The UC San Diego Power Transformation Lab and TransitionZero held a webinar bringing together new research insights and policy perspectives on how Southeast Asian economies, including Indonesia and Vietnam, are advancing their energy transitions and climate commitments.
The event featured presentations on low-carbon power generation and industrial transformation in key economies, building on new modeling results and reflections of progress and challenges on the ground. With the announcement of new climate commitments at the UN Conference of the Parties, the panel reflected on practical strategies for clean energy investment, policy coordination and regional cooperation in Southeast Asia’s low-carbon transition.
A system-wide analysis of how Indonesia’s industrial parks can decarbonize captive coal generation through on-site renewables, storage, and strategic grid connections aligned with national climate commitments.
This policy brief evaluates how Viet Nam can meet its 2030 JETP targets and move toward a more ambitious 2035 NDC. It shows that a 47% renewable portfolio standard already delivers emissions well below the 170 Mt JETP ceiling, and that front-loading utility-scale solar plus battery storage by 2030 makes a tighter 2035 cap cheap to achieve.
