Chinese green technology sourcing

Green technology

Chinese Green technology has been developing rapidly in response to consumer and government demands to reduce China's high pollution levels.

Green technology is key to the growth of most businesses over the next five years.

The development of Green Technology is yielding greater efficiency, lower costs, and higher productivity, as seen in electric vehicles, which offer significantly lower operating costs, improved performance, and enhanced safety.

Green Technology should be your priority: it gives you more, not less. When setting priorities, this approach removes concerns and politics. In China today, green technology reduces costs for the government, businesses, and consumers while helping address high levels of pollution.

Continue the Industrial Revolution

Our definition of Green Technology is the development of products and services that increase productivity and returns while reducing or replacing the use of products and practices that harm the health of our planet, its ecosystems, and its plants, animals, and people.

The process that began during the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century, driven by fossil fuels, is now holding us back. New technologies will make the next decade as crucial to global development as the Industrial Revolution was in the mid-18th century.

New developments each week

Keeping up with Green Technology developments is challenging, given the significant investment required to develop new approaches and products each month. For example, Car batteries are often thought to require rare metals such as lithium and cobalt. This is no longer the case.

The issue for businesses and consumers is knowing which technology will give the greatest return on investment and when. It is no longer “if”.

e.g. China has the world's largest electric car and battery industry. This results in lower costs, faster charging, and reduced reliance on rare metals such as lithium.

China is developing and deploying green technology.

China has some of the highest pollution levels in the world. This has driven the development and adoption of Green Technologies. Chinese businesses have an advantage over many parts of the world because of their large domestic consumer market. The consumer market demands changes to reduce pollution, driving significant investment in and development of Green Technology.

China does not have more Green Technology developers than the rest of the world. A large domestic market drives demand. Chinese businesses and consumers understand the changes, embrace them, and make purchases. For example, one of China's large petrol station companies is planning for the future, anticipating that demand for roadside fuel will decline sharply over the next five years. Plan for the changes while they still have a large customer base. What can we offer our customers when they no longer need fuel?

Innovation vs “more of the same”.

It is not good news from China. You need to separate Chinese businesses that bring new ideas and products to market from those that just copy existing products.

Businesses creating products that already exist are important. It allows China to serve a very large internal market, 1.4 billion people, in a fast-growing economy that consumes products and services faster than anywhere else in the world. No one organisation can meet these demands.

The “more of the same” provides a level of comfort that leads Chinese businesses to present the same ideas and products to overseas businesses, even when the technology has changed, e.g., Powerwall replacing lithium with sodium in batteries. Sodium has been commercially available for the last few years. No one is offering the charge (early 2026), even though sodium offers clear operational benefits over lithium.

When working with Chinese suppliers, it can take a while to find the right products when you get into the details. “More of the same” vs technology that will last the lifetime of the investment.
