A coming clean and green energy revolution in China should attract Nordic interest

Photo by chinadialogue.net (from Flicker)In a situation where both China and the Nordic countries are eager to exploit the opportunities in the world energy and energy technology markets, the purpose of our recently published study, “Nordic Collaboration with China in Energy Research and Development”, was to point to ways in which Nordic research and development (R&D) institutions and companies working with energy research, technology, and innovations could collaborate with Chinese stakeholders and actors in energy R&D to address the key issues associated with China’s energy production and consumption. The study puts forward a series of strategic and specific recommendations on how Nordic collaboration under the Nordic Council of Ministers can engage with the Nordic countries, i.e. their government agencies, their organizations, and their companies, as well as with Chinese partners to promote a clean energy R&D agenda in China.
