Global Hydrogen Review 2025 Southeast Asia
…but faces competition from China. In the maritime sector, more than 85% of total energy demand is from international shipping in Singapore, which is pursuing a multi-fuel strategy, performing trials and defining technical standards for ammonia and methanol bunkering. In aviation, demand is concentrated in a few airports, so supplying these with synthetic fuel could make large strides towards decarbonisation.Near-term actions include prioritising renewables deployment, which could have positive consequences for the hydrogen sector, such as a lower cost of capital, industry experience and standardised processes. Pilot projects that enable gradual learning for large projects can be…

Coal 2025 Investments in coal projects and emissions abatement
New projects increase the capacity of the project pipeline Forthcoming export-oriented coal projects in our database have a total capacity of 493 Mtpa at the time of writing, 63 Mtpa higher than in our previous report. This increase in the project pipeline is due to improved research on Indonesia rather than more projects actually being developed. This report classifies projects as either more advanced or less advanced based on whether they have received the necessary approvals and permits in their respective countries. The capacity of less-advanced projects declined from 275 Mtpa to 210 Mtpa. Some projects failed to obtain environmental approvals due…

Energy Efficiency 2024 How is the dumping of inefficient equipment affecting efficiency progress?
…been defined by the Duke University School of Law as “the practice of exporting to another country or territory products that contain hazardous substances; have environmental performance lower than is in the interest of consumers or that is contrary to the interests of local and global commons; or can undermine the ability of the importing country to fulfil international environmental treaty commitments”. Dumping therefore includes the export of equipment that is treated as waste in the receiving country, equipment that is sold on second-hand markets, or new first-hand equipment that is of inferior environmental and energy consumption performance…
