Aussie Solar Technology to Bring Green Energy to China
Australia's peak scientific body recently announced a landmark partnership with Chinese solar company Thermal Focus, which will see the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) help China produce 5 gigawatts of concentrating solar thermal (CST) electricity by 2020.
Commenting on the agreement, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science Greg Hunt said: "Australia is a leader in clean energy technology and this partnership is an important step in realising this advantage."
As reported by the China Daily, the partnership will allow Thermal Focus to make, sell and install the CSIRO's patented solar heliostat technology and design software in China, while the shared revenue will be utilised to finance more climate research in Australia.
