#Renewableenergy surged to over 30% of global electricity in 2023, marking a significant milestone and indicating a potential decline in fossil fuel usage. #Solar power, especially, outpaced expectations, becoming the fastest-growing and largest source of new electricity. A comprehensive study by Ember covering 80 countries suggests a 2% decrease in fossil fuel generation ahead. However, fossil fuels remain dominant in other sectors. To meet UN targets, countries must triple renewable electricity capacity by 2030, aiming for 60% renewables, a move pivotal in reducing power sector emissions and combating climate change. https://lnkd.in/d9U97ude #thomaslloyd #renewableenergy #infrastructure #esg #netzero #asia #climatechange #sustainability #emergingmarkets #energytransition #electricity #biomass

The world is brimming with energy sources, from #hydropower to #solar and #wind. Yet, #biomass is gaining prominence for its diverse energy production methods. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has described #bioenergy as the world's "single largest renewable energy source today. #Biomass, organic material from plants and animals, includes wood, crops, and waste. Converted into bioenergy, it produces electricity, heat, and transport fuels, offering a viable alternative to petroleum. However, sustainable use is crucial to prevent environmental and social harm. Biomass remains a significant but nuanced player in the #renewableenergy landscape. https://lnkd.in/d-55z7Bj #thomaslloyd #renewableenergy #infrastructure #esg #netzero #asia #climatechange #sustainability #emergingmarkets #energytransition #electricity #biomass

The push for clean energy is urgent as we approach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). Progress is evident, with millions gaining electricity access and renewables rising in the energy mix. India stands out, showcasing successful #cleanenergy integration driven by robust policies and financial mobilisation. Diversifying supply chains and establishing multiple supply hubs, especially in developing countries, is crucial amidst global challenges like the pandemic. Unified carbon markets can further accelerate investment in #renewables. Collective action and international collaboration are imperative for a sustainable energy future.

In the midst of global turbulence, marked by the aftermath of the pandemic and geopolitical shifts, #Asia emerges as a pivotal player. Business leaders express optimism but acknowledge the need for strategic adjustments. The region's trade dynamics, particularly amidst rising tensions, are crucial, impacting technology flow and innovation. While Asia leads in manufacturing, it faces challenges in #energytransition and ageing demographics. Innovation and productivity are highlighted as essential for sustained growth, yet capital mobilisation and debt issues loom. Navigating these complexities will determine Asia's role in shaping the new global order. Success hinges on leveraging its historical dynamism and adaptability.

The IPCC emphasises the critical role of CO2 removal (#CDR) in achieving #NetZero by 2050, spotlighting its potential to neutralise residual emissions. Urgent action is needed, with estimates pointing to a substantial CDR capacity required by 2050. Both nature-based and technology-based solutions are pivotal, offering unique advantages. Nature-based options promise cost-effectiveness and long-term balance, while technology-based solutions ensure durable removals. Businesses must swiftly integrate #CDR into their strategies to meet net-zero commitments. It's a call to action for innovation and collaboration to combat climate change effectively.

Elections worldwide in 2024 are poised to shape the #energytransition's trajectory, impacting domestic policies and international climate efforts. Key contests in the US and Europe hold significant sway over #cleanenergy incentives and climate diplomacy. The US election, especially, could influence China's dominance in low-carbon technology supply chains. Meanwhile, India's election may accelerate #green investment, with Modi's approach balancing economic development and climate action. Election outcomes vary, with Brazil and Australia leaning towards green policies, while Argentina and New Zealand backtrack. Shifts in the EU, UK, and Mexico also signal potential changes in climate strategies.

Explorer and environmentalist Bertrand Piccard emphasises the importance of #energyefficiency alongside #renewableenergy. He highlights that three-quarters of global energy is wasted due to inefficiencies. He emphasizes that shifting solely to renewables without improving efficiency is futile. Piccard notes that approximately three-quarters of global energy is squandered due to inefficiencies. He urges a broader consideration of renewable sources beyond #wind and #solar, like #biogas and geothermal energy. Piccard warns of missed green energy targets if efficiency isn't prioritised. He discusses the paradox of China's oversupply of solar panels, acknowledging both benefits and challenges. Despite concerns, he credits China for driving down solar energy costs, essential for renewable energy advancement.

A recent report by the Debt Relief for Green and Inclusive Recovery Project (DRGR) highlights that emerging countries face a daunting challenge. They're projected to spend a staggering $400 billion on servicing external debt this year alone. However, 47 of these nations risk default within five years if they divert funds towards climate adaptation and sustainable development, crucial for meeting 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement goals. The report urges a global financial overhaul, debt forgiveness, and increased affordable financing to avert a looming crisis. It also calls for IMF to reconsider its debt sustainability assessments to factor in climate spending needs.

Southeast Asia is witnessing a resurgence in cross-border energy projects, notably the #ASEAN Power Grid (APG). However, there's growing discourse on ensuring a just transition, addressing socio-economic impacts. Projects offer economic benefits but also raise environmental and social concerns. The Just Energy Transition Partnership (#JETP) allocates funds to Indonesia and Vietnam for #renewableenergy transition. National frameworks emphasize domestic grid development, aligning with just transition principles. Incorporating community participation and grievance mechanisms in APG implementation could mitigate negative impacts. Despite challenges, integrating just transition principles can enhance the sustainability of cross-border energy initiatives in Southeast Asia.
