    Fueling the Empire: The Real Cost of Australia’s Gas Strategy

    In this episode of Energy Insights, we speak with Mia Watanabe, Climate Campaigner at Oil Change International, about the real costs of Australia’s gas strategy and its wider implications for Southeast Asia’s energy future. Australia has become one of the world’s largest LNG exporters, but this dependence on fossil fuels raises serious concerns over environmental, social, and economic impacts. Mia explains how the continued push for LNG undermines climate goals across Asia, with public finance and corporate interests locking countries into long-term fossil fuel dependency. The discussion also explores the urgent need for policy reform, the accelerating potential of renewables, and the opportunities for Southeast Asia to build a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. Tune in for expert insights into the role of LNG, the energy transition, and how Australia’s gas strategy is shaping the region’s climate pathway. LinkedIn: Mia Watanabe

    Japan's Record LNG Deal with the US and Its Global Impact

    Japan has secured a historic LNG deal with the United States, a move positioned as a step towards greater energy security. However, this decision raises pressing questions about its alignment with climate commitments and its broader influence on regional energy policies. As the world accelerates towards decarbonisation, is this agreement a necessary short-term measure or a prolonged dependence on fossil fuels? Read the article here: https://energytracker.asia/japan-to-buy-record-amounts-of-lng-from-us-after-trump-and-ishiba-meet/ In this episode of Energy Insights, we explore the complexities behind Japan’s LNG expansion, examining the strategic motivations driving this shift, the geopolitical and economic implications, and its potential impact on Southeast Asia’s energy transition. While LNG is often presented as a cleaner alternative to coal, its long-term role remains controversial. The environmental consequences, financial risks, and infrastructure commitments tied to LNG could influence Japan’s ability to meet its decarbonisation targets and shift focus away from renewables. This deal is about more than just energy; it reflects Japan’s approach to economic security, international diplomacy, and sustainable development. As LNG infrastructure expands, the key question remains: does this strengthen Japan’s position in a volatile energy landscape, or does it lock the region into extended fossil fuel reliance at a time when the world is pivoting towards clean energy?

    Captive Coal – Indonesia’s Biggest Energy Challenge

    In this episode of Energy Insights, we explore the critical issue of captive coal power in Indonesia, a significant obstacle to the country’s 2040 coal phase-out target. Captive coal plants, which operate off-grid to supply energy to industries like nickel production, are expanding rapidly, locking industries into long-term fossil fuel dependency. This episode examines the environmental and public health impacts of this trend, highlighting projections of increased air pollution and premature deaths if reliance on captive coal continues unchecked. The discussion also addresses the economic risks of fossil fuel dependency, including stranded assets and reduced global competitiveness in a world moving toward renewable energy. Indonesia’s immense renewable energy potential, particularly in solar, wind, and geothermal power, offers a clear path forward. The conversation explores how policy reforms, technological innovation, and international collaboration can accelerate the transition to cleaner energy systems, aligning Indonesia’s energy future with global climate goals. Discover how Indonesia can overcome the challenges posed by captive coal, harness its vast renewable resources, and lead Southeast Asia’s energy transition towards a sustainable and equitable future.
