False Solutions to Climate Change Promoted in Southeast Asia Pose Various Risks
Instead of helping Southeast Asia wean itself off fossil fuels, ammonia-hydrogen co-firing solutions and CCS risk perpetuating their use and locking climate-vulnerable countries into a future of high emissions, air pollution and ecosystem disruption.
Why Does Japan Rely on Fossil Fuels?
Japan is often overlooked in the conversation about the biggest climate offenders. However, in their current form, Japan’s plans for “clean coal” and hydrogen pose a major risk, extending the life of fossil fuels.
The Problem With Japan’s Carbon Neutrality Targets and Climate Strategy
Japan is a hotspot for technology advancements, research and development. Few can rival its ability to create and scale new technologies and bring them to the market. Yet, the leadership has been questionable at best regarding climate progress and energy policy ambition.
Hydrogen Cost: Can We Afford It?
Due to an immature market and technology, green hydrogen is not yet cost-competitive with fossil fuel-derived hydrogen. Government policy will be crucial in reducing these costs by facilitating private sector involvement and developing market demand.
Japanese Technology Expansion: Southeast Asia Pays the Price
This year's G7 meeting, which Japan will chair, remains an important moment for its international credibility in the battle against the climate crisis.
Types of Hydrogen: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
There are three main types of hydrogen that are categorised based on the production method and type of energy input.
Japan’s Hydrogen Strategy – A Detour to Carbon Neutrality
A country as developed as Japan should be leading the global clean energy transition. Yet, the progress within its domestic energy market leaves a lot to be desired. What the country needs is to focus on measures aligned to the vision for a more sustainable Japan. And prioritizing renewables instead of hydrogen might be a good starting point.
Oil Majors Spend More on Spin, Less on “Green Hydrogen”
Several oil companies have stated goals to reduce their emissions. Often a key piece of this plan focuses on increasing natural gas production and investing in hydrogen energy. Unfortunately, there are many types of hydrogen energy and only one type is sustainable - green hydrogen. Currently, green hydrogen only accounts for a fraction of total hydrogen production.
The 7 Guiding Principles for Clean Hydrogen Energy Deployment
The hydrogen industry has long been reliant on fossil fuels. However, things are starting to change. Several companies are already making progress in clean hydrogen project and technology development. The introduction of the seven guiding principles, alongside the decreasing costs, marks the start of a new era that will allow governments and organizations to capitalize on green hydrogen's potential to streamline their decarbonization efforts.
