Global Energy Transition Index – Quantifying Progress
The Energy Transition Index is a score of how well a country is doing in their energy transition. Ultimately, this tool can be used to identify areas that need funding, support, or incentives to speed up change.
10 Types of Greenwashing
As demand for sustainable products and companies has grown, so has the rate of greenwashing. Understanding the different methods used in greenwashing is a valuable tool in avoiding brands that use the practice.
Energy Crisis in Bangladesh Highlights Risks of Fossil Fuels
Bangladesh sources most of its energy from fossil fuels, with natural gas making up the lion's share. Due to COVID-related supply chain issues and global political instability, fossil fuel prices are steadily climbing. As a result, the country has had to halt natural gas imports, leading to rolling blackouts. This highlights the risks associated with fossil fuel reliance and the need for local renewable energy production.
The Renewable Energy Policy in Vietnam Risks Deterring Investors
Maintaining a healthy ongoing dialogue with clean energy investors and project developers is critical if Vietnam is to get back on track and continue stunning the world with its renewable energy progress.
South Korea’s Energy Mix and Its 10th Basic Energy Plan
South Korea's decarbonisation progress so far makes hitting its 2030 and 2050 targets unrealistic. In its current form, the 10th Basic Energy Plan that will come into force this year is unlikely to change that. The country needs more ambitious renewable energy targets, a sentiment also echoed by South Korea's biggest businesses.
Malaysia’s Energy Transition: Challenges and Opportunities
Malaysia has great potential for clean energy alternatives like solar and hydropower. On paper, its energy transition is already mapped out. The question is whether it will follow this path or lock itself into a future of fossil fuel energy dependence.
Green Transportation in South Korea – a Key Enabler for the Net-Zero Revolution
South Korea is facing an uphill battle to make notable progress towards clean energy in line with the Paris Agreement commitments. Green transportation appears to be one of the most powerful tools in the government's arsenal. The opportunities in the industry are huge, while the challenges are solvable.
Wind Energy in Malaysia – Potential for Growth
Malaysia has limited capacity for wind energy due to geographic and climate factors. As a result, the country's renewable energy programs primarily focus on solar and hydropower. However, wind energy can be useful in select regions with higher than average wind energy capacity.
Southeast Asia’s New Gas Projects Hit Record High, Report Shows
Southeast Asia is ramping up investment in new natural gas fields. However, this new gas emits even more CO2 emissions when used for the region's power sector. Renewables offer both a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative.
Battery Energy Storage Systems Development – ASEAN Members Fall Behind
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming an integral part of the global push to develop renewable energy sources to rein in carbon emissions from fossil fuel-based power projects. However, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) bloc is falling behind in technology implementation due to a lack of awareness and policy initiatives.
Environmental Issues Around San Miguel Corporation Deter Investors
In one way or another, SMC is a part of the daily life of many Filipinos and its actions have serious implications. Financiers and investors should be wary of this.
Solar Energy in the Philippines – Current State and Future
The Philippines has been steadily investing in building out its solar energy capacity. The country's high levels of solar irradiation and large density of islands make solar a great choice. Hopefully, the Philippines can be a leader for the region and provide an example to neighbouring countries regarding the implementation of wide-scale renewable energy.
Hydropower in the Philippines – Role and Future
The Philippines aims to generate 35% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. This plan will increase hydropower capacity by over 160% through incentivising local and foreign investment. The Department of Energy has already approved 450 new hydropower facilities in recent years, and we expect this trend to continue into the coming decades.
5 Global LNG Projects 2024
Increasing demand has been driving up LNG prices since 2021. Experts expect that this demand will continue to grow, and without new LNG infrastructure, demand will outstrip supply. Luckily, several major LNG projects are in progress, and more are expected to follow.
