Balancing Energy & Environment for Sustainable Development in the Greater Mekong Subregion: First Planning and Consultation Workshop on the GMS Energy Strategy
Asian Development Bank | June 2007
Abstract
This planning and consultation Workshop presented an overview of the key challenges facing the GMS in the energy sector, the study objectives,scope, and timetable. The key energy challenges identified included: (a) rapid energy demand growth; (b) population without access to modern forms of energy services; (c) quality of energy supply; (d) energy security; (e) energy efficiency; (f) environment issues; (g) expanding private sector participation; and (h) institutional and policy issues. The study was designed to: (a) help articulate a clear a vision for GMS energy cooperation in the energy sector; (b) develop a strategy to meet energy challenges until 2020; (c) identify priority investment projects for the public and private sectors; and (d) draw up an operating framework for enhancing regional energy security.

From Strategy to Practice: The Tonle Sap Initiative August 2006
Serrat, Olivier (Asian Development Bank, 2006-08-06)The Tonle Sap is a natural phenomenon. In the rainy season, the level of water in the Mekong River exceeds the elevation of the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and forces the Tonle Sap River to flow upstream. The lake swells and fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, and plants thrive on this reverse hydrology. The Tonle Sap Basin Strategy promotes an approach that conserves nature and offers ...The Tonle Sap is a natural phenomenon.

Energy Infrastructure for Decarbonizing Other Energy Sectors Through Renewable Electricity - A Spatio-Temporal Analysis from Useful Energy Demand to Renewable Energy Supply of Sector Coupling Pathways Based on the German Case
Kockel, Christina; Nolting, Lars; Priesmann, Jan; Praktiknjo, Aaron (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2020-10-30)While progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is notable in the power sector, other sectors such as transportation and often heating are lagging behind. A strategy to propagate greenhouse gas emission reductions from the power sector to other sectors is so-called “sector coupling.” Against this backdrop, we ask the following two questions: (1) To what extent does demand for (useful and final) ...While progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is notable in the power sector, other sectors such as transportation and often heating are lagging behind.

Energy Storage for Renewable Energy Integration in ASEAN and East Asian Countries: Prospects of Hydrogen as a Energy Carrier vs. Other Alternatives
Li, Yanfei; Taghizadeh-Hesary, Farhad (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia, 2020-09-15)This study investigates the economics of using hydrogen to store renewable energy and subsequently consumed by downstream applications in ASEAN and East Asian countries. For the power sector, the cost of storing and then delivering each kilowatt-hour of renewable energy, which includes the cost of producing hydrogen, transporting and storing hydrogen, and then converting it into electricity, is ...This study investigates the economics of using hydrogen to store renewable energy and subsequently consumed by downstream applications in ASEAN and East Asian countries.

Same Energy, More Power: Accelerating Energy Efficiency in Asia
Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2013-06-01)This report examines prospects for ADB to ramp up efforts in the region for greater utilization of demand-side energy efficiency, the most cost-effective source of energy supply. The report further identifies global and regional trends that are driving Asia’s energy demand and the resulting policy and regulatory environment for energy efficiency.This report examines prospects for ADB to ramp up efforts in the region for greater utilization of demand-side energy efficiency, the most cost-effective source of energy supply.
