Solar Energy in Malaysia: A Bright Future or Dim Prospect?
Malaysia's renewable energy targets heavily rely on expanding its solar energy capacity. Meanwhile, the country is ideally located for large-scale solar adoption. However, government policies still need improvement, and significantly more investment is required to facilitate this transition.
G20 Summit 2023 in India: Leaders Fail on Fossil Fuel Phase-out and Emissions Cuts
While the proposed tripling of renewable energy capacity is a positive step, the lack of any mention of fossil fuel phase-out or concrete emission reduction targets is disappointing. Yet, both are indispensable for achieving the Paris Agreement targets.
A Bumpy Road Ahead for Malaysia’s Net-zero 2050 Ambitions
With diminishing oil and gas resources, costly fossil fuel subsidies and rising sea levels and temperatures, the pressure is on for Malaysia to pursue its net-zero targets.
Japan’s Energy Policy Is Turning It Into the World’s Climate Villain
Japan is quickly becoming the odd one at the table of the G7 regarding climate policies. Scientists, analysts and environmental and societal groups see it as the culprit of climate change inaction. It is time for Japanese governmental and corporate leadership to change that perception.
The LNG Plans For Samsung’s New Megaproject Threaten Its Reputation
Today, Samsung is far from being a climate leader - neither in terms of current progress nor when it comes to pledges. However, the company has all the means to become one. Advocating for more renewables and less fossil fuels in South Korea's climate policies is a crucial first step.
Natural Gas Rules in the Philippines Ignore High Costs and Economic Consequences [Op-Ed]
The Philippines' Department of Energy’s draft proposes electric utilities procure an unspecified share of gas and LNG power. While some gas may be needed to operate its existing fleet, an expansion of LNG is not aligned with energy security and affordability goals.
LNG Expansion in the Philippines Harms Communities and Coral – Podcast
Energy Insights spoke with Liza Osorio about the Philippines and San Miguel Corporations' LNG expansion impacts on communities and coral reefs.
Why K-pop Fans Are Taking on the World of Luxury Fashion
The issue of climate commitments in the luxury fashion industry is complex, as there are significant gaps in data available - with many luxury brands not disclosing their global supply chains, making it impossible to see the full scale of the issue. Luxury fashion houses have the power, social capital and assets to make meaningful climate commitments. For change to occur in the world of luxury fashion, it will have to start from the top.
Japan’s Carbon Capture Investments in Australia Pose Significant Financial Risk
Japan continues to fund carbon capture projects in Australia despite lacklustre results and high costs resulting in mounting financial losses.
Tata Power: Pioneering India’s Sustainable Energy Future
As one of the world's fastest-growing economies, India must take a leading role in embracing clean energy solutions to ensure a healthier future for its citizens and the planet. India’s energy transition requires mobilising significant financing from global capital providers, and Tata Power offers cues into how to do that effectively.
Ammonia Fuel Engine – Revolutionising Transportation
Ammonia engines combust ammonia using a similar process to standard internal combustion engines. However, ammonia's properties make it inefficient for several common use cases and give rise to dual-fuel engines. Both options are driving investment and innovation in the technology.
Climate Change in South Korea: Floods, Heat and Looking Away
South Korea's strategy to address climate change's impacts is reactive, not proactive, while its newly adopted policies and upcoming plans continue to undermine renewables.
Blue Ammonia Fuel: Usage, Projects and Future
Blue ammonia fuel uses natural gas as a feedstock for hydrogen production and applies carbon, capture and storage (CCS) to reduce overall emissions. However, the viability of CCS and its role in slowing the low-carbon energy transition are concerning. Renewable energy-reliant alternatives are available and should be the focus of decarbonisation efforts.
