Summary

While coal is being phased out in Europe and America, it is still the dominant source of energy in Asia. Why is that? And how will the situation evolve? Is there any teeth behind the net zero pledges for the second part of the century? In other words, is coal here to stay in Asia or has the tide started to turn?There is no better expert on the subject that Tim Buckley, Director of Energy Finance Studies at IEEFA (The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis), a thinktank examining issues related to energy markets, trends, and policies.With Tim, we discover that the debate is much more than about pure climate change: it is about growth, jobs, energy security and technology. We end up with a positive message: it is really the beginning of the end for coal in Asia.Thank you to Aquila Capital for supporting the showhttps://www.aquila-capital.de/en/Links to IEEFATim Buckley https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-buckley-0a654313/IEEFA https://ieefa.org/Ember Climatehttps://ember-climate.org/And finally, our hero from down underPablo Brait https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablo-brait-37a716117/
