Using a comprehensive and unique set of energy and sectoral activity data, this study applies the energy intensity concept and index decomposition analysis technique to study the role of energy efficiency in reducing Singapore’s energy consumption from 2005 to 2018.

This article summarises the results of an empirical investigation on the potential for economic growth, renewable energy use, technical advancement, and forest cover in Indonesia to reduce CO2 emissions using DOLS approach to analyze the time series data covering 1990-2020.

This study used media reporting from 1971 to 2020 to combine sentiment analysis, dynamic topic mining, and statistical analysis to quantitatively examine the dynamics and drivers of attitudes towards Lancang Mekong hydropower development.

The paper investigates how trade openness and green bond issuance influence renewable energy consumption in Southeast Asia, revealing that green bonds effectively promote renewable energy deployment and increased trade openness drives consumption by facilitating technology transfer and interactions with sustainability leaders, proposing policy recommendations like standardizing green bonds, fostering green scientific networks, and promoting digital green initiatives.

This study aims to create the first spatial model of its kind in Southeast Asia to develop multi-renewable energy from solar, wind, and hydropower, with a new priority model integrating area suitability analysis and potential energy estimation, informing policies and strategies for transitioning to renewable energy in the region.

The current study has great theoretical significance, but has several limitations, which it is hoped can be removed in future studies. Firstly, the study examines only the benefits of the sharing economy,REB, RTB and RSB to attain SDGs. The most important factors, environmental concerns, are ignored. Future researchers must explore the removal of environmental concerns through the sharing economy and its role in attaining SDGs.

The study evaluates the effect of governance variables and economic growth on ASEAN energy transition, from 2000 to 2020, using FMOLS, DOLS, FE-OLS, and MMQR regression. It finds that economic growth promotes energy transition. Hence, as these ASEAN countries grow economically, the use of renewable resources increases more rapidly than non-renewable energy sources.

Indonesia aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 by transitioning to renewables, electrification, energy efficiency improvements, and Carbon Capture and Storage, despite a projected 375% increase in final energy consumption by 2060 from 2018 levels.

This study emphasizes the need for ASEAN countries to decarbonize their power sector, suggesting a mix of strategies including switching from coal to gas, implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS) in fossil fuel plants, and further utilizing renewable sources like hydropower, biomass, solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, and geothermal, while addressing sustainability and technological challenges to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
