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.

5 Biggest Advantages and Disadvantages of Natural Gas
There are several pros and cons to using natural gas. While it is still a fossil fuel, it produces significantly less carbon dioxide than coal and oil. Yet, on the flip side, poor production practices, leaking transportation pipelines, and extreme price volatility raise questions about if it really is worth investing in.
Could the Rise of Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) Signal the Fall of Oil?
Vacuum gas oil (VGO) is a mix of hydrocarbons produced during the extraction of crude oil. Over several years, the use of VGO has skyrocketed, a sign that the oil industry to fighting to squeeze every bit of efficiency out of their extraction processes.

Carbon Capture vs Renewable Energy
The economic and decarbonisation deficiencies, combined with the health and environmental risks, cement CCUS's role as a complementary technology, mainly in hard-to-abate sectors, not a wildcard to perpetuate fossil fuel use.
Ammonia-Coal Co-firing Plans Risk Worsening the Air Quality Problem in India and Pakistan
Experts describe technologies like CCS and hydrogen-ammonia co-firing as false solutions to climate change since they will perpetuate the use of fossil fuels. However, scientific evidence indicates that they also pose air pollution and health risks – problems India and Pakistan already have to deal with.
Top 10 Uses of Natural Gas
Natural gas is increasing in popularity as an alternative to oil and coal. However, it is still a fossil fuel, producing carbon dioxide and methane emissions. The world needs to consider if natural gas is a viable fuel in the long term and should develop alternative renewable infrastructure.
