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...

Fuel choices and flexibility: The next phase of Asia’s LNG growth

Asia’s fast-growing economies are central to global LNG demand, even as tighter markets and higher prices strain energy systems. Urbanisation, industrial growth and rising power use are driving the need for reliable, affordable gas, while increasing sensitivity to volatility. In Southeast Asia, LNG supports grid reliability; elsewhere it competes with coal, renewables and nuclear. Sustaining demand will depend on infrastructure, diversified supply and contract flexibility in a tighter market.Aud... Read More

Ammonia in action: Scaling utilisation across energy, maritime, and industrial value chains

Ammonia accounts for 43% of offtake from global hydrogen projects, and half of all southeast Asian hydrogen demand [Hydrogen Council]. Its ability to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries such as steel, cement, and shipping, is a key strategic advantage. However, research shows that the maritime industry represents only 1% of binding offtake, revealing significant untapped potential [Hydrogen Council].Although high production costs are a barrier to widespread use, ammonia’s status as a globally t...

The new power trilemma: Sovereignty, transition and competitiveness

The classic energy trilemma has been reframed by the disruptions of 2026. Economies that advanced electrification proved more resilient, while those dependent on fossil imports faced acute price and supply shocks. The question is no longer whether to electrify, but how to do so while strengthening competitiveness and strategic positioning. Sovereign clean power is now seen as a route to import independence, but the pace of transition must be balanced against stranded asset risk, critical mineral... Read More
