Opening Ceremony & Clean Energy Leaders' Dialogue
In 2026, the Dialogue zeroes in on Asia’s energy trilemma: delivering speed, security and social stability together. It confronts the reality that coal and gas will not disappear overnight, and that transition plans must be sequenced, not idealised. At the same time, it showcases how leading markets and companies are already delivering 24/7 carbon free power, closing real transition finance transactions, and advancing regional interconnection projects that cut costs and improve resilience.
The CELD is designed to be highly practical and commercially relevant: ministers hear directly from investors on what makes pipelines bankable; utilities and system operators share how they are managing high renewable penetration; and large energy users and digital players explain how their demand can anchor new clean energy and grid projects. The outcome is not a set of declarations, but a shared understanding of specific policy, market and investment moves that can unlock the next wave of clean energy deployment in Asia.

Solar and Storage
The 2026 Solar & Storage session is the definitive execution clinic for Asia’s renewable energy sector. Moving beyond the "what" and "why" of clean energy targets, this programme laser-focuses on the "how": how to build in congested grids, how to finance in merchant markets, and how to meet the surging 24/7 power demands of the digital economy. It acknowledges that while solar is now the cheapest electron in Asia, its scalability is threatened by infrastructure bottlenecks, rising complexity in revenue models, and tougher trade compliance.
This session offers a linear roadmap from market opportunity to asset operation. We confront the hardest problems facing the industry in 2026: navigating connection queues, structuring hybrid PPAs, and securing bankable offtake. By bringing together the entire value chain, from policymakers to data centre operators, this session transforms from a talking shop into a deal-making platform where the next generation of Asian clean energy projects finds its footing.

Sustainable Fuels
Asia’s energy transition cannot be delivered by electrons alone. Sustainable fuels are now at the center of how the region will decarbonize out the aviation, maritime, power and heavy industry while keeping energy secure and affordable. Sustainable Fuels Day will bring together utilities, airlines, shipping lines, fuel producers, feedstock suppliers, policymakers, financiers and port/airport operators to tackle one fundamental question: How do we turn Asia's waste, residues and biomass into reliable energy solutions – and scale sustainable fuels fast enough to make meaningful progress in the sectors that are hardest to electrify?
The programme is structured around a clear journey. The morning focuses on the power sector: waste to energy, biomass, biogas, biomethane and renewable gases for grids and industry, and the regional feedstock networks needed to support them. The afternoon shifts to aviation and shipping, examining how Sustainable Aviation Fuel, marine biofuels and advanced fuels can be produced, traded and bunkered through key regional hubs to serve some of the world’s busiest skies and sea lanes.
Throughout, discussions stay anchored in real projects and bankable models—building robust cross border feedstock supply chains, structuring long term offtake and PPAs, aligning sustainability standards and certification, and leveraging established trading, finance and logistics centres as platforms for regional scale up of SAF, marine fuels and renewable gases.

Session 04
Reducing emissions from the transportation sector is one of the key ways to combat climate change. Electrifying mobility is propelling new technologies, empowering consumers to take concrete action and also expecting policy makers to pave the way with conducive.
What will the future of electric mobility look like?
In the next 10 years, battery-powered electric motorbikes, cars, buses and ferries will increase demand for electricity and the storage capacity. "behind the meter" solutions will also be part of the energy systems. This convergence will change the roles and business models of existing energy players and create opportunities for new market entrants, such as the real estate sector. Our event focuses on how these e-mobility stakeholders are working together to support the net zero strategy and how our infrastructure will change to reflect electrification of mobility.

Session 05
Decarbonization has become a forerunner in today’s clean energy transition with governments and businesses navigating the challenging pathway to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2050. While there is increasing consensus on the need for newer and transformative low-carbon technologies, it is also necessary to tap the potential offered by energy efficiency. The energy efficiency track in the ACES 2022 aims to bring together leading experts in policy, technology, and financing to exchange and share their experiences on the opportunities and mechanisms that can be scaled up for implementation. It will also provide a platform for experts and practitioners to present and discuss the recent trends, innovations, and solutions adopted at the national and sectoral levels.

Session 06
Green hydrogen produces zero emissions, and many believe it holds the key to limiting global warming. But the technology is still in its infancy. Generating sufficient quantities of green hydrogen would require a lot more renewable energy than is currently available. Right now, almost all hydrogen is produced using natural gas in a process that generates large amounts of carbon dioxide. While challenges certainly exist in the green hydrogen sector, countries like India are counting on it to get them a target of 50% of renewable energy contribution to energy mix by 2030. This event showcases the progress the green hydrogen strategy is making across ASEAN markets.

Session 07
Jointly organized by Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS)
Countries in Asia and the Pacific are committed to fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to realize the Paris Agreement. Also, many have set net-zero targets by mid-century. While renewable energy deployment has been considered to be the primary solution, the transition to net-zero emission requires an assessment of other available and feasible technologies. Transformation timeline and sunk capital in existing energy infrastructure are other factors to consider.
One readily available technology for decarbonization is Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS). Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage is a proven technology that has been around since the early 1990s. Storage of CO2, combined with utilization, offers a long-term solution for low-carbon development. Despite the absence of government incentives, other stakeholders are keen to explore the conversion of CO2 to other uses such as fuels and chemicals. Proving the viability of various CO2 uses can lead to financial and economic returns and can encourage CO2 abatement in developing countries of Asia and the Pacific.
Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been supporting CCUS in Asia and the Pacific since 2009. It is actively working with the governments, research institutes and industries in training professionals, sharing knowledge, helping conduct feasibility studies, and formulating CCUS-related regulations.
ADB, in partnership with the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS), has organized this workshop to inform on the status of CCUS development globally and discuss ways to effectively promote and deploy CCUS. Presentations will include newer technologies that may be deployed together for large reduction of CO2 emissions, and insights into Singapore’s preparation to use CCUS for decarbonization. The roles and needs of stakeholders will be discussed to better fit CCUS into the low-carbon agenda.

*By invite only
Singapore’s Energy landscape is transforming and is enroute to achieve climate ambitions amidst different constraints. We have about 5,200 solar installations (as of 2021) in a tropical environment. In tandem, several MWh of ESS is being deployed to enhance grid resilience and the energy mix is becoming green with regional power imports with room for other low carbon alternatives for the long-term. While at the demand side, several sectors, especially transportation, is being electrified at a rapid pace. It is certain that achieving NetZero ambitions in this dynamic scenario, needs a coherent & conjoint effort. This event will discuss on the electrification impacts and NetZero mechanisms, especially in an urban context, and share viewpoints on how Industry & Academia could converge to solve challenges in this non-linear Energy Transition pathway.
