Triple-Helix: Achieving ASEAN’s Energy Transition

As the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) aims to create a single market integration in Southeast Asia, rising energy demand arising from rapid economic growth will need to be addressed.

According to the 6th ASEAN Energy Outlook, ASEAN’s energy demand will increase substantially by 146 percent by 2040. Aside from energy security issues, the aftermath of this rising energy demand is the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, potentially reaching 4,171 Mt CO2-eq in 2040. Therefore, it is a significant concern for the region to sustain the rising energy demand, especially concerning the vulnerability due to the climate change impact in the area.
