department will send a clean-energy technologies trade mission to China and India in April in order to promote renewable energy, agencies reported. Environmentally conscious US companies will introduce products that offer energy efficiency and clean coal to the world's two most populous countries. China is now responsible for 12.7% of global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, second only to the US. The mission, led by US Commerce Assistant Secretary David Bohgian, is targeting a reduction in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions as part of President George W. Bush's Asia Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate.
