Jakarta, 13 April 2021: The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) hosted a press conference on the key role that hydrogen will play in realising ASEAN and East Asia s goal of carbon neutrality. The event was opened by Mr Koji Hachiyama, the COO of ERIA, who introduced the context for the use of hydrogen in the region. In line with the 7th Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations, ASEAN and East Asian Summit countries need to seriously promote the use of renewable sources, energy efficiency and energy transition measures to cleaner fuels. The use of new energy technologies such as carbon capture usage and storage or carbon recycling and hydrogen should also be incorporated along with the adoption of clean technologies. Hydrogen technology, in particular, should play a key role as an alternative to fossil fuels and can be applied across sectors not only in industry but also in power generation and transportation, said Mr Hachiyama.
