The Japan Net-Zero Commitments: Ambitious and Honest or Unrealistic and Hypocritical
Japan should be at the forefront of the clean energy transition. While the country has made multiple pledges, its actions and meaningful results are still lacking.
Plastic Pollution: Big Brands’ Greenwashing of Plastic Waste
A Reuters study suggests that less than 10% of all the plastic ever made has been recycled due to how costly it is to collect and sort it. However, plastic production will double within 20 years. While the problem comes from a single source, the consequences affect everyone.
Net-Zero Accountability and Its Critical Importance for Our Future
The lack of accountability has turned many net-zero pledges into PR tools. If this practice continues it will erode reputations and hinder financial outlooks and challenge action on climate change
The Future of Energy Transition Under S. Korea’s New President Yoon Suk-Yeol
President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol appears to be a wild card for South Korea's energy transition. On the one hand, he has blatantly stated that it is impossible to reach 100% renewable energy by 2050. On the other hand, he believes the country should strengthen its current renewable energy target for 2030. So where is South Korea headed for in the clean energy transition?
IPCC Report: Climate Finance for Adaptation Must Increase for Developing Countries
The latest IPCC Working Group II report largely stresses the need to accelerate climate adaptation, eradicate injustice and end the use of fossil fuels. The report, ‘Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability,’ emphasised that coal and other fossil fuels are choking humanity.
The Global LNG Market and Long-Term Contracts – A Barrier to Net-Zero 2050
Asian countries are becoming victims of the lack of flexibility in long-term gas contracts. However, the associated energy security risk, volatile prices and supply/demand imbalances don't top the agenda of the primary concerns. The incompatibility of gas with the global net-zero efforts does.

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?
Are Prosumers the Future of the Renewable Energy Transition?
Prosumers result from decentralized energy systems - they generate and use their own energy. This model is a crucial strategy for increasing electrification in remote areas, and the implementation of local microgrids allows prosumers to work in sync. Excess power generated can be sold throughout the community. Asia is ready for the rise of prosumers.
