SE Asia’s Gas Expansion Threatens Green Energy Transition 

Southeast Asia plans to expand its gas-fired power plant and liquid natural gas import capacity. Global Energy Monitor’s report says this move could lock the region into an “economically volatile and insecure fuel” and divert investment away from energy transition. 

In-development gas power capacity alone would require over $180 billion in capital investment, and in-development LNG import and export infrastructure would demand another $40 billion of capital.
