KUALA LUMPUR : Hydrocarbons will continue to be an important part of the energy mix in Southeast Asia, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Monday, as affordability and energy security remain key concerns for the region of more than half a billion people.
"Instead, Asia must take every opportunity to further dialogue and actions around how we can responsibly plan to enable every country its right to development and lower carbon aspirations," he said. Anwar said natural gas would play an important role in the energy mix for Malaysia, which is among the world's top five LNG exporters.
Scientists say that while developing new technologies is key, cutting emissions is still crucial to keeping the world from warming more than 1.5 degrees Celsius over the pre-industrial era.
