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.

Inside Asia’s Floating Solar Panels Boom

Floating solar farms provide a way for solar adoption in areas without adequate land – often in lakes and the ocean. When combined with existing hydroelectric dams, floating solar continues to become more enticing. The technology will likely play a major role in many Asian countries reaching their net-zero targets over the next several decades.

Green Energy Companies Driving the Net-Zero Transition

While the global energy transition is a collective effort, it won't be possible without green energy companies driving the innovation the industry. We look at some of the leading sustainable energy companies and technology manufactures and their plans to influence net-zero goals.

Best Renewable Resource Examples in Energy

What are the best renewable resource examples for energy sources? Wind, solar and hydropower are some of the most common and cleanest.

The Proposed Vietnam PDP8 Update and the Risks From the Coal Pivot

The recently proposed update to the Vietnam PDP8 draft risks deteriorating the country's clean energy progress. Experts are united around the idea that the drafted coal pivot will surface various negatives, including lack of financing, slower clean energy transition, increased climate impact, and increased reputational risk for the country.

South Korea’s Renewable Energy Transition and Its Barriers

An analysis of the main obstacles that slow down the renewable energy transition in South Korea and the country's efforts to achieve net-zero by 2050.

Importance of Climate Finance and Climate Change to Strengthen Global Solidarity

Analysts are clear: climate financing is insufficient and unevenly distributed. Developing Asian countries, especially those in the south, have to be the most concerned, considering they are the most vulnerable to climate crisis impacts.

Renewable Energy in Singapore: Sources, Plan and Strategy

Over 95% of the energy currently consumed in Singapore is from LNG and oil. However, the country has robust renewable energy targets for the next several decades, largely driven by local solar energy production and importing clean energy from neighbouring countries.

Solar Power in Singapore: A Shining Energy Source

Singapore is working to meet 28% of its peak power demand with solar energy by 2030. The country chose solar as its main renewable energy focus due to its high levels of solar irradiance and limited land area. To meet these targets, Singapore will need to invest in innovative approaches to harness its solar power, like floating PV systems.

Potential of Renewable Energy in Japan

Japan's road towards renewable energy dominance in the country's mix won't be smooth, it is feasible and will unlock several energy investment opportunities.

Top Carbon Capture Projects in 2022

Carbon capture has seen a steady increase over the last several decades. The largest concentration of CCS facilities is currently found in North America, but several other regions are pushing to increase their capacity over the next decade. Carbon capture has yet to see widespread implementation, but as the technology improves and costs decline, we expect to see its adoption increase.

Carbon Capture: Can This Technology Save Our Future?

Carbon capture technology is being implemented across the world. For hard-to-decarbonise industries, this is a potential pathway to remove unavoidable emissions. But, the question remains: what role should carbon capture play in other industries? Some experts see carbon capture as a distraction from the wide-scale adoption of renewables and a way for companies to maintain a "business-as-usual" approach.

New Carbon Capture Technology: A Ray of Hope

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.
