Achieving net-zero amid challenges

GE Gas Power’s vice-president for global sourcing and logistics, Raj Thakkar, said solutions structured around the trilemma – finding a balance between affordability, reliability and sustainability in energy – was key to addressing the region’s, including Malaysia’s, energy transition and diversifying its energy mix.

PETALING JAYA: The combined deployment of renewable energy (RE) and gas power is needed to achieve net-zero emissions amid challenges facing the local energy market, according to GE Gas Power.

Asia’s escalating energy demand, which accounts for half of the global demand, is still much reliant on coal and could pose a challenge for the region to transition to net-zero emissions, the company said.
