Review on Greenhouse Gases Emission in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Countries

The Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region is a critical contributor to global development from an environmental perspective. This study has reviewed carbon emissions energy generation, influence factors population, economic growth and renewable energy, emission intensity projection, spatial distribution characteristics, decarbonization strategy. work utilizes comparison methodology between ASEAN countries in future projection electricity conditions 2030 or 2040, as well opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) determined by national policies each government. results show that Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia produce 79.7% region. As developing country, Indonesia largest population gross domestic product (GDP) but highest predicted intensity, 0.97 CO2e/MWh, 2030. Vietnam have about 3.56t-CO2e/cap 0.747t-CO2e/GDP expected increase 1241 MWh/GDP, while Brunei Darussalam high 11.35 MWh/cap. However, capacity solar power plants (more than 11 GW) wind-power (2384 MW) generally increased 2015 2019, indicating positive source (RES) use. strongly estimated GHG aggressively replacing fossil fuels with RESs. Support, via government policies, can reduce cost generation RESs needed enhance installment clean systems. In work, research needs consider intermittent characteristics variable RES system operation.
