Malaysia’s Energy Transition: Challenges and Opportunities

Malaysia has great potential for clean energy alternatives like solar and hydropower. On paper, its energy transition is already mapped out. The question is whether it will follow this path or lock itself into a future of fossil fuel energy dependence.

Green Transportation in South Korea – a Key Enabler for the Net-Zero Revolution

South Korea is facing an uphill battle to make notable progress towards clean energy in line with the Paris Agreement commitments. Green transportation appears to be one of the most powerful tools in the government's arsenal. The opportunities in the industry are huge, while the challenges are solvable.

Wind Energy in Malaysia – Potential 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.

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.

Solar Energy in the Philippines – Current State and Future

The Philippines has been steadily investing in building out its solar energy capacity. The country's high levels of solar irradiation and large density of islands make solar a great choice. Hopefully, the Philippines can be a leader for the region and provide an example to neighbouring countries regarding the implementation of wide-scale renewable energy.

Hydropower in the Philippines – Role and Future

The Philippines aims to generate 35% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. This plan will increase hydropower capacity by over 160% through incentivising local and foreign investment. The Department of Energy has already approved 450 new hydropower facilities in recent years, and we expect this trend to continue into the coming decades.

Types of Hydrogen: Grey, Blue and Green

There are three main types of hydrogen that are categorised based on the production method and type of energy input.

Top 10 Carbon Capture Companies in 2024

The carbon capture market is growing. This demand is being met by a variety of companies, ranging from startups to established fossil fuel giants. This trend will likely continue as the technology becomes more efficient and adoption continues to increase.

Carbon Capture Technology And How It Works

Carbon capture technology has come a long way over the past several decades, but it is still in the early stages of adoption. As a result, there are only three main types of carbon capture being used, with several new technologies currently in development. As carbon capture becomes more efficient, it will have a growing role to play in the world's low-carbon future.

Wind Energy in the Philippines – Present and Future

The Philippines has significant onshore and offshore wind potential, but it has remained largely untapped. However, with its renewable energy goals, a growing number of wind farms are appearing across the country. This includes the largest wind energy facility in Southeast Asia.

3 Top Carbon Capture Stocks in 2024

Publicly traded carbon capture companies range from startups to established fossil fuel majors. The industry is still fairly young, but market predictions show that carbon capture technology will grow significantly over the next several decades. For investors, this provides the opportunity to support the energy transition while investing in a possibly lucrative industry.

Southeast Asia Economy: Waiting for Green Investments

A new report by Bain & Company, GenZero, Standard Chartered and Temasek emphasises the necessity of significant investments to bolster the green energy shift in Southeast Asia. It highlights the inadequate current actions towards this transition and notes the challenge of meeting decarbonisation objectives amid rising energy needs in the region.

Top 7 Green Technology Examples in 2024

Green technology will undoubtedly be the leading driver for climate mitigation and the green energy transition, but technology alone is not enough. The adoption of nature-based solutions and reducing overall energy demand should also be considered an integral part of the world's decarbonisation plans.

Climate Change in Singapore: Impact, Response and Goals

Singapore's location and geography make it highly susceptible to the impacts of climate change. As a result, the country is implementing a wide array of policies to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for predicted future climate impacts.
