How the Unreliability and Unpredictability of Fossil Fuels Hurt Bangladesh
Bangladesh has suffered enough from fossil fuel import dependence and has experienced first-hand how the dirtiest fuels affect the climate. However, thanks to its clean energy potential, the country holds the keys to an independent and sustainable future.
The Electricity Sector in Bangladesh: What Comes Next?
Transitioning the power sector in Bangladesh towards renewable energy would unlock massive benefits for the country, its economy and society.
EV Growth Gains Momentum in Southeast Asia
Electric vehicle (EV) sales growth in Southeast Asia is gaining momentum. However, hurdles still need to be overcome, including using fossil fuel-based power generation to charge EVs, a lack of infrastructure and investment and insufficient government incentives.
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.
Does Japan Care About the Environment
Japan's role as this year's president of the G7 is pushing its subpar environmental performance into the spotlight. Inadequate emissions reduction goals, a high rate of fossil fuel imports and questionable fishing practices highlight this. These concerns will only grow more dire for the climate-vulnerable country and must be addressed.
Wind Energy in Vietnam – Opportunities and Potential
Vietnam has already established itself as one of the world's most notable clean energy success stories. However, to retain that crown, the country needs to incentivise foreign financiers.
Japan-Vietnam Energy Relations: Opportunities and Risks
Vietnam needs a partner that will prioritise its decarbonisation and access to affordable and ready-to-be deployed solutions to make the most of its clean energy potential. It doesn't need to be pushed towards distracting technologies with questionable decarbonisation credentials. The approach that Japan will take in its cooperation remains to be seen.
Energy Transition Technologies: Deficiencies of the Japan-led Guidelines
Recent guidelines on transition technologies for Asia, influenced by Japanese energy policies, promote CCUS and ammonia co-firing in the power sector. As a result, they risk derailing the decarbonisation efforts of SEA countries and the financing institutions investing in transition technologies.
Driving Change: The Story of Electric Vehicles in Indonesia
The EV transition is taking the world by storm. While emerging markets remain the last bastion of legacy automakers, they will soon also embrace the transport industry's electrification. And Indonesia promises to be among the best examples of the EV revolution.
Google Turns Sustainability Initiatives Into Reality
Google is known for being at the forefront of sustainability. Its initiatives are far reaching, ambitious and transparent. This goes beyond internal targets, like being carbon-neutral by 2030, but extends to how it influences the world and helps consumers make informed, sustainable choices. Its programs make it a sustainability leader in the technology industry.
What Will It Take For Japan To Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050?
Japan prepares to host this year’s G7 meeting in light of public criticism for its lack of decarbonisation progress and a continued obsession with fossil fuels. However, the country is now uniquely positioned to prove its critics wrong. Doing so will unleash various positives, both for Japan and the region.
South Korea’s Energy Mix and Its 10th Basic Energy Plan
South Korea's decarbonisation progress so far makes hitting its 2030 and 2050 targets unrealistic. In its current form, the 10th Basic Energy Plan that will come into force this year is unlikely to change that. The country needs more ambitious renewable energy targets, a sentiment also echoed by South Korea's biggest businesses.
Clean Energy Technologies 2023: Opportunities and Risks of the New Energy Economy
The clean energy revolution is well and truly underway and, China alone won't be able to satisfy the demand for renewable energy technologies. At the same time, investors are hungry for investments. By shaping carefully crafted industrial strategies and welcoming regulatory policies, Asian countries can position themselves for sustainable growth while decarbonising their economies.
