COP31's 35x35 target aims to raise electricity's share of final energy to 35% by 2035. ASEAN electricity demand grew 60% in a decade and needs USD 20B+ annually in grid investment to keep pace.
Australia can leverage its vast renewable and fossil fuel resources to form a new energy security alliance, helping fuel-dependent Asia-Pacific nations stabilize their markets amid rising global energy demands and disruptions, an expert says.

Thailand's cement industry spent years achieving 80%+ low-carbon market share, but data centers still don't specify EPDs or carbon limits. Microsoft's Sublime Systems model shows what could change that.
A hyperscale data center uses up to 20,000 tonnes of steel. Meranti Green Steel targets 600–700 kg CO₂/tonne by 2030 vs 2,300 kg for blast furnace steel, but EPD verification remains the key bottleneck.
SBTi's first major revision since 2021 lets companies count low-carbon product purchases toward Scope 3 targets, replaces 2050 pledges with five-year cycles, and tiers carbon credit use.
Textile recycling startup Syre plans to invest $750 million in a fabric recycling facility in Gia Lai Province, central Vietnam, offering clients such as Nike and Target an alternative supply chain solution outside China.

AI GPUs are retired after just 10–18 months as operators chase newer chips. Microsoft's Circular Centers hit 90.9% reuse rate, but Southeast Asia's ITAD infrastructure remains underdeveloped.
Taiwan's anti-greenwashing guideline targets misused terms like "net zero" and undisclosed award criteria. A new circular label, separate from the eco-label, now covers 12 products under the gMIT brand.
The near-term battery recycling opportunity in Thailand isn't retired EVs—it's manufacturing waste. Sun-up Recycling recovers NMP solvents at 99.993% purity from EV factories in the Eastern Economic Corridor.

The compilation of carbon taxes under different schemes enables companies to assess the carbon cost for operations in different countries.
Carbon labels show the carbon emissions generated by companies and products at the stages of raw materials, manufacturing, transport, distribution, usage, and disposal, as a consideration for consumers when making purchases, and to encourage companies to go low-carbon in their product development.
Carbon trading mechanisms are introduced by governments to encourage businesses to reduce their emissions and sell excess credits for revenue, thus achieving carbon neutrality.
Profit/non-profit renewable energy initiatives, such as RE100, aim to stimulate the use of renewable energy by businesses and communities.
Green energy labels are created to ensure a reliable source of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which come in various types depending on regional requirements.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) or Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) is a tracking tool acting as a proof of green power generation and consumption, with each certificate representing 1 MWh of green electricity.
