This presentation gives an overview of the growth and challenges of renewable energy projects in the Maldives.

This presentation gives an overview of the performance and challenges of ADB's WARPS tool for waste management system.

Setting up circular economies for renewable energy equipment, as a crucial part of the just energy transition, can boost economies by creating jobs and increasing productivity. USAID’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy (SURE) program is working to support a transition from a linear economy for renewable energy equipment to a circular economy.

This presentation will make the case for a circular economy and explore how a circular economy is creating sustainable businesses and local jobs as well as cultivating economic opportunities throughout Asia.

Industry represents ~40% of global energy consumption and achieving deep decarbonisation of heavy industries, such as iron and steel, cement and chemicals, requires a range of innovative technological solutions from circular economy approaches to fuel-switching to CCUS. Accelerating the commercialisation of such solutions is both a challenge and an opportunity, and the presentation will cover examples of what the UK is doing both domestically and internationally (through international climate finance) to support countries in Asia-Pacific to decarbonise industry.

This presentation gives an overview of the Rural Electrification Projects in the Philippines.

Introducing enhancements in the treatment in the energy market of battery and other energy storage systems (ESS) is geared towards maintaining the benefits of integrating renewable energy resources in the spot market, which include reduced market prices and an ample level of energy supply.

The policy recommendations include protocols for ESS to contribute in ensuring the grid’s security and addressing the intermittency of variable renewable energy resources, and mechanisms that facilitate the effective monitoring of ESS compliance to the market rules.
