Study on the Applicability of Comprehensive and Optimal Carbon-neutral Solutions in ASEAN in Energy Transition report for the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) has been published

JCOAL had been entrusted by ERIA (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia; headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia) to conduct the study based on the outcomes of the previous study that outlines technology options and tailored approaches for achieving carbon neutrality that align with each country's specific circumstances in terms of applicability, availability, and affordability.

Thanks to the support of the working group members from relevant ASEAN Member States (AMS) as well as ERIA researchers, the study that continued from November 2021 to November 2022 successfully completed.

 

This study focuses on Indonesia for non-grid end grid stabilisation technologies to support mitigating possible grid fluctuations during the energy transition. It also looks at Thailand for biomass utilisation through gasification and fuel conversion processes, both of which are yet to receive due attention from policymakers. The proposed combination of technologies and recommended policy measures under the sub-studies on Indonesia and Thailand are expected to inspire AMS to identify their own solutions for energy transition, either individually or collectively.

 

We are pleased to share the report that is published on the ERIA website.
