In this episode of Energy Insights, host Stephen speaks with Zhou Yu, Program Manager at New Energy Nexus, to explore China’s fast-growing clean-tech ecosystem and what it means for Asia’s energy transition.
Zhou explains how China’s leadership in solar, batteries, EVs and energy storage is reshaping regional supply chains and driving down global technology costs. He discusses the policies, innovation networks and startup support systems powering this growth, and why other Asian countries are looking to China as both a model and a critical partner.
The conversation examines the opportunities and risks for Southeast Asia, the role of cross-border collaboration, and whether China’s clean-tech engine can accelerate the region’s shift away from fossil fuels.
