The article by Tim Daubach (2019) “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?” highlights the lack of urgency in Southeast Asia’s development of renewable energy and identifies possible solutions to the constraints faced by the region. According to the article, one major obstacle preventing the widespread implementation of renewable energy is due to the heterogeneous collection of cultures. In order to circumvent this, a calibrated approach to each specific area is recommended. For areas with land constraints, using nuclear fusion to generate electricity has huge upsides as it is free of emissions and requires little space. However, finding alternative sources of renewable energy is not enough if the region does not reduce its energy consumption to reduce the rate of climate change. Furthermore, integrating policymaking with sustainable energy goals can help to provide a platform for the sector to grow and spur economic growth as well. With Southeast Asia being a ...

The article by Tim Daubach (2019) “How can Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition be sped up?” highlights the lack of urgency in Southeast Asia in the shift towards renewable energy and identifies possible solutions to the constraints that is faced by the region. According to the article, a major stumbling block to implement a widespread use of renewable energy is the heterogeneous collection of cultures in the region that means a calibrated approach to each specific area is required. For areas with land constraints, using nuclear fusion to generate electricity has huge upsides as it is free of emissions and requires little space. However, finding alternative sources of renewable energy is not enough if the region itself does not reduce its energy consumption to slow down the effects of climate change. Lastly, Southeast Asia should integrate policymaking and sustainable energy goals, this will help provide a platform for the sector to grow and in turn spur economic growth. Southeast ...

Lastly, Southeast Asia can do more to encourage innovation in the sustainable energy sector which will promote more start-ups in the region and attract investors, which will help boost the economy as well. Southeast Asia is failing to keep up with the world in c...

465 Mandai Road, Singapore Singapore, 729756   16 September 2021                 Fazilah Binte Mohamed Ismail Professor  Singapore Institute of Technology 10 Dover Drive, Singapore 138683   Dear Professor Fazilah   My Goals for Effective Communication   I am Tan Yih Jing, a student from your class SIE2016-T2 for the Effective Communications module. In this letter, I will elaborate on my educational background followed by my reasons for choosing this course and the specific goals for this module.   I studied in Singapore Polytechnic and graduated with a Diploma in Hotel and Leisure Facilities Management. Even though I had no prior engineering background, I chose to pursue my interest in Sustainable Infrastructure as I am concerned over the current climate change that is happening at a rapid pace all over the world. I personally believe that as engineers, we can...
