Asia Clean Energy Summit

It’s a wrap at ACES 2024! What a rewarding and fulfilling three days it has been. The aim of ACES is to provide a common platform for regional thought leaders in both the public and private sector to collaborate on critical issues and opportunities in harnessing clean energy for the future and this year is no different. This year’s ACES was particularly special as we launched our inaugural Asia Carbon Summit with the theme of Greener Footprints, Cleaner Planet. Asia Carbon Summit is aimed at unravelling the complexities inherent in the carbon markets, fostering the development of tradable carbon reductions and removals and leveraging carbon credits as a tool for sustainable development. Over the past three days, we have engaged in panel discussions and listened to distinguished keynote speakers engage in important dialogues, witnessed businesses showcases, hosted an investor pitching event, hosted site visits to Pulau Ubin and Jurong Island, and got to engage with industry professionals from all over the world. We got to delve deep and get real on conversations surrounding but not limited to Solar and Storage, Green Hydrogen, Energy Efficiency, Energy Sustainability and many more. We would like to thank all our speakers, panellists, sponsors, delegates, vendors and visitors and everyone who has helped make this year’s edition a success and for your continued support. We look forward to meeting you next year at ACES 2025! Here are some of our favourite ACES 2024 moments. #ACES2024 #AsiaCarbonSummit #EnergyTransition #EnergySustainability

As part of Day Three of ACES 2024’s Long Duration Energy Storage track, Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS) is proud to partner with VFlowTech in organising a unique and engaging opportunity for ACES' participants with a site visit to Pulau Ubin to explore the 1MWh Flow Battery System. This visit showcases VFlowTech’s energy storage facility and more specifically, their Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries in action. Participants were treated to a firsthand look at the technologies shaping the future of energy in the region. #SEAS #ACES2024 #Energy #Sustainability

It’s Day 3 of ACES 2024 and the launch of the inaugural Asia Carbon Summit! The Asia Carbon Summit kicked off with an opening address by Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, Ministry of Transport, who shared three key ingredients needed to engender a successful energy transition and to enable carbon markets to take off. “Infrastructure, Innovation and International Cooperation…undertaking these efforts is not a matter of ‘I’s’, but ‘We’”. Dr Amy Khor urged for the inspiration of the Asia Carbon Summit’s theme of Greener Footprints, Cleaner Planet and for all to contribute to a cleaner planet for future generations to come.  Edwin Khew, Chairman of SEAS also encouraged all to be bold in thinking and collaborative in approach, as the journey of decarbonisation’s future is a shared one and will require the combined efforts of the industry. We are looking forward to the discussions today! #ACES2024 #AsiaCarbonSummit #EnergyTransition #Decarbonisation #Sustainability

As part of Day 2 ACES, we hosted an exciting investor pitching event. Organised by SEAS' Sustainable Energy Start-up Network (SESUN), Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) and EcoLabs Centre of Innovation for Energy, 10 start-ups, hoping to drive the future of sustainability energy, took the stage at the i-Pitch Awards. Each had just 5 minutes to showcase their innovative ideas, followed by a dynamic Q&A. Huge congratulations to the start-ups who claimed the following awards:  “Best Disruptive Start-up" awarded to Altent Renewables   “Best Innovative Start-Up" awarded to SgNaPlus   “Best Scalable Start-Up" awarded to ezBike #innovation #ACES #SIEW #sustainability
