Asia-Pacific efforts for clean technology

Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--Delegations from six Asia-Pacific governments, industries, and research institutes will work to devise specific measures to develop and deploy clean technologies. The meeting will be held between April 18 and 21 in San Francisco.

The working-level meeting is aimed at accelerating efforts to promote clean technologies under the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate. The Partnership was launched last year with the participation of six countries namely, the U.S., Australia, China, Korea, Japan, and India.

One outcome of last year's meeting was the agreement that the partners would set up eight task forces in such areas as renewable energy, building & home appliances, steel, coal mining, aluminum, cement, power generation & transmission, and clean fossil fuels. As the chair of renewable energy and building & home appliances, Korea submitted a proposal to build the Asia-Pacific Energy Technology Cooperation Center, which would monitor each member's efforts in enhancing energy efficiency.

The working-level meeting will focus on the following agendas:

1) develop specific strategies for each task force
2) present detailed plans to establish and operate the Asia-Pacific Energy Technology Cooperation Center
3) discuss ways to finance programs of the Partnership
