The IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2023: Global and Asian Gas Demand to Peak by 2030
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that while clean energy adoption is accelerating rapidly, current policies will still push global warming to 2.4°C, far beyond the Paris Agreement's target. Global leaders must make COP28 count by pledging to achieve the IEA's five pillars for getting back on track.
Southeast Asia Prefers Renewables, But Misplaced Fears of High Costs Delay Adoption
Southeast Asia has immense clean energy potential, and experts estimate that capitalising on it will unlock massive gains. With renewables being the cheapest source of new power in countries comprising two-thirds of the global population and responsible for 90% of electricity generation, switching to renewables will help Southeast Asian countries ease the burden of fossil fuel subsidies on their economies.
Wind Energy in Japan: Prospects, Benefits and Future
While Japan’s government increasingly considers wind energy a viable option, the progress is still sluggish. Accelerating it requires addressing various administrative burdens and introducing more ambitious policies.
IEA: Urgent and Joint Action Needed To Keep the 1.5°C Target Alive
The IEA's latest report is clear: global leaders either take urgent and collective action now or miss the 1.5°C target.
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.
Breakthrough Agenda 2023: Cooperation Key to Advancing Clean Technologies
The clean energy transition is advancing but not at a pace adequate for a net-zero scenario. The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2023 recommends governments strengthen collaboration and ease regulatory burdens to accelerate clean technology deployment.
Wind Energy in Malaysia – Protentional 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.
A Bumpy Road Ahead for Malaysia’s Net-zero 2050 Ambitions
With diminishing oil and gas resources, costly fossil fuel subsidies and rising sea levels and temperatures, the pressure is on for Malaysia to pursue its net-zero targets.
Climate Change in South Korea: Floods, Heat and Looking Away
South Korea's strategy to address climate change's impacts is reactive, not proactive, while its newly adopted policies and upcoming plans continue to undermine renewables.
