South Korea targets to double new energy industry exports by 2030

The volume of exports is expected to triple by 2035.

South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) crafted the New Energy Industry Export Momentum Strategy and targets to increase by twofold the exports of the new energy industry by 2030 and triple by 2035.

In a statement, MOTIE said Minister Lee Chang-yang met industry leaders and experts to tackle the New Energy Industry Export Momentum Strategy anchored on three key strategies which include technological development and commercialization of promising export items, active entry into new global markets, and the creation of an innovative foundation for export momentum.

"The new energy industry is a market with vast potential and accelerating investment worldwide. The energy industry must now evolve from being domestically oriented to becoming a new export driver," he said.

In line with the strategy, MOTIE said over 10 items of the country’s new energy industry will make into the global top three by 2035 including small modular reactors, high-voltage direct current cables and hydrogen turbines.

MOTIE added that the government will also promote tailored technological development and commercialisation strategies after grouping potential export items based on market growth and company capabilities.

An innovation foundation will also be established with around $385.8b (KRW500b) policy fund and over $77.15b (KRW100t) of public-private financial investment.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
