Can Brunei transition to green energy?

Brunei’s transition towards green energy requires not only a whole-of-nation approach, but also regional collaboration as the country aims to advance its national solar energy target to 200 megawatts by 2025, with solar power making up at least 30 per cent of the overall power generation mix by 2035.

Does Brunei have a sustainable future?

Brunei is targeting 30% renewable energy in total power generation mix by 2035, with 200 MWp of solar energy by 2025. The launch event also saw the release of Hengyi’s 2023 ESG Report, which highlights their progress in environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance.

Does Brunei have a solar city?

Brunei also intended to build the Temburong Smart City, which would mostly rely on solar energy and be dubbed the "Green Jewel of Brunei." However, Brunei has only put in 1.2 MW of solar as of now as a demonstration project. It's reasonable to assume that the implementation of renewable energy is still in its infancy.

How much does green hydrogen cost in Brunei?

The estimated production cost of green hydrogen in Brunei ranges from USD3.5 to USD5.2 per kg-H2, slightly higher than the global target of USD1 to USD2 per kg-H2. Production costs can be reduced by adopting lower-priced solar PV systems and enhancing electrolysis technology efficiency.

Is Brunei dependent on fossil fuels?

Brunei is dependent on fossil fuels. This has consequences. Brunei’s energy sector is currently Southeast Asia’s largest per capita emitter of CO 2: The country meets nearly 99 percent of its need for electricity with natural gas, and the rest with oil. The green energy from its single solar power plant meets 0.05 percent of its supply.

Could Brunei be the future of natural gas?

Brunei is currently the largest per capita emitter in the region. But its wealth of natural gas represents a path to the future: hydrogen. It is already being exported to Japan. What else could be possible? Brunei’s energy footprint is not exactly stellar. It is a small country on the island of Borneo with just 400,000 inhabitants.
