The Outlook for Electric Cooking in Asia
Many low-income households in developing Asia continue to use wood as the primary fuel for cooking. Despite the sufficient amount of electricity access, for most middle and high-income households across developed and developing Asian countries, gas and LPG remain the preferred choice. Governments have to stimulate the transition to electric cooking to help households ensure more affordable and cleaner cooking.
Is There a Future For Wind Turbines in Singapore?
Singapore has many road blocks in adopting low carbon energy, one of which is the lack of viability for wind turbines. The country's most efficient renewable energy option is solar energy. However, even solar faces its own challenges – mainly limited land. As an alternative, Singapore is looking toward its neighbouring nations to import low-carbon energy in pursuit of its net-zero goals.
Vietnam’s National Climate Change Strategy to 2050 and the Plan for Meeting Its COP26 Commitments
Vietnam's latest move is proving that despite the growing needs of its energy-hungry economy, it will actively pursue its net-zero commitment and prioritise climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts – a move that other Asian countries should take note of.
Korean and Japanese Companies in Vietnam Are the Main Gas Expansion Advocates
The pressure from Japanese and Korean companies on Vietnam to move in the direction of gas expansion risks tarnishing the country's clean energy progress and locking it into a future of energy instability, high electricity prices and stranded assets.
Vietnam’s Block B Gas Project – the Potential Impact on the Involved Parties
Vietnam has a vast potential for wind and solar power. Yet, the country pushes ahead with plans like the Block B gas project. In a world of highly-unpredictable gas prices where the end goal is net-zero, such a step can prove costly for all parties involved.
Power Crisis in India – Picking up the Pieces After the Heatwave
India’s poorest communities are still reeling from the intense heatwave that recently enveloped the country. At the same time, infrastructure assets are struggling to cope with this climatic upheaval. What could be the way out?
The Philippines’ Climate Policies and the Priorities for the New President
The new president and his administration will have to lead the Philippines through one of the most critical moments in the battle against climate change. Considering how much is at stake for the island country, the new leadership should pursue ambitious climate policies that abandon fossil fuels and prioritise renewables.
Technological Innovation Examples: A Balancing Act for Climate Impact
Technology plays an important role in dictating how the world develops. It has helped humans advance, and it exists across all industries. However, innovations that exploit the environment do come with consequences. We are still looking for a balance between innovation, sustainability and progress. But, time is running out.
Technology and Climate Change: Taking a Look At the Policy Gap
The world is rapidly developing technology to slow climate change. However, global policy to support this shift is slow, leaving local governments responsible. This has led to vast policy differences across regions, making it challenging for the world to meet the required decarbonisation goals.
Steel Producers Are Slow To Reduce Emissions
Steel plays an integral role in our modern world, yet it is also known for its high rate of emissions. One way to curtail these emissions is by implementing electric arc furnaces in production. While some countries have adopted this technology, others continue to develop facilities reliant on heavy-emitting technologies. Experts believe the steel industry is falling behind and may hinder the world from reaching net-zero by 2050.
2022 Heat Wave in India and Pakistan – New Scientific Report
The World Weather Attribution Indian Pakistan heatwave study is a reminder that the climate crisis grows more severe by the day.
The Economic Benefits of Renewable Energy for Asia: Crunching the Numbers
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in Asia will unleash massive economic benefits, including expanding the job market, ensuring steady GDP gains and hedging the unpredictable fossil fuel prices.
Are Exxon’s Asian Carbon Capture Intentions Genuine?
Exxon's carbon capture plans are grand. They hinge on developing an extensive CCS network centred in Singapore, connecting with the surrounding countries. Ultimately, this will facilitate the adoption of carbon capture in Southeast Asia and place Exxon at the centre of this growing market.
Does Wind Energy Have A Place In Singapore?
Singapore has grand plans for its renewable energy transition. This will primarily focus on domestic solar generation and the importation of renewable energy from neighbouring countries. Additionally, wind energy will likely have a small role to play. As low wind speed turbine technology improves, wind energy will become more viable for local generation.
