Sichuan University

Wenjie Liao received his doctorate in Environmental Science from Leiden University (Leiden, the Netherlands), after completion of a MSc and BSc in Environmental Engineering from Sichuan University (Chengdu, China). Prior to starting as associate professor at the Institute of New Energy and Low-Carbon Technology of Sichuan University, he worked as a Marie-Curie postdoctoral researcher with the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (Rennes, France). His current research interests include: 1) life cycle assessment of emerging energy and chemical technologies; 2) analysis of environmental and energy policies about the green development strategy in China; and 3) knowledge synergy between industrial ecology, earth system science, agro-ecology, etc. to understand interactions between human systems and the environment.

Abstract

China has been optimistic by setting its shale gas production goal, in the newly released 13th Five-Year National Shale Gas Development Plan, to reach 30 billion m3 by 2020, which is anticipated to be a seven-fold increase of... [ view full abstract ]
