Part one of a four-part series on ETM deals in Southeast Asia. 2024 is shaping up to be the year when markets learn how Energy Transition Mechanisms (ETMs) will continue to evolve in different Southeast Asian markets. ETMs are initiatives aimed at financing early coal retirement transactions. Their flexibility can be a strength if it improves policy alignment—and begins to deliver a pipeline of bankable deals.

Southeast Asian countries are being misled about the emissions savings potential of co-firing ammonia with coal. New analysis by TransitionZero confirms that converting Asian coal power plants to run on ammonia would be an immense waste of capital that could do more climate harm than good.

China is doubling down on coal in a bid to prevent more summer power shortages. But more capacity will only add to the structural underutilisation, operational inefficiencies and financial losses blighting the county’s electricity system.

The $20 billion JETP deal unveiled at last month’s G20 could finance the early closure of half of Indonesia's existing coal plants – but the devil is in the detail on climate impact.

Coal saved China’s hydro-reliant provinces during this summer’s extreme drought. But using thermal plants to prop up the grid during dry periods risks exacerbating the problem of water stress.

Memperkenalkan Coal Asset Transition (CAT) Tool, hasil-hasilnya untuk Indonesia dan implikasinya bagi pembuat kebijakan dan pemodal yang mengerjakan penghapusan batubara secara bertahap.

Introducing the Coal Asset Transition (CAT) Tool, its results for Indonesia and the implications for policymakers and financiers working on coal phase out.

The Coal-to-Clean Carbon Price Index estimates the carbon price required to incentivise fuel switching from coal to clean energy, leapfrogging fossil gas.

As the EU looks to phase out Russian gas and coal following the Ukraine invasion, our analysis shows there is a strong economic incentive for an immediate switch to clean energy.

報告：日本の電力部門の脱炭素化における石炭新発電技術の役割

Report on the role of advanced coal technologies in power sector decarbonisation in Japan. Ammonia co-firing, carbon capture and storage, coal gasification.

New analysis by TransitionZero shows that nearly 3,000 coal plants must be closed by 2030 to align with a 1.5C pathway. COP26 must be the end of coal.

Fuel price volatility underscores the need for continued reform of China’s electricity market to achieve its carbon neutrality goal.
