Summary Draft 2- Clean Energy Transition

-

In the article, “How Can Southeast Asia’s Clean Energy Transition Be Sped Up?” Ha (2019) wrote about energy experts addressing the important issue of clean energy transition in Southeast Asia. He mentioned Moniz, who is the Chief Executive of the Energy Futures and Nuclear Threat Initiative, talking about deploying “low-carbon technologies and solutions” for energy to lower emissions in the ASEAN region. Ha also said that Moniz mentioned nuclear fusion or hydrogen power as a substitute for solar and wind power in Singapore due to its lack of natural resources and land. 

In addition, it is also stated that Wong, Group Chief Executive of utility company Singapore Power, mentioned that Southeast Asia must consider both its consumption and production of energy. They should consider new energy sources and ways to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the same lifestyle to comply with the Paris Agreement. 

Ha stated that ASEAN should consider replacing the use of coal to produce energy as it produces the most greenhouse gases. Ha then mentioned that Moniz proposed to reduce costs in the power, industrial, and transportation sectors to be able to transition towards renewable energy.

In my opinion, Southeast Asia should look for new clean energy sources to meet the Paris Agreement’s goals by 2050.

Dear Professor Brad, I am Yumeme, and I am writing this letter to introduce myself as one of your students in CVE 1281 T5.  I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in civil engineering with business in 2021. My interest in engineering started when I followed my father, who is also a civil engineer, to his office and project sites since young. Hence, I decided to pursue civil engineering, so that I can help my father with his business, such as   assisting  him with the  management of  his upcoming projects. Listening is one of my communication strengths. I would actively listen when my friends are sharing their problems or giving me feedback about my work. For example, when I was doing my Final Year Project (FYP) back in polytechnic, I would listen to my team members when they gave me feedback to improve on my work.  One of my communication weaknesses is that I have stage fright. Thus, I tend to be softer during presentations. Due to this weakn...
