Major LNG Liquefaction Projects 2023-2027
Global LNG capacity is set to increase by 35% by 2027, ushering in a new round of carbon emissions-intensive LNG projects. However, the world needs fewer fossil fuel project developments, not more, to reach net-zero by 2050.
SK E&S, K-Sure and Kexim Face Rising and Unquantified Risks With Their Backing of the Barossa Gas Project Off Northern Australia
The Export-Import Bank of Korea (Kexim) and the Korea Trade Insurance Corp (K-Sure) are risking Korean public money by financing SK E&S’ investment in the Barossa gas project off the coast of Northern Australia. The Korean government agencies funding and insuring the Barossa gas project face significant and mounting risks on two fronts – native title and climate-related risks.
The Future of Earth is at Risk: Thanks to Climate Change
The last IPCC report for the next few years gives a sobering assessment that the world is running out of time to tame the climate crisis. However, it also notes that the solutions are there for the taking.
The IEA’s Global Methane Tracker 2023: Methane Emissions Reduction No Longer Complicated or Expensive
The IEA's latest report, which includes valuable recommendations and an actionable roadmap for curbing methane emissions. It proves that the oil and gas industry and governments now have all the means to start working on methane emissions reduction.
The Future of Natural Gas In Asia
A recent ERIA-backed workshop calls for more natural gas usage in Asia until at least 2050. However, energy economics, long-term economic stability and climate mitigation dynamics throw doubt on those conclusions.
The Power Sector in Bangladesh Is Slowing Its Economic Growth
Bangladesh's energy crisis rocked the country in the second half of 2022. Brought on by record-high LNG prices, the country – which is heavily reliant on natural gas – had to limit local energy consumption. Rolling blackouts, power-shedding and other energy-saving measures have been significant roadblocks for the country's growing manufacturing sector.
Asia’s Role in the Russia-Ukraine War: One Year Later
A little over a year after the start of the war in Ukraine, CREA's data reveals that countries continue actively buying Russian fossil fuels, with Asian nations among the leading contributors to Russia's state budget.
Energy Transition Technologies: Deficiencies of the Japan-led Guidelines
Recent guidelines on transition technologies for Asia, influenced by Japanese energy policies, promote CCUS and ammonia co-firing in the power sector. As a result, they risk derailing the decarbonisation efforts of SEA countries and the financing institutions investing in transition technologies.
China’s Fossil Fuel Addiction and the Green Transition
China's renewables development leads the world by a more than a two-to-one ratio, but its fossil fuel usage still accounts for more than 50% of its power production needs, creating the world’s highest GHG emissions.
Greenwashing Ads: Fossil Fuel Giants Dominate Social Media
Social media platforms are proving the perfect environment for the oil and gas industry to run greenwashing campaigns. Without swift and adequate action, tech companies risk becoming complicit partners in delaying and derailing necessary climate action.
Driving Change: The Story of Electric Vehicles in Indonesia
The EV transition is taking the world by storm. While emerging markets remain the last bastion of legacy automakers, they will soon also embrace the transport industry's electrification. And Indonesia promises to be among the best examples of the EV revolution.
Japan’s ‘Green Transformation’ Would Derail the Energy Transition in Asia
Japan stopped exporting dirty coal technologies last year following pressure from campaigners. However, its new Green Transformation strategy relies on the continued use of fossil fuel-based technologies, and the country plans to prolong fossil fuels across Southeast Asia by promoting carbon capture, gas and the co-firing of ammonia at coal power plants.
Japan’s Hydrogen Plans: A Closer Look
Japan is basing much of its 2050 net-zero goals on hydrogen development without clearly defining what it considers "clean hydrogen". As such, its hydrogen plans mostly rely on blue hydrogen, which still involves burning fossil fuels.
Carbon Capture and Storage: Pros and Cons
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) provides a pathway towards reducing fossil fuel-related emissions and bolstering hard-to-abate carbon intensive industries. Additionally, it provides benefits like economic growth and job creation and can be crucial to the global low-carbon shift. However, questions remain regarding its high costs and varying effectiveness.
