TRANSITIONING ASIA TOWARDS CARBON NEUTRALITY
TRANSITIONING ASIA TOWARDS CARBON NEUTRALITY
Energy trilemma revolves around harmonising the often-opposing objectives of energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic affordability. Ensuring accessible energy prices has long been the top priority for Asian economies on their journey to net zero. The question remains: how will the region simultaneously meet the demands of carbon neutrality while striking a balance between maintaining a dependable energy supply, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and offering affordable rates to businesses and consumers? Governments, industries, and communities collaborate to navigate this complex path, actively seeking innovative solutions and policy frameworks to address the energy trilemma and shape a sustainable, low-carbon future, all the while safeguarding their economies and energy systems.
UTILISING GAS AS TRANSITION FUEL: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
UTILISING GAS AS TRANSITION FUEL: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
The use of gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) is pivotal in responding to rising energy demands while reducing carbon emissions. Asia's industrialisation and urbanisation have increased energy needs, making gas and LNG attractive options for cleaner energy transition. Simultaneously, investments in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and methane abatement projects underscore Asia's commitment to curbing emissions. This comprehensive approach positions the region as a vital contributor to global efforts towards net zero.
HARNESSING HYDROGEN, AMMONIA AND ALTERNATIVE FUELS
HARNESSING HYDROGEN, AMMONIA AND ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Building a hydrogen economy is not without its challenges. Overcoming issues related to cost, infrastructure, and scalability is essential. Despite the challenges, the global push towards a hydrogen economy is gaining momentum while hydrogen hubs are starting to emerge in Asia. Governments, industries, and research institutions worldwide are investing in research, development, and infrastructure to make this vision a reality. The transition to a hydrogen economy represents a critical step in the pursuit of a sustainable, low-carbon future, promising cleaner energy, reduced emissions, and a pathway to combating climate change.
Renewable energy in Asia has surged as a critical response to energy security and environmental concerns. Home to one of the world's fastest-growing economies, Asia is increasingly investing in wind, solar, hydropower, and biomass sources. The development and investments in renewables are reshaping the region's energy landscape, fostering innovation, reducing emissions, and promoting sustainability. Challenges in renewable energy development include intermittency of energy sources, requiring efficient energy storage solutions, and navigating regulatory complexities. However, these challenges present substantial opportunities for investment in advanced technologies and infrastructure, fostering the seamless integration of renewable energy into the grid.
The ASEAN region is embracing a critical transformation in its energy infrastructure, aimed at fostering sustainability and interconnectivity. Strengthening the grid is vital to enable multilateral electricity trade, uphold shared decarbonization goals, and tap into the region's rich renewable energy resources. This initiative not only attracts investments in low-carbon projects but also creates new markets, bolsters energy reliability, and streamlines the energy supply chain while minimizing redundancy. Interconnected grids, exemplified by the Laos-PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project, illustrate the region's progress towards a unified ASEAN Power Grid, marking a milestone in its journey toward a more resilient, cost-effective, and accessible energy.
DIGITALISATION, A KEY ENABLER FOR ENERGY TRANSITION
DIGITALISATION, A KEY ENABLER FOR ENERGY TRANSITION
As the energy landscape evolves, operators face the challenge of managing an increasing number of energy resources and growing demand. To address this, complex communication systems to effectively oversee distributed energy resources (DER) and maintain network reliability are being developed. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) play a pivotal role in monitoring supply and demand, reducing infrastructure costs, and ensuring a resilient grid. The future grid's success relies on digital technologies, requiring new investments. The digital twin, encompassing network and asset twins, identifies potential risks, streamlining maintenance and facilitating smarter network utilization. This paves the way for a more intricate and efficient grid system, accommodating electric vehicle charging points and solar panels with minimal human intervention.
