en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 22, during the 4th China International Supply Chain Expo, the Renewable Energy Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific (RECAP) and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission jointly hosted the China-Australia Renewable Energy Industry Cooperation Matchmaking Event. RECAP CEO John Grimes stated in an interview that Australia and China possess complementary advantages across the entire energy chain, and their cooperation can simultaneously achieve multiple values in improving people's livelihoods, economic growth, and climate protection.

Grimes noted that Australia-China cooperation in the renewable energy sector has a deep foundation of nearly 50 years—solar technology originated in Australia before achieving large-scale production and significant cost reductions in China, with both sides forming a strong industrial collaboration in areas such as photovoltaics and battery technology. In terms of industrial complementarity, China is a global powerhouse in clean energy manufacturing, holding leading advantages in photovoltaic modules, lithium-ion batteries, and electric vehicles; Australia, on the other hand, possesses critical mineral resources essential for the energy transition, such as copper and iron ore, and has accumulated extensive practical engineering experience.

Regarding APEC and ASEAN energy transition goals, Grimes said RECAP will integrate the mature experiences of pioneering economies like Australia and China to provide replicable transition solutions for regional members. He cited an example where RECAP previously recommended that the Bangladeshi government eliminate import tariffs on photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging stations—a policy that has since been formally implemented, benefiting 150 million people. As for the Supply Chain Expo, he expressed hope that enterprises from both countries would achieve deep cooperation across multiple dimensions, including technology, investment, and innovation, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development of bilateral energy cooperation.
