Why China?China and Climate Change
Coal accounts for about 65% of China’s energy
consumption, with demand exceeding 2 billion tons per
year.
China has surpassed the United States as
largest emitter of CO2.

China’s Renewable EnergyCurrent Status and Market Potential
China accounted for 9% of $70
billion of global investment in renewables in
2006.
China produced 370 MW solar cells in 2006
and is now third largest producer after Germany and Japan. China will have
5 GW wind power capacity installed by the
end of 2007.

Relevance for New ZealandOpportunities for Government, Business, Civil Society, Academia,…
• Establish a NZ-China climate change or renewable energy partnership • Make special provisions for renewable energy technology in the NZ-China FTA• Make renewable energy a ‘priority sector’ for NZTE engagement in China• Consider a CDM project involving NZ renewable energy companies and technology
New Zealand Government:
New Zealand Businesses:
New Zealand Civil Society:
New Zealand Academia:
• Renewable energy businesses to explore opportunities in China (Windflow) • NZ businesses already involved in China (e.g. Fonterra) to make their businesses sustainable and transfer clean technologies (including technical knowledge)• NZ financial institutions financing renewable energy projects
• Asia-NZ Foundation to include climate change dialogues and exchanges into their activities• Education activities aiming at businesses and the public about Asia’s environmental issues
• Establish joint R&D programmes with Chinese universities and research institutes • Establish academic networks through Chinese students in New Zealand• Open exchange of research results
