We’re discovering what’s driving the clean energy transition in East Asia and how policymakers are confronting the obstacles to a new and renewable energy shift.
Our region urgently needs to transition to low-carbon economies. Our research project is working to uncover key enablers and obstacles to this transition.Â
Our interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research team, led by Associate Professor Elizabeth Thurbon, are exploring four longitudinal case studies of clean energy industry creation in South Korea and China: two of Australia’s top Asian trading partners. Â
The findings will advance scholarly and policy debates about the role of the state in high-tech industry creation and clean energy transitions, while also benefiting Australian exporters seeking new markets.
