Summary
- Southeast Asia is expanding its gas-fired power plant and LNG import capacity, jeopardizing its green energy transition.
- The region plans to double gas-fired power capacity and increase LNG import capacity by 80%.
- While gas emits less CO2, methane leaks from the industry contribute to climate change.
- The area has enough solar and wind capacity to cover two-thirds of the projected increase in energy demand by 2030, but uneven distribution and grid infrastructure pose challenges.
