The Energy Transition in Brunei

Brunei is strategically positioning itself to be a leader in sustainable energy within Southeast Asia. With vast reserves of natural gas, it remains a key player in the global energy market, primarily through LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports. However, in response to global calls for climate action, the country is progressively implementing policies aimed at reducing its carbon footprint and enhancing its renewable energy capacity. Brunei's energy diversification efforts include exploring solar power and increasing its focus on green technologies to complement its robust hydrocarbons sector. Furthermore, Brunei's commitment to adhering to ESG frameworks ensures that economic development is balanced with environmental and social responsibility. The government's long-term goals are also aligned with regional energy integration and cooperation through ASEAN and other international partnerships, ensuring that Brunei remains an active participant in the energy transition while fostering economic resilience and environmental sustainability.
