Climate and Energy Sustainability

Recent research suggests that a swift transition to electric vehicles will reduce emissions, but also drive up the demand for critical battery metals such as lithium and nickel.

Experts have criticized plans by Indonesia’s financial regulator to encourage investments in coal plants powering the metal-processing industry, acting contrary to scientific evidence.

By using blockchain technology to transfer accurate battery data to downstream recycling companies, AntChain can cut recycling costs while facilitating cascade utilization.

Indonesia’s captive coal plants have become a stumbling block to its energy transition, complicating the achievement of its target emission baseline for 2030.

Electrification of Bangladesh’s transportation sector will help lower its greenhouse gas emissions, but there are teething issues amidst this transition.

Carbon emission reporting could soon be universally mandatory, prompting companies to identify effective carbon accounting methods.

Indonesia’s production of EV batteries as a step toward sustainability is shadowed by the fact that their manufacturing in coal-powered industrial estates contributes to pollution.

Electric vehicles can cut direct emissions, but they have a long road to traverse before becoming truly sustainable, say experts.
