Renewables share in APAC’s electricity generation reaches 11%: report

This is behind the global figure of 12%.

Renewable energy accounted for 11% of the electricity generation in Asia Pacific, S&P Global Commodity Insights reported.

Dan Klein, head of Future Energy Pathways, at S&P Global Commodity Insights, said this is “slightly” behind the global figure of 12%.

“Overall, renewables account for 7% of primary energy supply globally, but that rises to 14% with hydro generation,” the report read.

In particular, renewables contribute 7% of primary energy supply in China, 11% in South Asia, and 5% in Southeast Asia.

“Total energy demand continues to grow faster than clean energy supply, and that includes

nuclear, hydro and other non-emitting resources. Emissions continue to increase each year,” the report also read.

“A young coal fleet—except in Australia--will delay incentives to retire coal plants early in Asia-Pacific.”

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.
