Day 1 | 9 September: Powering ASEAN's Realistic Energy Transition
Shaping ASEAN with the Realistic Energy Transition
The opening plenary focuses on ASEAN's journey towards carbon neutrality while ensuring energy security, including renewable energy integration, digitalisation, financing, regulatory framework and incentives to encourage a holistic energy transition.
Industrial Decarbonisation
This stream address strategies and policies for reducing carbon emissions in industrial sectors. This includes mitigating CBAM implications, promoting renewable energy adoption and energy efficiency, improving emission data, exploring carbon pricing, and fostering public-private partnerships.
Renewables
This stream concentrates on the deployment and integration of renewable energy sources, particularly for industrial decarbonisation.
Grid Resilience
This stream focuses on enhancing the power grid's ability to withstand and recover from disruptions by leveraging digitalisation, advanced analytics, AI, and smart grid solutions to improve reliability, flexibility, security, and cross-border connectivity.
Thermal Transition
This stream examines the evolving role of thermal power generation in the energy transition, from natural gas as transition and other strategies in ensuring energy security and affordability.
Day 2 | 10 September: Regulatory Frameworks, Nuclear Advancement, Captive Power and More
Clean Mobility
This stream focuses on the transition to sustainable transportation, emphasizing the integration of mobility and electricity, building a green mobility ecosystem, developing charging infrastructure, and exploring alternative clean transport technologies.
Sustainable Fuels
This stream examines the potential and challenges of sustainable fuels, particularly hydrogen, taking an ecosystem approach to infrastructure needs, cost reduction, and regulatory collaboration.
Captive Power
This stream discusses decentralised electricity access and the role of corporate power purchase agreements (CPPAs) in driving investment and scalability.
Nuclear
This stream examines the key drivers for sustainable nuclear energy development in Asia, including stakeholder management, technology advancements, regulatory frameworks, and the potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Energy Retail
This stream focuses on optimising energy storage solutions to enhance the integration of renewable energy sources, evaluating different storage technologies, addressing intermittency, and exploring scalability and sustainability.
Enabling Technologies
This stream focuses on various technologies that enable decarbonization, including CCUS in heavy industry, scaling innovation for net-zero industries, and exploring waste-to-energy opportunities.
Decentralised Energy
This stream focuses on the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and smart substations to enhance urban resilience, grid stability, and the integration of renewable energy.
Day 3 | 11 September: Financing Decarbonisation and Navigating Carbon Markets for Sustainable Growth
Financing Decarbonisation
This plenary is dedicated to the financial aspects of achieving a sustainable regional energy transition, including financing transition assets, risk management and more.
Carbon Trading
This plenary explores the strategic role of carbon markets in accelerating decarbonisation, covering lessons learned from existing markets, key market mechanisms, the role of carbon pricing, policy integration, and the future of voluntary and regulated markets.
