Energy and Decarbonisation

AKBC’s Energy and Decarbonisation Industry Group connects members with the people, insights, and opportunities shaping one of the most strategically important sectors in the Australia–Korea relationship.

5th Australia-Korea New Energy Forum, Melbourne (2024)

As both countries accelerate the energy transition, cooperation across renewable energy, hydrogen, CCUS, LNG, ammonia, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) continues to deepen. This group provides a direct platform for members to engage with investors, and policymakers across the energy value chain.

 

Focused on practical outcomes, the group supports members to navigate policy and market developments, unlock investment opportunities, and build long-term partnerships across the Australia–Korea corridor.

 

Access is available to members at the Advance, Immerse, and Accelerate levels, with access to all Industry Groups included as part of these memberships. 

 

What we do

  • Host targeted roundtables with Australian and Korean government and industry leaders; 

  • Facilitate introductions; 

  • Lead delegations and in-market engagement in Korea; 

  • Provide insights on policy, supply chains, and emerging trends; and 

  • Create speaking and profile opportunities at our major events.
