TotalEnergies, Royal Group ink deal for expansion of new renewable energy projects

The memorandum of understanding will bolster Cambodia’s decarbonisation efforts.

TotalEnergies and Cambodia-based diversified conglomerate The Royal Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the joint development of new renewable energy projects and other decarbonisation initiatives in Cambodia.

Through the MoU, both parties will be able to leverage their expertise, with TotalEnergies advancing as a major energy player and The Royal Group broadening their experience in Cambodia’s local power projects.

“Combining the resources and skills of both organizations will ensure the best research and development of the most optimal renewable projects in Cambodia,” Neak Oknha Kith Meng, Chairman and CEO of Royal Group, said.

TotalEnergies is currently supporting the energy transition in Cambodia with the launch of a 74MWp solar PV project in Battambang.

 

The partnership aligns with TotalEnergies’ renewed commitment to the development of renewables in the Asian Pacific region with two upcoming solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in Thailand, Vietnam, and The Philippines (with a recent 10-year agreement).

The initiatives are estimated to support carbon emissions reductions equivalent to planting 16,800 trees in Thailand, 33,000 in Vietnam, and 200,000 in the Philippines.

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.
