PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan on will use an upcoming trip to Korea and Japan to promote Australia’s critical minerals sector and its emerging hydrogen industry.

Canavan said while Australia had been blessed by record exports of coal, iron and gas, in coming years emerging commodities such as critical minerals and hydrogen would also make a significant contribution to the national economy.

“Resources are one of our greatest economic strengths. To stay in our world-beating position, we must invest in emerging opportunities and promote them to the world, including our close neighbours in Asia.

“Both Korea and Japan are advanced modern-day economies. They are home to many companies at the cutting edge of new technologies and there is strong interest in how our critical minerals can advance both our economies

“As a government, we are targeting the three ‘i's to help foster our critical minerals sector – investment, innovation and infrastructure – to clear the way for more development. Our detailed plans were released earlier this year in the federal government’s Critical Minerals Strategy.”

Canavan said the visit would also reinforce Australia’s potential to become a leading supplier of hydrogen to the Asian region.

“There is a real appetite for hydrogen energy in Japan, and I will be making the most of any opportunity to strengthen resource-focused business and trade relationships between our nations,” he said.

“Australia is uniquely positioned to export high quality coal, liquefied natural gas and hydrogen which will all have a role in Japan’s future energy mix.”

Canavan will be in Korea September 23 and 24, where he will meet with Korea’s Minister for Trade, Industry and Energy and a number of important industry groups and businesses including the Korea-Australia Business Council, the Hyundai Motor Company, the Korea Gas Corporation and Korea Resources Corp.

The Minister will be in Japan from September 25 to 27, where key engagements will include speaking at the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial meeting, signing a Memorandum of Cooperation with Japan’s Minister for Economy, Trade and Industry, and meetings with energy and industrial heavyweights including Tokyo Gas, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Mitsui and Mitsubishi.
