While there is potential for clean energy to one day power Asia Pacific, high costs and the intermittent nature of renewables stand as barriers in the way. Businesses, especially in the tech sector, must channel efforts towards solutions that provide round-the-clock clean energy.
The potential to tap clean energy every hour of the day could enable Asia Pacific (APAC) countries to achieve their Net Zero carbon ambitions.
While renewable energy solutions have been increasing across the region, resources have mainly gone towards wind and solar energy, which rely on ideal weather conditions. Solutions that can provide clean energy around the clock or balance out fluctuations, known as “firming” technologies, have yet to be fully harnessed.
