Dow Corning CEO Bob Hansen is among the founding members of a new CEO-level industry coalition called the Global Solar Council that will work to expand the global deployment of solar energy in a sustainable and cost-competitive way.
The council said it will advocate for a supportive policy and trade environment, "which will enable the ongoing development of competitively priced solar energy, driving job creation and economic growth."
"Solar energy has already proven itself a viable contribution to energy sources in many markets, particularly in the EU and the U.S., and the industry continues to improve the cost-effectiveness of this technology," Hansen said in a press release from the council.
"The Global Solar Council will enable us to continue the expansion of cost-effective solar power in collaboration with governments and other stakeholders."
The council said it believes that governments should continue to reduce trade barriers through favorable policy regimes, energy market access, reducing import duties on manufacturing inputs, providing pre-competitive research and development support and other measures that will allow firms to lower their costs and compete at lower prices.
