With energy consumption in the region expected to grow 40% this decade, climate-warming carbon dioxide emissions remain on the rise, with the region still dependent on fossil fuels, said an annual report compiled by Bain, green investment group GenZero, Standard Chartered Bank, and Temasek. Clean energy accounts for just 10% of total supplies, and fossil fuel subsidies are around five times higher than renewable investments. High capital costs, as well as uncertain grid and tariff regulations, have also made it harder to finance renewable projects.
“It doesn’t allow much room for renewables to grow… so there is a need for creative financing approaches,” he told a conference in Singapore. “The good news is that Southeast Asia is very early on its decarbonization journey so benefits from having many levers to reduce emissions today,” said Tan. “Many of these are low-hanging fruit.”
