This report by Ember examines the energy transitions of Viet Nam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which together drive nearly 60% of ASEAN's power demand and emissions. While these nations remain heavily reliant on coal, they are pivoting toward clean energy through ambitious national targets, market reforms, and increasing foreign investment, particularly in solar and wind power.

In the first half of 2025, China, India, the EU, and the US accounted for 63% of global electricity demand and 64% of power sector CO2 emissions. While China and India saw declines in fossil fuel generation and emissions due to clean energy growth outpacing demand, the US and EU experienced increases in emissions, driven by demand growth in the US and declines in wind and hydro output in the EU.
