New report on Clean Energy Market Opportunities in Korea and Australia heralds scope for climate change reduction (Parliamentary Secretary for Trade)

Media release

3 May 2010

Australia’s Parliamentary Secretary for Trade, the Hon Anthony Byrne MP, said an increase in trade between Australia and Korea in the clean and renewable energy sector would help reduce the threat of climate change.
 
Mr Byrne said creating a low carbon, green economy to fight climate change is the next step in the two countries’ relationship, and it is a welcome one.
 
Speaking about the ‘Clean and Renewable Energy Market Opportunities in Korea and Australia’ report to be launched in Adelaide today, Mr Byrne added that trade and investment in these emerging technologies provided a new pathway to strengthen Australia’s commercial and diplomatic ties with Korea.
 
A clean energy delegation on visit from Korea also attended the launch.
 
“The report is a useful guidebook to the state of play in clean energy policy and practice in Korea and Australia and it makes a good case that future growth in Australia-Korea commercial ties lies in clean energy trade and investment,” Mr Byrne said.
