Focusing on the future of fuels, particularly in Southeast Asia, Ashish Puri and Suneel Kaul from Bergen Engines India highlighted technological advancements, market trends, and the regulatory landscape shaping the hydrogen economy. The industry leaders spoke with EPR at the Enlit Asia Expo in Kuala Lumpur.
Future of sustainable fuels
The industrialists focused on the future of sustainable fuels. Suneel Kaul emphasised the urgency of the energy transition happening worldwide. "We are showcasing future technology that will operate on fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and HVO oil," he explained. He revealed plans for launching an engine capable of burning 100 percent hydrogen by the end of the year, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions. The potential for ammonia as a marine fuel was also discussed, although its current applications are primarily landbased.

BALANCING GROWTH, SECURITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE
We will have to continue using a mix of coal and other fossil fuels alongside renewable/ green energy; there is no shortcut to this.
DEMAND LIFTING RE
The Indian solar sector is gearing up for expansion, with projections indicating a manufacturing capacity surge to over 100 gigawatts within the next six months.
Bioenergy and its potential to reduce carbon emissions
Bioenergy is a renewable energy source derived from organic materials biomass), including plants, agricultural residues, forestry by-products, and organic waste. It can be converted into energy through combustion, gasification, anaerobic digestion, and fermentation, serving multiple purposes such as heating, electricity generation, and transportation fuels. As the world seeks to transition from fossil fuels, bioenergy offers a consistent, sustainable energy source that complements intermittent renewables like solar and wind.
Managing energy transition risks
Energy transition is a strategic shift to low-carbon or renewable sources to address climate change and ensure long-term energy security, but it is also fraught with multiple challenges. The authors believe that using an Enterprise Risk Management ERM) framework can help develop comprehensive Strategies to address such challenges.
Technological innovations addressing renewable energy intermittency
Advanced energy storage and smart grids are crucial for stabilising intermittent renewable energy. In contrast, government policies that promote private investment and green energy access are key to reducing emissions in India’s power sector.
GLOBAL ENERGY LANDSCAPE IS EVOLVING TO ADAPT NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCES
Innovations in energy storage, grid upgrades, and AI-enhanced efficiency drive the energy transition, while geopolitical tensions and supply chain issues stress energy security and diversification.
Fast-growing energy demand spurs focus on renewable security
Advanced solid-state batteries can store more energy in a smaller space, making them ideal for grid applications where high capacity and durability are essential.
The future of sustainable fuels
Hydrogen Is rapidly becoming vital in the global transition to sustainable energy solutions. Innovative technologies and strategic partnerships accelerate hydrogen adoption, especially in Southeast Asia.
Exploring green hydrogen, nuclear alternatives critical for sustainable future
As of September 2024, India's installed capacity is 452 gigawatts, with 34.13 percent contributed by renewable energy sources.
Solar rooftop technology enhances rural energy security, reducing grid inefficiencies
Decentralised renewable energy systems, including solar rooftops, are significant job creators, particularly in rural areas. These systems have higher job creation potential compared to utility-scale solar projects.
