KOTRA Hosts Korea-China Green Industry Cooperation Plaza

Event to Expand Our SME's Entry into the Green Market of China's Northeast Three Provinces

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] KOTRA announced on the 27th that it will hold the 'Korea-China Green Industry Cooperation Plaza' in Dalian, Liaoning Province to expand the entry of our small and medium-sized enterprises into the green market of the three northeastern provinces of China.

The event, held on the 28th, consists of a forum and consultation sessions. At the forum, KOTRA's Northeast Regional Trade Center, Dalian Development and Reform Commission, and the Hydrogen Convergence Alliance (H2K) will present on the current status and exchange plans of the hydrogen and environmental industries in both Korea and China.

In addition, the consultation sessions will include one-on-one online meetings between domestic and Chinese companies in fields related to hydrogen energy utilization such as fuel cells and hydrogen charging stations, as well as environmental sectors including water treatment, air pollution control, and soil restoration. Twenty domestic companies will participate online, while 40 Chinese companies will attend the offline venue for online consultations.

With China’s carbon neutrality policy being fully implemented and the restructuring of traditional industries in the three northeastern provinces?where high-carbon industries like steel are concentrated?demand for green industries is increasing. China, the world's largest hydrogen producer with an annual production of 33 million tons, still has a high dependence on foreign materials, technologies, and components.

In particular, Dalian is positioning itself as a key city for hydrogen energy and is developing a hydrogen energy industrial complex covering 350,000 square meters. More than ten hydrogen energy projects are underway, including infrastructure construction, technology development, and application demonstrations, aiming to establish a comprehensive hydrogen industry chain in the future.

Hong Chang-pyo, head of KOTRA’s China Regional Headquarters, stated, “With the expansion of policies to achieve carbon neutrality, we expect the eco-friendly business connections between the two countries to broaden. The three northeastern provinces of China, including Dalian, are adopting green industries as new growth engines, so this event will be a great opportunity for our companies to explore the market in the three northeastern provinces.”
