The Asia Pacific division of EDP Renewables, EDPR Sunseap, and PlasticBean, a unit of Archwey’s sustainable materials engineering Group, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The MOU’s goal is to investigate the use of 100% recycled plastic in upcoming floating photovoltaic solar farm projects in Indonesia, Singapore, and South Korea. The thermoplastic recycled material known as BLUEWAVE® is made from marine plastics, plastics that float in the water, post-consumer waste, and post-industrial waste. It repurposes plastic garbage that would otherwise wind up in our seas and is collected at riverbanks and coastal areas in some of the world’s most…

As India moves forward with its multibillion-dollar renewable program, a Singapore-based company is closely monitoring the potential for producing wind energy in deep waters off Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. “Strong winds across deep seas off Gujarat and Tamil Nadu are best suited for installing larger wind turbines, ranging in size from 12 MW to 18 MW, and produce renewable energy 24 hours a day at a competitive price,” according to Anil Bhatia, Vice President for Renewable and Hybrid Energy at HBA. “Since the New Delhi government just announced a tender for a block of 4,000 MW wind energy development, we…
Recently, Huawei Technologies Cambodia and the Ministry of Mines and Energy jointly signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for “technical collaboration on solar energy and communications and information technology.” Suy Sem, the minister of mines and energy, and Wang Wentian, the Chinese ambassador to Cambodia, attended the signing event. The MoU places a particular emphasis on working together to explore technical standards, safety, and the coordination of solar energy with a networked system to safeguard the stability of the power grid. To prevent any potential negative effects on the provision of electricity when using solar energy, the agreement establishes collaborative…
A new report from Guidehouse Insights has held that Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa currently lead the energy access microgrids market and are expected to continue leading the energy access across microgrids market through 2031. Revenue from microgrid investments in Asia Pacific will likely reach $7.7 billion by 2031, and microgrid revenue in Middle East & Africa is expected to reach $8.9 billion by 2031. The Guidehouse report provides global analyses for annual deployments of energy access microgrid projects in terms of power capacity and project deployment spending. These analyses cover the 10-year period from 2022-2031 and are…

The announcement comes as G20 members meet in Bali. Mowilex intends to install panels at its Cikande factory, as well, and will eventually bring solar to all operational facilities. The official statement held that a new parking lot solar canopy now captures sunlight while shading cars at the Mowilex headquarters. The system produces the maximum energy output allowed by current state electric company regulations and will cut carbon emissions at…
Indonesia recently inked agreements with significant countries and international lenders on the sidelines of G20. The deal will pave the way for billions of dollars as finance to support the country’s increased use of renewable energy and decreased reliance on coal. On the eve of the Group of 20 meeting in Bali, Indonesia, the $20 billion deal was revealed. It is intended to assist developing nations in lessening their reliance on fossil fuels like coal and gas that produce carbon emissions that contribute to climate change.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states have reaffirmed their decarbonisation commitments, and currently, nine out of 10 governments have pledged to achieve net zero targets by 2050. The reason behind this could be that by 2050, the economic and demographic expansion in Southeast Asia will cause a roughly 2.5-fold rise in energy demand and the amount of CO2 emissions associated with energy would double along with this growth. Since achieving these goals depends heavily on a successful transition to renewable energy sources, IRENA has been working with the ASEAN members to map out a course for such…
