Queensland wants to enlist local businesses to make parts for industrial-scale renewable energy generators, and eventually export them worldwide.
The state government last week launched its plan to supply 80 per cent of the state's electricity demand from hydropower, wind and solar farms by 2035.
Deputy Premier Steven Miles says the $62 billion transformation will need more than 2000 wind towers, more than 7000 wind turbine blades, more than 25 million solar modules and almost 7000 batteries.
He says the government wants to buy those parts from local manufacturers, but currently there aren't any producing them.
Mr Miles is called for Queensland firms to register their interest in making large-scale renewable components.
Treasury is also sounding out the market and investigating how public investment could help potential manufacturers scale up.
"We get the chance to use our purchasing power to drive local manufacturing, which means even more local jobs," Mr Miles said in a statement on Tuesday
"Delivering this equipment presents an incredible economic opportunity for Queensland.
"We want to seize this opportunity by manufacturing as much of this renewable energy equipment as possible right here in Queensland."
The government also wants to scale-up production enough for Queensland to export them, and take on dominant global manufacturers in China and Vietnam.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Queensland has the capabilities and abundant raw materials, such as rare earth minerals, needed to make its own parts.
"We know that we can make trains here in Queensland, we know that we can make electrolysers and batteries here in Queensland," she said.
"We want to take our rare minerals, our world-leading skills and all of that clean energy we'll be generating, to make the ingredients of our $62 billion energy and jobs plan right here in Queensland, and of course also export those components to the world."
Meanwhile, the government has also defended clearing land for large-scale energy projects such as the Kaban Wind Farm, southwest of Cairns.
The part-finished 157MW project near Ravenshoe, which was connected to the grid on Tuesday, sits on a 1300 hectare site surrounded by nature reserves, which is close to the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
Energy Minister Mick de Brenni said decisions on project locations were only made after considering the impacts on the environment, local communities and costs.
However, he said harm from land clearances for renewable energy projects needed to be weighed against the harm of climate change.
"We really need to make a decision as a civilisation to act on climate change and prevent horrific firestorms wiping out entire forests, wiping out entire ecosystems," Mr de Brenni said.
