stratsea is proud to publish its inaugural report entitled “Renewable Energy & The Climate Crisis in Southeast Asia.” This report is a compilation of seven articles written by Southeast Asian experts which are divided into two sections: “Policies” and “Technologies.”
The first article under “Policies” written by Novia Xu covers the difficulties Indonesia faces in mitigating climate change. Subsequently, Calvin Khoe provides insights on the potential direction President Prabowo could take on renewable energy exports. In a co-authored article by Jitsai Santaputra and Muhammad Vito Hamzah, they iterate the importance of youth involvement in accelerating energy transition across Southeast Asia.
Under “Technologies”, Diofanny Swandrina Putri and Taqi Hammam Ariza outline how Indonesia has taken great strides in developing its Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) capability. Dr. Juita Mohamad next argues how implementing carbon pricing measures now may disrupt the competitiveness of local MSMEs in Malaysia. This compilation of curated articles ends with two articles written Assoc. Prof. Zul Ilham Bin Zulkiflee Lubes and Rif’at Abdillah highlighting electric vehicle regulations in their respective countries: Malaysia and Indonesia.
Via this and subsequent compilations of our article series, stratsea strives to heighten focus and facilitate constructive discussions within and outside Southeast Asia. Keep a look out for our next compilation on the impact of the Middle East conflict on Southeast Asia.
