China May Become Global Green Technology Leader

Advert
Environmental Share
China may become the world's top exporter of "green technology" if the country carries out crucial energy and ecological reforms, leading environmental campaigners told the AFP, Saturday.

"For China, I am absolutely convinced that it will become the world leader in green tech," Tim Flannery, chairman of the Copenhagen Climate Council, told a business forum on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific summit.

"I think that China is in a position where, as manufacturer to the world, if it goes down that green energy route, it will open up enormous new markets," Flannery said.

Flannery, regarded as one of the world's most influential explorers and conservationists, said China's green energy industry would also be "critically important" for domestic security.

"It will also secure its own internal stability because the environment problems in China today threaten to overwhelm parts of the country," he said.

Dorjee Sun, chief executive officer of the Carbon Credit Trading Group, said the "Green Wall of China" project could boost the country's chances to become the top green technology player.

The project can spur massive reforestation, energy efficiency and renewable energy development in China, he said.

The US has the capability of being the world leader in green technology. Whether we have the will to do so remains to be seen. However, the relative paucity of expansion here may be the indicator. Yes, I know that we have brought many of the new technologies to the table. However, we are not out in front of the pack as we have been with many of the twentieth century innovations. This area is changing so rapidly that failure to innovate daily will lead to being part of the tail end group.
