Advancing Emerging Energy Technologies for Asia's Low-Carbon Future

Low-carbon technologies are increasingly part of the broader energy transition, alongside renewable energy deployment and system-level decarbonisation efforts. As these technologies mature, attention is shifting from early-stage development toward deployment, scalability, and integration into energy systems.

Technologies such as geothermal energy and biomethane are gaining attention as potential sources of reliable low-carbon power in suitable contexts. At the same time, advances in applied research and innovation are helping to bridge the gap between concept development and real-world deployment, enabling new solutions to move closer to commercial readiness.

This roundtable will explore how emerging low-carbon energy technologies can be scaled and integrated more effectively. It will also examine what is required to move from innovation to deployment, and how these technologies can contribute to a more resilient and flexible energy system.

Key Discussions:

• The role of emerging energy technologies in supporting Asia's decarbonisation and energy security objectives
• What role emerging low-carbon technologies can realistically play in future energy systems
• How innovation can be translated into commercially viable and scalable solutions
• Geothermal energy opportunities, innovations, and deployment challenges in Asia.
• Biomethane opportunities and deployment challenges in Asia, including its role in gas networks, industry, transport, and bio-LNG for regional trade
• What financing and investment conditions are needed to support early-stage and scaling technologies
• What barriers are limiting deployment and how they can be addressed across markets
