In recent years, Vietnam has embraced renewal energy sources, particularly solar, and now its important tourism sector looks set to do the same to reduce carbon emissions and attract guests looking for more sustainable travel options. Vietnam is the leading country in Southeast Asia in terms of installed solar capacity according to a World Bank Report. […]

Nowhere in the world is as critical for the clean energy transition as Asia, which accounts for almost half of global energy demand and is today the world’s highest emitting region, overtaking historical heavy emitters in North America and Europe. Despite economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries in the Asia-Pacific region continued to witness record-breaking growth

We expect Asia to be a strong performer in hydropower and non-hydro power renewables, with robust capacity growth in the coming decade, increasing the supply of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in the region. At the global climate conference, COP26 in November, various Asian markets declared their commitment to achieving net-zero emissions within this century. This included

The much-awaited United Nations Cli­mate Change Conference COP26 was held at Glasgow in November 2021. Around 120 leaders from co­untries around the globe deliberated on ad­dressing the urgent climate-related ris­ks and agreed that countries must do mu­ch more to combat this global challenge. Many nations announced their commitme­nts towards accelerating their energy transition agendas and

The 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) took place with strong commitments to fight against climate change. There were optimistic voices from the conference about getting closer to the ambitious goal of curbing temperature rise. One of the important announcements at COP 26 was the commitment

Renewables bucked the trend in 2020 Renewable energy use increased 3% in 2020 as demand for all other fuels declined. The primary driver was an almost 7% growth in electricity generation from renewable sources. Long-term contracts, priority access to the grid, and continuous installation of new plants underpinned renewables growth despite lower electricity demand, supply

Vietnam majorly relies on electricity generation from coal-fired power plants to meet the country’s rapidly increasing electricity demand; during 2020, coal accounted for more than half of Vietnam’s total electricity generation. Hydropower also plays a key role in the country’s electricity generation due to the availability of a number of natural resources and large rivers,

Solar is one of the renewable energy strategies that can earn you LEED certification. Among the various LEED system rating categories, solar falls under the “Energy & Atmosphere” category. By implementing solar power system strategies in your home or business, you stand to gain up to 8 LEED points under the “On-Site Renewable Energy” (EA

The year ahead promises new growth paths for the renewable energy industry, potentially aided by supportive policies from an administration focused on combatting climate change. Yet, some challenges still linger. Explore how new technologies, business models, policies, and investments could help address these challenges and accelerate growth in our 2022 renewable energy industry outlook. In

Solar projects can provide a major contribution toward LEED certification. The primary LEED category pertaining to solar is the “Energy & Atmosphere” category, specifically EA Credit 2, the “On-Site Renewable Energy” credit. This credit can provide up to 7 possible LEED points. This could represent over 17% of the points required for certification, depending on
