Energy Minister Chris Bowen will warn Australia faces an ‘enormous task’ in meeting its newly legislated carbon emissions targets, with the heavy reliance on Chinese solar panels a key energy security risk.

| Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will warn Australia faces an “enormous” task in meeting its newly legislated carbon emissions targets, with the heavy reliance on Chinese solar panels a key energy security risk.in New York, Mr Bowen called on like-minded countries including the US to work in tandem to reduce dependence on Chinese solar panels, and issued allies with a call to arms on the staggering scale of the looming decarbonisation effort.

“By one estimate, Australia will require 34 times the current amount of utility-scale variable renewable energy in our national electricity market to meet our hydrogen export ambitions. Mr Bowen will tell his US audience that it is in their interests that Australia develop its renewable manufacturing capacity, and vice versa.“Our minerals will be essential – but we must be more than a quarry. We need to add value, make things, and expand our place in global value chains. Secondly, these must be ethical supply chains.

“We have a range of policies which no doubt will be looked at in due course. I believe we can make key components of electric vehicles and indeed electric vehicles totally in Australia.”
