Low Carbon Solutions Strategic Programme

The focus is shifting from early-stage innovation to deployment at scale, with growing attention on industrial transformation and technologies addressing hard-to-abate emissions. The Low Carbon Solutions Strategic Programme will bring together energy leaders, investors and innovators to explore scalable, investable pathways that support energy security, industrial competitiveness and a lower-emissions future.

On track or off course? Navigating the path towards lower carbon energy systems

Energy transformation is entering a decisive phase. Global demand is surging and clean energy investment is approaching US $2tn annually, yet fossil fuels still supply over 80% of primary energy [IEA] and emissions reductions remain off track. Geopolitical pressures are shifting the focus from speed to durability and security, with pace and pathways diverging across regions. Lower carbon capacity is expanding, but system integration is lagging. Grid bottlenecks, gaps in firm capacity and outdate... Read More

Backing the next wave: Structuring capital to scale low carbon solutions

Capital availability is no longer the primary barrier to scaling low carbon technologies – the challenge now lies in managing the risks of early commercial projects and designing financial structures that bring solutions to market. Lower carbon projects lack stable carbon pricing and long-term revenue certainty, while nascent supply chains and complex financing add further risk. Understanding what drives project success is critical to accelerating deployment. The need is particularly urgent in A... Read More

Banking on CCUS: What’s real, what’s next, and how to deliver at scale

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is widely recognised as essential to decarbonising hard-to-abate industries, yet across Asia-Pacific no segment of the value chain has reached sustained commercial scale. The barriers are structural, not technical: a tenfold gap between full-chain costs and regional carbon price benchmarks [BCG], underdeveloped cross-border transport infrastructure, unresolved storage liability frameworks, and limited utilisation pathways that could turn captured ca...

AI for methane: Transforming detection and quantification into verifiable action on emissions

Reducing methane emissions and routine flaring remains one of the most immediate and commercially actionable opportunities to lower emissions across the energy value chain, with the Global Methane Pledge targeting a 30% cut by 2030 and combined public and private funding surpassing US $1bn. Advances in AI have sharpened detection and measurement, making methane data more accessible across operations. Yet improved visibility has not consistently translated into lower emissions, where methane inte... Read More

Democratising high-impact low carbon solutions in emerging markets

Emerging and high-growth economies are expected to account for around 80% of the rise in global electricity demand by 2030 [IEA], driven by energy security needs and industrial expansion. High-impact climate technologies can deliver reliable, affordable power while strengthening long-term economic resilience, yet deployment remains constrained by cost gaps, infrastructure readiness and limited access to concessional capital and risk-sharing mechanisms. The markets with the fastest demand growth ... Read More

AI x energy security: The nuclear opportunity

AI-driven electricity demand is reshaping how digital infrastructure is powered, with data centre energy use projected to more than double by 2030 to around 945 TWh [IEA]. Nuclear energy – high-capacity, stable and low carbon – offers a strategic option for meeting continuous AI-driven load. Life extensions of existing plants and growing interest in small modular reactors appeal to policymakers and hyperscalers seeking long-term supply security, while AI-driven safety monitoring and performance ...

The great energy trade-off: Security vs decarbonisation vs growth

Southeast Asia is advancing energy transition strategies while managing rapid demand growth, industrialisation and the need for reliable, affordable supply. Countries are expanding renewables while continuing to depend on existing fuels to maintain system stability and support economic development. Balancing these priorities demands careful sequencing of investment, infrastructure and policy – shaped by grid capacity, financing constraints and exposure to global fuel markets. Pathways are diverg... Read More
