The State of Low-Carbon Hydrogen in Southeast Asia: Local Challenges and Global Trends
Date and Time: September 23, 2024 from 9:00pm HST
CLIMATE CHANGE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA PROGRAMME
About the Webinar
Southeast Asia faces an urgent need to decarbonise as energy demand rises rapidly across the region. While many countries have set ambitious climate goals, including carbon neutrality pledges, significant obstacles remain. Low-carbon hydrogen initially generated considerable excitement within Southeast Asia due to its potential to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, enhance energy security and export potential. However, actual developments have been slow, with many projects still in the early phase and significant infrastructure and policy challenges remaining. In this seminar, the speakers will share their views on the state of low-carbon hydrogen developments in Southeast Asia and how developments are affected by global hydrogen trends.
