Advancing Energy Storage Technologies and Governance in the Asia
Innovation Outlook: Thermal Energy Storage: This publication explores the potential of thermal energy storage (TES) technologies to support the integration of renewable energy in power
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) The ASEAN has been actively promoting energy storage technologies through various policies and initiatives aimed at enhancing energy security, integrating renewable energy sources, and supporting sustainable development across the region. We review some key efforts as follows: 1.
Introduction The Asia-Pacific region, which is home to over 60% of the world's population, is experiencing rapid economic growth and urbanisation. This growth has led to an increasing demand for energy, which, in turn, has highlighted the critical need for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions.
As countries in the Asia-Pacific region strive to meet their energy needs while committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the advancement of energy storage technologies has become a key focus area . Energy storage systems (ESS) play a crucial role in the transition to a low-carbon energy future.
The government's support has catalysed pilot projects, such as the installation of large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in regions with high renewable energy generation, particularly Hokkaido and Kyushu . Moreover, Japan has implemented regulatory reforms to incentivise the adoption of energy storage systems.
