China’s Hydrogen Strategy for Olympics 2022: Pushing Green Hydrogen Transport
The Beijing Olympics are being powered by 100% renewable energy. A significant part of this is public transportation vehicles that run on green hydrogen. What does this mean for the future of hydrogen energy in Asia?
The Global Energy Transition: How the World Sees It
The global energy transition is a reality. Public pressure, falling renewable energy costs, and improving technology are driving the change. The coming decade will be a pivotal point in this transition and will likely dictate whether we meet the international climate goals.
Energy Transition in Asia: Balancing Two Sides
Asia's energy transition has been largely lackluster. Several of the world's largest polluters are found in the region and emissions rates have been steadily climbing. But with China leading the clean energy transition in Asia, will the region be able to spur forward?
What Is The Current Energy Transition Strategy?
Successfully switching to renewable energy requires a well thought out strategy. There are multiple stages in the transition, and each must be considered.
Where Does India Stand in the Energy Transition?
India has one of the largest installed renewable energy capacities globally, but the country's current share of renewable energy does not cover its "fair share" of decarbonisation efforts. However, with its GDP steadily growing, it is perfect timing for India to capitalise on renewables.
Energy Transition in Singapore: A Renewable Energy Leader in Asia
The WEF's 2021 Energy Transition Index puts Singapore as the highest rated country in Asia. Despite the country's lack of resources, they have developed a unique strategy focusing on clean energy. Here's a look at how Singapore does it.
Energy Transition Fund – Capitalising on Renewable Energy
The global change to renewable energy has largely been financed by governments and public institutions but the energy transition cannot be fully funded by governments. There is significant room for the private sector to become more involved.
Energy Efficiency in Cambodia – Paving the Way in Southeast Asia
Making progress on the energy efficiency and the renewable energy capacity development fronts is detrimental to the world’s net-zero aspirations. And while some countries are still dragging their feet, Cambodia has set the blueprint on how to progress on both.
The Role of the Asian Development Bank in Southeast Asia’s Energy Transition
To ensure a seamless and successful energy transition, ASEAN countries should actively pursue public funding, regional cooperation and energy market redesign. How is the Asian Development Bank aiding the transition to clean energy?
Hin Kong – Could the Thailand Gas Project Derail AIIB’s Reputation?
The AIIB will later this month decide whether to fund Hin Kong, a 1,400 MW gas project in Thailand. However, the voices against such a decision are getting louder and louder. Will AIIB take the right step?
What the 2021 China Wind Power Boom Means for the World
China is a central actor for the world’s energy and climate future. As such, the latest figures about the rapid growth of the new solar and wind power capacity in the country in 2021 send a positive signal for the world's net-zero journey.
The ASEAN Energy Outlook 2022- Advancing Energy Transition Through Innovation
The ASEAN energy outlook is promising – the countries have laid the groundwork and are ready for the energy transition. The potential is there - but where should we start?
The Factors Determining the Energy Transition in Asian Economies
While the level of economic development is essential for the energy transition progress, developing Asian economies prove it isn't everything. What are the factors for Asian economies to transition to net-zero?
Asia-Pacific’s Role in Climate Diplomacy
Fossil fuel rich countries have historically controlled climate diplomacy. As the world transitions to renewable energy, these countries will lose their global pull. This opens the door for countries to dictate their own future without the risk of damaging relationships with energy exporting allies.
