The key to greener heavy industry
Oped, Published on 30/08/2023
» For decades, solar and wind arrays offered a visible indication that the transition towards a green economy was progressing. But if we are to reduce -- and, eventually, eliminate -- carbon dioxide emissions, we will have to find a "clean" way not only to produce electricity, but also to power hard-to-abate heavy industries, such as steel, cement, and fertiliser production. Solar and wind energy alone cannot do this job, but hydrogen can.

» Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is here, and the effects are all around. Worse, today's extreme weather events are just a preview of the pain that awaits humanity in the coming decades, almost regardless of how fast we manage to decarbonise the economy this year or next.

Net-zero bid hurts Asia's growth?
Oped, Published on 20/07/2023
» Asian countries' ability to thrive in the world economy over the next few decades hinges on their capacity to sustain their competitive advantages through continuous innovation. But to meet their commitments under the 2015 Paris climate agreement, the region's economies must overhaul their production, consumption and resource-allocation strategies, potentially postponing the long-anticipated "Asian century".
