iCET’s mission is to strengthen global collaboration and provide decision makers at all levels with the urgently needed innovative solutions to solve the energy, environment, and climate crises amid our fast-changing world.

The Innovation Center for Energy and Transportation (iCET), a professional think tank in the areas of clean transportation, energy innovation, climate policy and international cleantech cooperation, is an independent non-profit organization in Los Angeles, California. iCET’s mission is to strengthen global collaboration and provide decision makers at all levels with the urgently needed innovative solutions to solve the energy, environment, and climate crises amid our fast-changing world.

Over the years, iCET has carved out a unique reputation as a leader in promoting innovative clean energy and climate policies in China and internationally. We recognize the urgency of environmental challenges and are committed to the values and principles of innovation, sound scientific research, independence, and practicality. We focus on transformational changes in socio-technology and policies, harness private-public partnership to produce more efficient problem solving, embrace a green lifestyle, and work towards sustainable development. We cherish our fragile planet.

Our work is carried out through three core programs: The Clean Transportation Transformation Program aims to accelerate the transition towards zero-emission and electrification of transportation system through standards, policies, technology promotion and consumer engagement; The Smart Carbon Management and Green Finance Program aims to improve transparency for GHG reporting by taking advantage of big data and smart technologies to make it easier to measure, report, and verify (MRV) emission reductions for entities and consumers; The Cleantech Innovation and Corporation Program is creating cross-border multi-stakeholder platforms to advance clean technology collaboration and innovation among major global players.

iCET adopts innovative approaches to accomplish its mission: Data-driven analysis for improved policy design, multi stakeholder engagement towards the formation of a shared vision, and locally adjusted sustainability impact assessments that are reliant on sound scientific analyses. We conduct cutting-edge research, host expert panel discussions, design tools and develop consumer infotainment apps, and create new inroads for public outreach.
