Book South East Asia Gas Study

Download or read book South East Asia Gas Study written by and published by . This book was released on with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to existing gas producing countries, there are several emerging countries in Southeast Asia that are promoting gas production and use. Since rising energy needs will increase Asia’s dependency on imported oil, the further development of gas resources will play an increasingly important role in improving energy security and in providing environmental protection for the region. This study, a follow-up to the IEA’s Asia Gas Study (1996), describes the current situation, uncertainties and future challenges in the gas sectors of the Philippines, Vietnam and Myanmar. Over the next ten years, the role of natural gas will expand steadily in these countries. The development of gas sectors could also encourage the construction of a gas pipeline network in Southeast Asia.

Book The Geopolitics of Energy in South Asia

Download or read book The Geopolitics of Energy in South Asia written by Marie Lall and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2009 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy security has become a central concern for all the countries in the Asian region and the search for sufficient sources of energy to fuel economic growth has drastically influenced relations among the South Asian countries as well as their respective relations with their neighbours China, Myanmar, Iran, and Afghanistan. The recent nuclear deal between India and the US is also indicative of how energy and power politics are linked and how these new inter-linkages underlie relations between states. This book aims to give a South Asian perspective on the geopolitics of energy, with a central focus on India. The chapters address how India's global and regional foreign policy making has changed in light of India's search for energy and how this is affecting the relationship on a global level between India and the US, as well as on a regional level between India and the other Asian countries. The book also offers views from Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as how this shifting reality is affecting relations between India and Southeast Asia.

Book Southeast Asia and the Economics of Global Climate Stabilization

Download or read book Southeast Asia and the Economics of Global Climate Stabilization written by David A. Raitzer and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a global concern of special relevance to Southeast Asia, a region that is both vulnerable to the effects of climate change and a rapidly increasing emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs). This study focuses on five countries of Southeast Asia that collectively account for 90% of regional GHG emissions in recent years---Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It applies two global dynamic economy–energy–environment models under an array of scenarios that reflect potential regimes for regulating global GHG emissions through 2050. The modeling identifies the potential economic costs of climate inaction for the region, how the countries can most efficiently achieve GHG emission mitigation, and the consequences of mitigation, both in terms of benefits and costs. Drawing on the modeling results, the study analyzes climate-related policies and identifies how further action can be taken to ensure low-carbon growth.

Book Gateway Cities in Global Production Networks

Download or read book Gateway Cities in Global Production Networks written by Moritz Breul and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of gateway cities in contemporary circuits of global production. Apart from facilitating the interlinking of economic activities in the surrounding regions with the global economy, gateway cities have enormous implications for how certain regions participate in the global economy. Based on a case study of the oil and gas industry in Southeast Asia the book maps gateway cities, explores why these cities have come to occupy a gateway role, and evaluates their implications for regional economic development. To this aim, the book links components from research on the World City Network with Global Production Network research and demonstrates how this intersection creates synergies for studying the role of cities in economic globalization. The main audiences that this book appeals to are researchers and students interested in debates on regional development and the role of cities in the global economy. The book is also attractive to scholars interested in the organization of extractive industries.

Book Managing Regional Energy Vulnerabilities in East Asia

Download or read book Managing Regional Energy Vulnerabilities in East Asia written by Daojiong Zha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines East Asia’s inter-state collaborative energy projects to address energy vulnerability. It focuses on projects that have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing vulnerabilities faced by the ten states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China, Japan, and South Korea in Northeast Asia. Including case studies on uncertainties in external sources of oil and gas supply, maritime piracy, continuation of energy poverty, and geographical barriers to cross-border electricity interconnection, expert contributors highlight how collaborative energy projects have been more successful than the traditional state rivalry in energy-related issues. The book develops the framework of energy vulnerability, avoiding usual securitization approaches, instead examining non-traditional security conceptualizations in studying energy policies to examine how issue-specific cooperation efforts between states arise and develop. Using East Asia as a starting point, contributors introduce a framework that advances the study of international energy cooperation. Managing Regional Energy Vulnerabilities in East Asia will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian studies, sociology, development studies, and international political economy particularly the political economy of East Asia, energy and development studies, regional and global governance of energy and the environmental economics.

Book The Economics of Climate Change in Southeast Asia

Download or read book The Economics of Climate Change in Southeast Asia written by Asian Development Bank and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a review of the economics of climate change in the Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It confirms that the region is highly vulnerable to climate change and demonstrates that a wide range of adaptation measures are already being applied. The report also shows that the region has a great potential to contribute to greenhouse gas emission reduction, and that the costs to the region and globally of taking no early action against climate change could be very high. The basic policy message is that efforts must be made to apply all feasible and economically viable adaptation and mitigation measures as key elements of a sustainable development strategy for Southeast Asia. It also argues that the current global economic crisis offers Southeast Asia an opportunity to start a transition towards a climate-resilient and low-carbon economy by introducing green stimulus programs that can simultaneously shore up economies, create jobs, reduce poverty, lower carbon emissions, and prepare for the worst effects of climate change.

Book Natural Gas in Asia

Download or read book Natural Gas in Asia written by Ian Wybrew-Bond and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next two decades will be crucial for Asian gas markets. This period will determine whether natural gas will become an important fuel in the major energy markets of China, India, Japan and Korea, or will remain a "promising" but peripheral energy source Natural Gas in Asia is a new study onthe future of natural gas in the major energy markets of Asia. The future energy needs of China, India and the rest of Asia are considerable. Will gas supplies respond to this expanding demand? Large scale projects will have to be implemented in Russia, the Central Asian Republics and the MiddleEast to bring required supplies to Asian markets in the years to 2020. This book assesses the economic opportunities, political obstacles and other challenges to these projects. In order to succeed, huge pipeline infrastructure will need to be built over long distances to bring gas to these markets,as well as significant numbers of new LNG terminals. There are chapters on the major current and potential gas markets in Asia: China, India, Japan and Korea. As well as chapters on the potential supply of pipeline gas and LNG to Asia from: Russia , Siberia, the Far East the Far East and a number of Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Animportant aspect of the next two decades will be the extent to which the region can develop pipeline gas sources to supplement existing large scale LNG imports.Gas markets will need to be created in countries such as China and India, which are at the early stage of introducing large scale natural gas use in cities. There is a further commercial challenge for these countries in developing gas-fired power generation at a cost which may be greater thangeneration based on domestically produced coal. But considerations of local and global emissions may give extra value to gas fired generation, as has happened elsewhere in the world.
