OIES Podcast – China’s green industrial policy
Description
This OIES podcast is based on two articles in the Oxford Energy Forum No.143 on Green Industrial Policy. James Henderson talks to Michal Meidan and Anders Hove about their thoughts on China’s position in the energy transition and the role of innovation as part of its green industrial strategy. In the first part of the podcast Michal outlines her thoughts on why China now sits at the heart of the global energy transition and how countries in the West could, and perhaps should, address the questions of China’s dominance in certain green technologies and the minerals required in their implementation. Anders Hove then considers how innovation, when linked with industrial policy, has played a major role in the rapid development of technologies in China, with technology transfer, local content rules and the use of government-supported pilot projects and industrial clusters all being used as part of the process. Anders discusses whether other countries can learn from this combination of strategies and Michal concludes with thoughts on how the West can avoid dependency on China while still pursuing ambitious climate goals.
