Elections in Asia 2022 and Their Effect on the Region
The recent elections in South Korea, Australia and the Philippines have helped paint a picture of the region's net-zero journey. While the new leaders of the three countries have announced some ambitious goals, the overall sense is that more could be done, considering the vast renewable energy potential of the region.
Promising Renewable Energy Statistics 2022 – Revealed By New Global Status Report
Despite the tremendous growth in new renewable energy additions, the energy system transformation is sluggish and fossil fuels continue to be the backbone of the global energy system. Without more engagement on the political front, global decarbonisation will remain a pipe dream.
Will Oil-Producing Countries Remain Stable in a Decarbonising World
Fossil fuel-dependent countries should be actively looking to balance the trade-off between transitioning to a renewable energy-dominated power system and maintaining a stable economy without putting pressure on society. While the goal is challenging, it is possible.
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.
South Australia’s Renewable Energy Revolution
South Australia's renewable energy revolution has just begun. It is the first Australian state to reach and exceed its renewable targets - made possible through collaborative efforts and appropriate legislative processes and public policies.
A New Supply Chain Crunch: Renewable Energy Commodities
The next decade will see a boom in demand for renewable energy commodities. However, the world is seemingly not ready to meet it and supply chain crunches from high-impact, low-probability events like the COVID-19 might further complicate the process, delaying the global decarbonisation progress.
Liberal vs Labour – Who Has the Best Energy Policy in the 2022 Australian Election?
The energy policies of the Labour and the Liberal parties will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the upcoming election in Australia. The importance of decarbonisation strategies and taking action has never been greater. Judging by the parties' announced plans, they are up for the challenge.
Asia’s Race to Net-Zero by 2030
Achieving net-zero is the world's top priority. So far, Asia lags behind in its effort to go carbon-neutral. Renewable energy is the key.
Debunking Net-Zero in Asia: Is It Even Possible?
Net-zero by 2050 in Asia is the desirable scenario, but, judging by the current progress,...
The Typhoon Turbine: How Renewables are Harnessing Extreme Weather
Challenergy's typhoon proof turbine is designed to continue producing energy at wind speeds of up to 40 m/s, substantially higher than conventional turbines. This design is being tested throughout Asia and looks promising. Typhoon resistant renewable energy systems are a key player in carrying the region's energy grid into the next generation.
Is “Greenflation” behind Higher Global Energy Prices?
Greenflation is a real risk on the mind of many renewable energy experts and rising commodity prices could increase the cost of the energy transition.
IPCC Report: Climate Finance for Adaptation Must Increase for Developing Countries
The latest IPCC Working Group II report largely stresses the need to accelerate climate adaptation, eradicate injustice and end the use of fossil fuels. The report, ‘Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability,’ emphasised that coal and other fossil fuels are choking humanity.
