Our research supports decision-makers in business, finance, and policy to understand and navigate major transitions that affect whole industries. We focus on industry transitions that will award transition leaders with incumbents risking significant losses.
1. Energy Transition and Climate
Energy and Climate Change
We support decision-makers in Asia-Pacific economies to accelerate the region’s energy transition and climate change:
- Green and sustainable finance standards and mobilization
- Transition of state-owned power companies (SPCs)
- Energy market design including emission trading systems (ETS)
- Advancing grid and energy storage investments
- Optimizing green energy trade and local cleantech manufacturing
- Energy system decarbonization through coal-to-green transition
- Convening and capacity building, e.g., through Green Energy Network Asia (GEN-A)
2. China and Global Value Chains
China and Global Value Chains
The role of China as a supplier of finance, technology and trade opportunities in Asia-Pacific is of great significance for global value chains. Our research addresses
- China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its role in regional development
- China-Australia iron and steel decarbonization partnerships
- Cleantech trade and investment tracker
3. Heavy Industry Transition
Heavy Industry Transition
Hard-to-abate sectors such as iron, steel, cement require pathways for managed transition. We support decision-makers in
- iron and steel decarbonization (e.g., Australia-China iron and steel decarbonization dialogues)
- green hydrogen for industrial applications
