Decarbonising Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities in Low-Carbon Hydrogen Development
Key Ideas
  • Southeast Asia faces a pressing need to decarbonise as energy demand escalates, despite obstacles in achieving ambitious climate goals.
  • Low-carbon hydrogen, once highly anticipated for decarbonisation, faces slow progress due to infrastructure and policy hindrances.
  • Speakers at the seminar will discuss the current state of low-carbon hydrogen projects in Southeast Asia and their alignment with global trends.
  • Experts like Mr. Karthik Hari and Ms. Anne-Sophie Corbeau will provide insights on the challenges and opportunities in advancing low-carbon hydrogen technology in the region.
Southeast Asia is confronted with the critical task of decarbonising its energy sector in the face of rapidly increasing energy demand. Despite setting ambitious climate goals, the region encounters significant hurdles on its path towards achieving carbon neutrality. Low-carbon hydrogen emerged as a promising solution to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, bolster energy security, and explore export opportunities. However, the actual progress in implementing low-carbon hydrogen projects has been sluggish, primarily due to existing infrastructure limitations and complex policy barriers. The webinar aims to shed light on the current status of low-carbon hydrogen initiatives in Southeast Asia and how these initiatives are influenced by the broader global hydrogen trends. Key speakers such as Mr. Karthik Hari and Ms. Anne-Sophie Corbeau will share their expertise during the seminar. Mr. Karthik, serving as the Director and Chief Decarbonization Researcher at Mizuho Bank Singapore, specializes in providing market research and advisory services on decarbonization topics for Japanese clientele in the Asia Oceania Region. On the other hand, Ms. Anne-Sophie Corbeau, a Global Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy, leads research on hydrogen and natural gas, drawing from over two decades of experience in the energy sector. Both experts will delve into the challenges and opportunities surrounding the advancement of low-carbon hydrogen technology in Southeast Asia, offering valuable insights to participants. The webinar will be conducted entirely online, emphasizing the importance of decarbonisation efforts in Southeast Asia and the role of low-carbon hydrogen in addressing energy sustainability. By registering for the webinar, attendees can gain a deeper understanding of the current landscape of low-carbon hydrogen in the region and its implications for the future of energy transition.
