Australia And South Korea Strengthen Hydrogen And Carbon Capture Partnership

Australia and South Korea have formalized a new bilateral agreement to bolster climate and energy collaboration, paving the way for expanded clean energy industries and trade opportunities.

Signed on December 20th, the Green Economy Partnership Arrangement (Green EPA) aims to diversify clean energy supply chains, enhance hydrogen systems, and advance carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).

This agreement will also streamline trade barriers and foster cooperation on carbon market standards and certifications.

Australia has recently fulfilled the international requirements for transboundary carbon dioxide (CO2) movement and is actively storing CO2 in decommissioned gas fields.

The Green EPA builds on this foundation, strengthening ties between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and three Australian ministries: the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW); the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT); and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources.

In a statement by the DCCEEW, Federal Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen highlighted the agreement’s potential to elevate Australia’s renewable energy sector.

Bowen emphasized, “We are committed to remaining a reliable, stable and secure energy supplier to Korea as we work to become a renewable energy superpower and help the world decarbonize.”
