Can Brunei be a solar power hub?

Brunei has floating solar potential of ~2.3 GW which presents an opportunity both for use in the electricity grid as well as for green hydrogen production. Adding 500MW of this potential to the grid would lead to increase in Solar PV penetration to 30%.

Will Brunei have a solar grid in 2035?

Using projected Oil Production, demand for H2 in Oil Refining is estimated at ~0.03 Mtpa in 2035. By 2035, Brunei could have ~30% of solar PV penetration in the grid. Hence, effective planning of the grid would be necessary to ensure that the energy system is resilient and flexible enough to avoid high curtailment and stability issues.

Will Brunei achieve a 30% renewable capacity target by 2035?

As per the Brunei National Climate Change Policy (BNCCP), Brunei aims to achieve a target of 30% of renewables capacity in the electricity mix by 2035, equivalent to 300MW. The majority share of the target is planned from utility-scale PV solar (250MW) and distributed solar (50MW)

Should libs be included in lead battery recycling?

Accidental inclusion of LIBs in lead battery recycling has proven hazardous, and better safety and recyclinge protocols are needed. The technical challenges facing lead–acid batteries are a consequence of the complex interplay of electrochemical and chemical processes that occur at multiple length scales.

What can Brunei learn from the pilot ahead hydrogenation project?

Brunei can leverage its learning from the pilot AHEAD hydrogenation project to develop this export market. Brunei’s Oil Refining industry offers an opportunity for domestic demand of Green H2. Using projected Oil Production, demand for H2 in Oil Refining is estimated at ~0.03 Mtpa in 2035.

Could Brunei become a CCS hub?

With significant domestic and overseas CO2 capture opportunity from heavy industries, and availability of storage resources, Brunei could aim to be a player in an emerging regional CCS hub ecosystem. Opportunity in transport is to both switch from ICE to EVs and to reduce car ownership by boosting public transportation.
