Fossil Fuel Projects Cost More Than Expanding Renewables, Analysts Say
Solar, wind and geothermal energy offer cheaper, faster-to-deploy and socially responsible solutions for the future of energy. Yet in Asia, these clear advantages are overshadowed by the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), where Japan advocates for a future that keeps fossil fuels in play under the guise of green innovation.
How AZEC and Japan Are Pushing Fossil Fuel-based Solutions in Asia
The Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), launched by Japan in 2023 to promote regional decarbonisation, has drawn criticism for prioritising fossil fuel-based technologies like LNG, ammonia co-firing, and carbon capture over renewables such as wind and solar. Experts argue that these "false solutions" perpetuate fossil fuel dependency, risk derailing emissions targets and harm frontline communities while offering limited decarbonisation potential.
Renewable Energy
How Can Technology Help the Environment?
Researchers and scientists have provided solutions to address the climate crisis and safeguard the environment. Ongoing innovations from them will enhance the affordability, scalability, and efficiency of these solutions. The next step involves increasing the necessary investments to implement these solutions effectively.
Fossil Fuel
When Will Fossil Fuels Run Out?
Fossil fuels are finite, and the world's reserves are running out. This is primarily driven by the world's continuously growing demand for energy. Renewable energy adoption must be expedited to fill this energy gap and speed up the transition from fossil fuels.
