Energy Matters
The global energy landscape is one that is changing rapidly. The threat of a worldwide depletion of fossil fuels, the impact of climate change, and the growing importance of geopolitics on energy supplies have led to an urgent call for new energy policies and interventions. Against this backdrop, the Energy Studies Institute (ESI) seeks to advance the understanding of local, regional and global energy issues through independent research and analyses aimed at addressing, informing and influencing public opinion and policies. ESI is a multi-disciplinary, autonomous research institute established within the National University of Singapore in November 2007. Our research and analyses are focused on three key areas: Energy Economics, Energy Security, and Energy and the Environment. Energy Economics
- Economics of oil, gas, coal and renewable energy
- Energy statistics in ASEAN
- Electricity and gas market governance, development and liberalisation in ASEAN
- Economic impact of fuel taxation and subsidies
- The economic impact of the post-2012 regime for Asia
- Development of energy markets within and beyond Asia
- Lifecycle cost analysis of various energy technologies and their impact on the environment
Energy Security
- Geopolitical developments that impact on energy
- Relations between energy producing and energy consuming nations in Asia
- Long-term energy needs in Southeast Asia, including prospects for biofuels and nuclear energy
- Regional energy security and diversification policies, including regional initiatives through groupings such as ASEAN, APEC, EAS
- Role of international and regional state-owned energy companies, etc.
Energy & The Environment
- Environment impact of climate change on Asia
- Assessment of policy options to improve energy efficiency
- Performance indicators and benchmarks for sectoral energy efficiency
- Economy-wide energy efficiency performance monitoring
- Prospects of renewable energy and clean technology in Asian economies
- Energy R&D strategies and policies
- Valuation of environmental externalities and their implications on public policies, etc.
