In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?” (Daubach, 2019). He states that a standardized method is not sufficient to hasten the approach towards a clean energy future. He mentions that experts from various companies states that to lower emissions, Southeast Asia (SEA) must establish "low-carbon technologies" without compromising the country’s capabilities. He notes that nuclear fusion is a method to consider as it does not release emissions and takes up less land. However, it requires a huge amount of energy and is costly. He mentions that apart from looking into new energy sources, reducing energy usage while maintaining the same lifestyle is also essential. One method is to transport chilled water within buildings using less energy than conventional air-conditioning systems. It is crucial that SEA implements various solutions to advance into clean energy.
