Penguncian Gas di Asia

The report identifies a massive planned expansion of gas infrastructure in Asia, including 320 GW of power plants and 452 mtpa of LNG import capacity, valued at 379 billion USD. It argues these investments risk becoming stranded assets as renewable energy costs plummet and climate targets necessitate a rapid decline in fossil fuel use. The document highlights that the projected emissions from this infrastructure could consume 25% of the remaining global carbon budget for 1.5°C. It further criticizes the continued role of public financial institutions in funding these projects, suggesting a shift toward clean energy portfolios as a more secure and sustainable alternative.

• Asia is planning a massive expansion of gas infrastructure valued at 379 billion USD, comprising 189 billion USD for gas-fired power plants, 54 billion USD for pipelines, and 136 billion USD for LNG terminals.
• The proposed 320 GW of new gas-fired power plants in Asia would nearly double the region's gas power capacity and increase global gas power capacity by 20%, a scale equivalent to the entire gas fleet in Europe and Russia.
• Asia's planned LNG import capacity expansion of 452 mtpa represents 70% of the global capacity under development and is sufficient to absorb the entire global LNG trade as of 2020.
• The full operation of planned LNG terminals and pipelines in Asia could release 117 Gt CO2-eq over their lifetime, which is approximately one-quarter of the global carbon budget required to maintain a 50% chance of limiting warming to 1.5°C.
• Gas infrastructure investments face high financial risk of becoming stranded assets due to the rapid decline in renewable energy costs—over 90% since 2009—and the volatility of global LNG prices.
• Public financial institutions continue to support gas expansion in Asia; between 2014 and 2018, 22.4 billion USD in public funding was provided for Asian gas projects, led by the Export-Import Bank of China, JBIC, and the Asian Development Bank.
