Asian governments are accelerating the opportunities for cooperation and collaboration to support the region’s efforts towards achieving the 2050 net zero transition targets. There are major challenges to overcome. $2 trillion infrastructure investments needed over the next decade to enable just SEA’s energy transition and to close the region’s 3-4Gt gap to Paris-aligned annual emissions. This year ACES focuses on the big impact opportunities for a smoother clean energy transition. We profile how regulators, utilities, customers, and urban asset owners are preparing for net zero implementation.

Role of financing – Accelerating the net-zero transition
Only dramatic change of energy sources will ensure that countries and companies hits their net zero targets. This presentation considers how ready ASEAN is to deliver on the net zero vision the most effective pathways for investors .
Panel discussion: Cross border clean energy partnerships to support the net-zero target
ASEAN has abundant renewable resource availability. However, to access it, future power grids will require smart electrification solutions with cross border capabilities. Persuading countries to rely on each other is challenging but the intermittent nature of solar and wind energy also makes it inevitable.
Achieving operational decarbonisation in a carbon intensive industry
In this session we profile a energy intensive business that is committed to re-setting its energy strategy to meet net zero results.
Panel discussion: Net Zero partnerships – Change in energy use pathways to support net zero ambitions
Credible decarbonization plans are critical to reducing emissions, scaling up climate solutions and building momentum among stakeholders in the value chain. In this panel we discuss the challenges of making real change by corporates and how this impacts the business model strategy and partnerships they need to build.

The Singapore-IRENA High-level Forum, organised by Energy Market Authority (EMA) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in partnership with SEAS, will focus on the role of green energy financing and investments in realising the full potential of end user decarbonisation technologies towards a net-zero future.
Despite the progress in the energy transition , investments in the energy transition continues to remain fragmented and concentrated, with regions such as Southeast Asia and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region (excluding China, Japan, India) accounting for less than 8% of the total global investments. These trends clearly underscores the gaps and disparities in the energy transition which have exposed the risks that emerging countries and regions would find themselves in building critically needed energy projects that are crucial in ensuring energy security and resiliency. This is especially critical for regions such as Southeast Asia in the face of a surge in energy demand and the effects of climate change where plans are underway to accelerate the region’s energy transition and initiatives under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC).
Against this backdrop, Singapore and IRENA will co-host the 2nd- High-level Forum at SIEW 2022 with the theme “Realising Green Energy Financing and Decarbonisation Opportunities for a Net-Zero Future. This Forum provides an opportunity for high level government representatives, financial institutions, development partners and industry leaders, to come together to take stock and identify green financing pathways to strengthen the pathways for end use decarbonisation technologies in the road to net-zero.
To develop future-proof energy systems, solar + storage developers are harnessing technology and project engineering tailored specifically for flexibility – the problem area for coal fired generators. But to reach net zero, we need solar + storage to develop baseload capabilities. Large-scale solar and wind generation now come in at parity with traditional baseload resources from a pricing standpoint. However, they’re intermittent. Large-scale storage solutions are being developed to over-come this problem. The Solar and Storage track targets the innovators who are redefining the solar + storage strategy.

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 looklike ?
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.
Welcome Address
Scaling up electric mobility
Is it a technological challenge or consumer mindset myth? EV’s today have a range of 300 kilometres on a full charge but range anxiety and inability to “refuel” easily is often cited as a reason for adoption.

Panel Discussion: Building a sustainable Electric Vehicle battery supply chain
The sales of electric cars are booming, but the rising demand for transition minerals will pose a challenge for the mining industry who are struggling to meet demand. Improving the security of supply of these minerals and creating less dependency on other countries is already at the forefront of many governments' minds.

Decarbonisation 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.

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.
