BlackRock unit, Chow Energy partner to develop C&I solar projects

The project will reduce a million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

BlackRock’s flagship public-private finance vehicle Climate Finance Partnership (CPF) entered an agreement to support Chow Energy’s development of over one gigawatt (GW) domestic greenfield commercial and industrial solar project in Thailand.

In a joint statement, BlackRock said Chow Energy’s project is expected to cut one million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over its lifetime.

“We are delighted to make our first venture in Thailand, one of the early movers for renewables in the region,” said Valerie Speth, APAC Co-Head of Climate Infrastructure, BlackRock.

“We look forward to supporting Chow Energy’s business expansion, as well as continuing to scale our CFP platform to mobilize capital into climate-related investments in emerging markets that require it most, with the goal of expediting the transition to a low carbon economy,” Speth added.

This will also contribute to Thailand’s goal to achieve 30% renewable capacity by 2037.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
