SEOUL, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Global renewable energy industry needs an advanced technology for breakthrough in providing a more reliable, sustainable energy source for the world, co-chair of the World Energy Council (WEC) said Tuesday.

WEC Co-Chair Younghoon David Kim told a meeting with foreign correspondents in Seoul that solar and wind powers could be the most acceptable option of renewable energy in consideration of its "sustainability". Solar and wind powers emit no greenhouse gas, helping the world tackle climate change.

Kim, however, pointed out their "reliability" problem as solar and wind powers have yet to secure an energy storage technology advanced enough to accommodate factories and plants in an industrial scale. The present technology can only serve automobile batteries.

Solar and wind powers are clean and sustainable, but they are not a reliable energy source because provisions can be stopped depending on weather conditions. To overcome the intermittence problem, technology on energy storage should be advanced enough to cover the intermittent halt, the co-chair said.

Kim is scheduled to take office as WEC chair at the upcoming World Energy Congress that will be held in October in Istanbul, Turkey. The 23rd triennial congress will come under the theme of "Embracing New Frontiers", expecting to attract about 10,000 delegates from about 120 countries.

The WEC was launched in 1923 in the name of World Power Conference to rebuild the war-torn electricity networks at the post-WW I Europe, led by electricity engineers from 24 countries. It renamed it the current World Energy Council in 1989.

Kim, who is also chairman and chief executive at the South Korea-based renewable energy giant Daesung Group, forecast that China will take the lead in the global renewable energy industry, noting that the WEC would take note of Northeast Asia as the region is to become powerhouses of the segment.

The CEO said solar cell costs have continued, will continue to decline thanks to advancements in China and India, though not as fast as the past fall of memory chip costs in the semiconductor industry.

UNITED NATIONS Air Max Mens Sale , Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The new UN Security Council resolution that imposes tougher sanctions against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is all about preventing chaos and conflict on the Korean Peninsula, said Chinese ambassador to the United Nations Liu Jieyi on Saturday.

The unanimous adoption of Resolution 2371 by the council on Saturday demonstrates that the international community is united in its position regarding the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula, Liu told the Security Council after the voting of the sanctions.

There are three major components in the resolution: further sanctions against the DPRK's nuclear and missile programs; no intention to harm activities that are not prohibited by the resolution Air Max Womens Sale , such as economic activities and cooperation, food and economic assistance; a call for the resumption of the six-party talks, commitment to finding a peaceful solution Air Max Shoes Sale , and the emphasis of the importance of de-escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula by the parties concerned, said Liu.

China is opposed to the DPRK's launching activities that violate Security Council resolutions and are in defiance of the will of the entire international community, he said.

China has always insisted on realizing the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula Air Max Sale , upholding peace and stability there and seeking a solution through dialogue and consultation. "China has always and firmly been opposed to chaos and conflict on the peninsula," said Liu.

China believes that these form part and parcel of Saturday's resolution and that all of the parties should implement the provisions contained in the resolution fully and earnestly, the ambassador said.

China has been making tireless efforts to promote denuclearization of the peninsula and to uphold peace and stability on the peninsula Nike Air Max Black Sale , he noted.

On July 4, China and Russia issued a joint statement on the issue of the Korean Peninsula. The two countries put forward a roadmap on the basis of Russia's step-by-step approach and China's idea of a dual approach -- parallel efforts to move forward both denuclearization and the establishment of a peaceful mechanism on the peninsula -- and China's initiative of suspension-for-suspension -- which calls for the DPRK to suspend its nuclear and missile activities and for the United States and South Korea to suspend their large-scale war games, said Liu.

The China-Russia initiative Nike Air Max Sale Online , which aims at tackling both the symptoms and the root causes of the problem and seeks a solution through an integrated approach, is realistic and feasible, he said Nike Air Max Mens Sale , expressing the hope that the initiative would get the support of the relevant parties.

China has taken note that the United States has recently indicated once again that it is not seeking a "regime change" nor a "regime collapse" in the DPRK and that Washington is in no hurry to push for the reunification of the Korean Peninsula and that its troops will not push through the 38th Parallel, said Liu.

"It is our hope that the U.S. side will translate these four Nos into concrete policies," he noted.

Beefing up military deployment on the peninsula is not helpful in realizing the denuclearization of the peninsula and maintaining regional peace and stability Nike Air Max Womens Sale , he added.

The deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea will not bring a solution to the issue of the DPRK's nuclear testing and missile launching, said the ambassador. "What it will do is to seriously undermine the strategic balance of the region and is detrimental to the strategic security interests of the regional countries, including China."

China strongly urges parties concerned to halt the process of base deployment and to dismantle re.
