Southeast Asia Information Platform for the Energy Transition - SIPET

📣 SIPET Highlights is out: https://lnkd.in/gC4ZeuNP Read the latest newsletter from SIPET Highlights! Each month, we invite experts from Southeast Asia to share their work on important aspects of the unfolding Energy Transition. In this issue, SIPET focuses on the critical role of the Energy Transition Mechanism (ETMs) in Southeast Asia's evolving energy landscape, developed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The issue includes reports, perspectives, and tools from NewClimate Institute, CASE for Southeast Asia, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), TransitionZero, and Global Energy Monitor. The phase-out of coal will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. 🔗 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gNtj3UPF #SIPET #EnergyTransitionMechanism #CoalPhaseOut #Decarbonization 

SIPET is thrilled to introduce Asian Development Bank (ADB)'s Green Finance Hub (GFH), which is launched on ADB Southeast Asia Development Solutions (SEADS). This initiative is crucial for developing sustainable and bankable infrastructure projects across the region, promoting environmental resilience and economic growth. The GFH builds green and innovative financing models, mechanisms, and capacities to develop a scalable pipeline of green and bankable infrastructure projects across Southeast Asia.

🌐 ASEAN Energy Data Highlights Did you know? From 2010 to 2019, only 15.8% of the development finance designated for energy-gender initiatives were deployed for renewable energy (RE) projects, while the majority were directed towards coal-fired power plants, electric power transmission and distribution in centralised grids. Gender Equality in ASEAN Energy booklet outlines the ASEAN region’s commitment to gender equality within the energy sector, recognizing the critical role of gender equality and women’s empowerment in achieving a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable community. 🔗 Read more on ACE website: https://lnkd.in/geeWqAyg

Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities and Forum for the Future conducted a situational analysis of the ecological and social impacts that may emerge with the scaling of renewable energy. This report answers:  1.) How these impacts are currently governed 2.) How market actors respond to these impacts 3.) How the initiative might effectively contribute towards creating a renewable energy system that is more socially just and ecologically sound. 📚 Full report: https://lnkd.in/gGxJ-7cm 👉 Visit SIPET’s Knowledge Hub for more details: https://lnkd.in/ec8jdfRX

Check out the publication by Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) and Berkeley Lab “Industry Decarbonization Roadmaps for Indonesia: Opportunities and Challenges to net-zero emissions” 📚 Full report: https://lnkd.in/g6KGkB3m As Indonesia is the fourth-most populous country in the world with a fast-growing economy, its industrial sector is one of the largest CO2-emitting sectors in Indonesia. Decarbonizing the industrial sector is critical to achieving Indonesia's enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The purpose of this report is to present sector specific roadmaps, status, and decarbonization pathways that can substantially reduce the CO2 emissions of Indonesia’s Industry sector. 👉 Visit SIPET’s Knowledge Hub for more details: https://lnkd.in/ec8jdfRX
