This episode of Energy Insights critically examines the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), an initiative aimed at advancing decarbonisation across 11 countries in Asia and the Pacific. While AZEC aspires to promote regional collaboration and sustainable energy development, its dependence on fossil fuel-based technologies, including LNG, CCS, and ammonia co-firing, raises important questions about its alignment with decarbonisation goals.
Drawing on insights from the Asia Zero Emission Community’s Fossil Fuel Dependency report, the discussion explores the environmental, economic, and policy challenges impeding Asia’s energy transition. Topics include the region’s vast renewable energy potential, such as Indonesia’s significant solar capacity and Vietnam’s progress in wind energy, alongside the pressing need to prioritise renewables and phase out fossil fuels.
Offering actionable strategies, the episode highlights how robust policies, regional collaboration, and technological innovation can drive Asia towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
