The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) organized a two-day workshop in Jakarta, Indonesia, for the 'ASEAN Low-Carbon Energy Technologies Roadmap (ALERT) Phase I' study focusing on hydrogen and ammonia. Supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) Japan, the workshop aimed to disseminate key findings and recommendations for the implementation of hydrogen and ammonia technologies in ASEAN's decarbonisation strategy. Representatives from nine ASEAN Member States, including stakeholders like RE-SSN, HAPUA, and ASCOPE, participated in discussions on the future of hydrogen in the region. Presentations covered global trends, the hydrogen value chain, and case studies from ASEAN countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
The workshop emphasized the importance of policy frameworks, safety standards, and financial incentives to propel the adoption of hydrogen technologies in ASEAN. Breakout sessions explored the challenges in funding, investment strategies, and sectoral mandates necessary for hydrogen development. Panel discussions highlighted the need for regional collaboration and cross-sector cooperation to address these challenges effectively. The workshop served as a platform for key stakeholders in ASEAN to come together, share insights, and pave the way for a sustainable hydrogen future in the region.
