South Korea, Indonesia ink deal for nuclear energy cooperation

It was one of the 16 agreements signed by the parties during the ASEAN Summit 2023.

Companies from South Korea and Indonesia signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to cooperate in “nurturing a nuclear energy industrial base,” and in other areas of the energy and mobility sector.

In a statement, South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) said the deal on nuclear cooperation is one of 16 MOUS signed at the Business Roundtable during Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s attendance at the ASEAN Summit 2023 in Jakarta.

Of the 16 MOUs, five were agreements in electric power and clean energy for eco-friendly equipment, green ammonia, carbon capture and storage, and electric power devices. They also signed two agreements for electric and integrated parking solutions in the mobility sector.

Two deals were inked for establishing research and development centres in critical minerals and supply chain, one on biodegradable “white bio” in resources recycling, and three regarding root industries, construction equipment and fashion retailing.

The parties also signed two agreements in healthcare policies for health facilities consignment and ASEAN policy research.

MOTIE said the Korean and Indonesian governments will closely collaborate for the seamless implementation of follow-up measures of the agreements through the rolling out of incentives and official development assistance support.

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.
