Advancing the Green Economy Transition in ASEAN

The ASEAN International Conference on Energy and Environment (AICEE) provides a platform for researchers to share their findings and exchange innovations to address energy challenges in the region. At its 5 edition in 2025, the conference adopted the theme “Sustainable Energy for ASEAN’s Prosperity: Innovation, Inclusivity, and Regional Cooperation.”

Following the endorsement of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026–2030 during the 43 ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) under Malaysia’s Chairship 2025, the 5 AICEE findings could serve as references to provide inputs and recommendations to regional energy policymakers in supporting a more inclusive, adaptive, and
evidence-based implementation of APAEC.

The Kamus Kosakata Transisi Energi (Energy Transition Terminology) is a specialized guidebook developed by the Project Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy (CASE) for Southeast Asia to support journalists, media professionals, and beginners in navigating the complexities of climate change and energy transformation. This resource provides clear definitions and illustrations for critical terminology—ranging from Adaptation and Resilience to technical concepts like AMDAL (Environmental Impact Assessment) and Biofuels—to ensure accurate and informative reporting. By bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public discourse, the glossary aims to shift the narrative in Southeast Asia toward evidence-based energy transitions and higher climate ambitions in alignment with the Paris Agreement

This infographic, "Our Elec-tree-city," illustrates how Indonesia's current reliance on fossil fuels—accounting for 87% of its electricity—directly impacts national development and drives climate change. To address these challenges, the CASE project outlines five strategic pillars for reform: providing long-term investment certainty for renewables, enhancing system flexibility, safeguarding system adequacy, managing the retirement of carbon-intensive assets, and ensuring affordable electricity for all consumers. 

This policy paper provides a comprehensive overview of no-regret uses of hydrogen in Thailand’s energy transition. It outlines global trends in hydrogen development, examines the role of climate-neutral hydrogen in achieving a net-zero future in Thailand, and identifies priority applications for the energy sector where hydrogen can deliver clear and strategic value. The paper also presents policy recommendations to guide Thailand’s hydrogen deployment in the energy sector (power generation, industrial, and transport) in a cost-effective, secure and competitive manner.
