The report “Green Horizon: East Asia’s Sustainable Energy Future” published by the World Bank highlights the pathways to intertwine energy and development imperatives in East Asia. It outlines pathways to decarbonize the power and industrial sectors—which together contribute 75–87 percent of emissions—through greater efficiency, electrification, renewable energy, and advanced technologies such as green hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
Drawing on original data and in-depth assessments of China, Indonesia, and Viet Nam, the report identifies viable technical pathways, discusses implementation challenges, and offers a comprehensive policy package to accelerate the transition to net-zero industry. The report presents five global case studies that were analyzed to assess the enabling policies and support frameworks behind successful industrial decarbonization initiatives across major energy-intensive sectors.
