Highlights

To date, much of the installed renewable power generation capacity is concentrated within Europe and other developed nations.
ESI conducted an economic and technical analysis of the feasibility of solar power in the local context. The conclusion?
A current market survey complementing a test-bed initiative is studying consumer perception and attitudes towards EVs.
Improving energy efficiency in the petrochemical industry is one of the key challenges of SIngapore's energy security.
The Singapore government has announced the implementation of the Energy Conservation Act, which will introduce minimum energy management standards for large industrial energy users from 2013.
A key challenge for ASEAN nations in mitigating climate change lies in the question - can economic growth and sustainable development be achieved in tandem?
Buildings present a unique opportunity to mitigate climate change and also enhance sustainable development.
"Energy security" is a term that has long bedeviled energy policy debates among politicians, businessmen and academics. What steps should countries take to minimise vulnerabilities to energy supply disruptions?
Greater energy efficiency has been recognised as the most important weapon in the struggle to secure energy sources and battle climate change, but the debate over its potential still rages on.
The latest special report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), titled "Are We Entering a Golden Age of Gas?", comes just as climate talks resumed in Bonn on 6 June in preparation for COP 17 in Durban.

In conventional reservoirs, gas is trapped in sands and carbonates under high pressure with interconnected pore spaces that allow gas to flow to the wellbore. In contrast, unconventional reservoirs generally have very low permeability and do not naturally facilitate
