In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?”, Daubach (2019) highlighted a highly potential clean energy called nuclear fusion. According to Daubach, Moniz who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures Initiative and Nuclear Threat Initiative, suggests that Singapore, due to its limitation in space, can implement nuclear fusion. However, it is costly to adopt this energy by 2050 given that the Paris Agreement goal is to be achieved. Daubach also mentions that Chapman, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, states that nuclear fusion does not produce harmful gases, has lesser decay time of nuclear waste compared to nuclear fission and only needs a small amount of land. The drawback is that massive quantities of heat and pressure are needed. Chapman comments that the present facilities available are incapable of creating electricity on a large scale. The first nuclear fusion facility is expected to begin operation in 2025 a...

According to Daubach, Moniz who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures Initiative and Nuclear Threat Initiative, states that Singapore, due to its limitation in space, can implement nuclear fusion. However, it is costly to adopt this energy by 2050 given that the Paris Agreement goal is met.

The drawback is that a massive amount of heat and pressure is needed. In addition, the current facilities available are not capable of creating electricity on a large scale.

In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?”, Daubach (2019) highlighted the importance of “green energy production” in Southeast Asia (SEA) and the difficulties that will arise with the change. According to Daubach, Moniz who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures Initiative and Nuclear Threat Initiative states that each region in SEA must utilize different “low-carbon technologies and solutions” to reduce emissions. Moniz also mentioned that for SEA to achieve this, each country must think about its distinct difficulties and chances to improve. Singapore due to limitation in space is not able to adopt major wind and solar power generation but can adopt nuclear fusion. However, it is very costly. SEA needs to think about how it creates, keeps and uses the energy more effectively.  It is vital that SEA reduces its dependence on coal for energy as continuous use will cause life-threatening occurrences to happen. Daubach suggests nuclear fusion...

In the article, “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?”, Daubach (2019) writes expert opinions on the methods that will encourage “green energy production” in Southeast Asia (SEA) and the difficulties that will arise with the change. Experts state that each region in SEA must utilize different “low-carbon technologies and solutions” to reduce emissions. For SEA to achieve this, each country must think about its distinct difficulties and chances to improve. Singapore due to limitation in space is not able to adopt major wind and solar power generation but can adopt nuclear fusion which has no discharge and shorter duration of decay of atomic waste. However, it is very costly. SEA needs to think about how it creates, keeps and uses the energy more effectively.  It is vital that SEA reduces its dependence on coal for energy as continuous use will cause life-threatening occurrences to happen.
