Vientiane, 30 September 2024 – The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) is delighted to announce the launch of the 8th edition of The ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO8) during the 42nd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) and Associated Meetings, held in conjunction with the 24th ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF-24) in Vientiane, Lao PDR. AEO8 is a flagship report, developed by ACE in close collaboration with the ASEAN Member States and partners, that supports the implementation of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC). The report provides a comprehensive analysis of each programme areas in the energy landscape across ASEAN, outlining pathways to achieve national and regional energy targets and beyond up to 2050. 

The 42nd ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting (AMEM) was also attended by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, currently also serving as Vice Chairman of the 42nd AMEM and Its Associated Meetings. According to a post on his official Facebook account, he has highlighted the country's stance on various issues in the field of energy. Among them, the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) initiative as the main agenda in conjunction with Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025 to drive the country's and ASEAN's energy transition, an inclusive and equitable energy development agenda and the country's aspirations towards net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) release, specifically the Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), the Hydrogen Economy Roadmap (HETR) and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP).

H.E. Phosay Sayasone, Minister of Energy and Mines, Lao PDR, underscored the importance of AEO8 during his opening remarks on the Joint Opening Ceremony of 42nd AMEM with AEBF-24, stating “As the ASEAN Chairman this year, Lao PDR recognises the importance of AEO8 as a fundamental guide in our journey towards achieving resilience and sustainable energy future. This report not only aligns with our national objectives, but also reinforces ASEAN's shared vision for a sustainable development."

The development of AEO8 was made possible by the ASEAN Member States (AMS) Working Group’s crucial data provision, along with the Regional Energy Policy and Planning Sub-Sector Network (REPP-SSN) active consultation. Building on the 7th ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO7), launched in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in 2022, AEO8 offers a more comprehensive analysis and projections for each energy sector in ASEAN, ranging from electricity to energy efficiency, covering the period from 2022 to 2050 and aligning with ASEAN’s efforts to carbon neutrality.

Beni Suryadi, Acting Executive Director of ACE, underscores the significance of AEO8, stating “The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) stands as a testament to advancing energy security, accessibility, affordability, and sustainability across the ASEAN region. The launch of AEO8 aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of ASEAN’s energy landscape and serves as a key document for the ASEAN Member States to support the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) implementation, achieving both national and regional energy targets by 2050. According to AEO8, energy demand in 2050 is 2.6 times higher than 2022. This rapid growth underscores the urgency for a coordinated efforts among ASEAN Member States to transition towards cleaner energy sources while maintaining economic growth and addressing the region’s rising energy needs.”

Acknowledging the diverse energy demands and situations across each country, AEO8 presents four distinct scenarios for a more comprehensive analysis of ASEAN's energy landscape. The Baseline Scenario (BAS) explores pathway of no additional efforts on the energy efficiency and renewable energy policy as a reference point. The AMS Target Scenario (ATS) highlights the impact of current national targets and policies, showing potential outcomes if current strategies are sustained. The Regional Aspiration Scenario (RAS) is the least-cost optimisation in power sector, while keeping 2025 APAEC targets and other regional standards, whenever possible, and using the additional constraints beyond 2025. Lastly, the Carbon Neutrality Scenario (CNS) emphasises decarbonisation effort using optimisation of low-emission technologies while keeping the 2025 APAEC targets. 

In summary, AEO8 reveals:

• ASEAN end-use consumption is still dominated by industry and transport sectors, with coal and oil products dominating respectively. Overall, the final energy demand is expected to grow 2.6 times from 2022 to 2050.

• Reflecting the current APAEC targets, under the ATS, the region will have 39.6% of RE share in installed power capacity (overachieve) and 31% (close) of EI reduction by 2025. By 2030, it’ll have 23.5% of RE in TPES. Meanwhile, the RE in installed capacity could reach 44.1% and the EI reduction could reach 40.2%. 

• Emerging technologies start to enter to ASEAN energy mix. For example, in the CNS, nuclear and tidal & wave in installed capacity are projected to exist starting from 2032 and 2035, respectively. New fuels in demand sector include Hydrogen and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which will be introduced in the region's TFEC by 2023 and 2025, respectively.

The AEO8 serves as a critical resource designed to empower AMS in its pursuit of energy security, accessibility, affordability, and sustainability in the region. By providing detailed analyses and projections, AEO8 guides AMS navigate the complexities of the global energy transition while addressing the regional challenges ahead.

Kavalan Launches “LÁN Whisky”: A Floral-Inspired Core Range Expression Designed for Export

 

 Kavalan distillery has launched its first whisky in tribute to its birthplace, Yilan County, across select markets around the globe.

Available for export, “LÁN” (43% alc./vol. 700ml) is the Mandarin name for “orchid” with the character also appearing in both the names, “Kavalan” and “Yilan”.

Whisky enthusiasts at Hong Kong Whisky Festival and Korea Bar and Spirits Show were among the first to experience this exceptional new expression. After its initial debut in Asia, LÁN is set to captivate Europe at Whisky Live Paris in September.

The first phase of the launch will include markets across the EU, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Canada. A second wave will soon follow, bringing LÁN to all other countries where Kavalan is currently exported, ensuring whisky lovers everywhere can experience this unique expression.

Kavalan CEO Mr. Y. T. Lee shared his inspiration behind the floral whisky, which draws from the award-winning "King Car Peach" orchid, exclusively cultivated by Kavalan’s parent company, King Car.

“Our port-aged LÁN Whisky captures the delicate floral aromas of the King Car Peach orchid,” said Mr. Lee. “It offers a sophisticated blend of vanilla and roasted nuts, enriched by our signature STR technique using Vinho wine casks, resulting in a smooth, fruity profile with layers of caramel sweetness.”

Kavalan’s pioneering STR (shaving, toasting, and recharring) technique allows for deep penetration into the oak casks, unlocking the hidden flavors within. This innovative process contributed to Kavalan’s Solist Vinho Barrique winning the “World’s Best Single Malt” at the World Whiskies Awards in 2015, showcasing our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Since 1988, King Car Group has been a leader in orchid research, meticulously cultivating new varieties. This expertise and passion for excellence extend to the creation of LÁN Whisky, marking another milestone in Kavalan’s journey of innovation.

LÁN Whisky, 43% alc./vol. 700ml

[Product Description]

Refreshing vanilla notes from bourbon barrels combine with the fusion of nutty, floral aromas from port casks. Further enriched by Kavalan‘s STR technique, infusing the whisky with a caramelized fruity sweetness achieved through shaving, toasting, and recharring Vinho wine casks. Accentuated by dessert and nutty woody tones, it exudes an overall lightness and elegance, with a pure and constantly surprising aroma. Achieving a subtle balance among rich layers.

Colour: Deep Amber

Flavour: Captivating orchid aromas blended with rose, jasmine, peony, and orange blossom scents combined with creamy vanilla, chocolate, caramel, honeydew melon, and fruit gummies. The finish has nut and cinnamon notes, evoking a distant forest.

Palate: Refreshing floral and fruity aromas intertwined with creamy and chocolate notes, culminating in a lingering nutty and cinnamon woody fragrance.

Unlocking the Future: Samsung Galaxy AI and the Next Generation of Smartphones

 

In an era where technology evolves at lightning speed, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives is no longer a futuristic dream but a present reality. For many, the next big leap in smartphone technology is found within Samsung's latest innovations, particularly Galaxy AI. As we dive deeper into this new chapter, it’s essential to understand how Galaxy AI caters to the ever-evolving needs of those seeking to upgrade to a more advanced and intuitive experience.

The Dawn of Generation AI

Generation AI represents a seismic shift in how we interact with technology. Unlike previous tech revolutions, AI is not just an addition to our devices but a fundamental transformation in how they operate and serve us. This isn't just about voice assistants or facial recognition; it's about a deeper, more intuitive integration that anticipates and responds to our needs.

Young or old, we have acclimated ourselves in a world where technology is not just an accessory but a way of life. Most of us have become digital natives who expect their devices to be not just functional but smart, adaptive, and seamlessly integrated into their daily routines. For us, AI means more than just advanced features; it’s about personalisation and efficiency.

For this purpose, many users look to elevate their smartphone experience, seeking features that are more advanced and cutting-edge technology. Transitioning to more advanced mobile devices and incorporating Galaxy AI into their daily lives offers a compelling reason to make the switch.

Samsung’s S series, known for its premium build and top-notch performance, now comes equipped with Galaxy AI, bringing a new level of intelligence to the device. This transition is more than just a hardware upgrade; it’s about embracing a new way of interacting with your smartphone. The S series, with its advanced processors and AI capabilities, ensures that users experience improved camera functionalities, and smarter content creation options.

The Evolution from Older Samsung Phones

Older generation Samsung phones, while reliable and functional, often lack the advanced AI capabilities that define the latest models. As technology progresses, these older devices can feel limited compared to the innovations found in newer models. Galaxy AI represents a significant leap forward in this regard, offering features that were previously unimaginable.

For users of older Samsung phones, upgrading to a model with Galaxy AI means stepping into a world where the device not only meets but anticipates your needs. From enhanced security features to improved camera capabilities and smarter app management, the difference is striking. The AI-driven enhancements ensure that users benefit from the latest advancements in technology, making the upgrade a worthwhile investment.

Joining the S Series Family

Joining the S series family is more than just acquiring a new phone; it’s about joining a community of tech enthusiasts who value cutting-edge technology and premium experiences. Samsung’s S series, with its integration of Galaxy AI, offers a sophisticated blend of style and functionality. The AI-powered features are designed to make every interaction more intuitive and efficient.

For those considering this upgrade, the benefits are clear. Galaxy AI not only improves the performance of your device but also enriches your overall user experience. Features such as adaptive screen brightness, intelligent power management, and advanced photo editing tools are just a few examples of how AI can enhance everyday tasks.

Accessing the Power of AI in Your Everyday Life

The true value of Galaxy AI lies in its ability to integrate seamlessly into everyday life. It’s not just about high-tech features; it’s about making technology work for you in meaningful ways. For instance, Galaxy AI’s predictive text and personalised suggestions make communication faster and more intuitive. Its advanced camera features, powered by AI, ensure that every photo is optimised for the best possible result, while its smart battery management keeps your device running longer, tailored to your usage patterns.

In conclusion, Samsung’s Galaxy AI is setting a new standard for what smartphones can achieve. For Generation Z and those looking to upgrade from the A series or older devices, the S series represents an opportunity to experience the future of mobile technology today. By integrating AI into every aspect of the user experience, Samsung is not just keeping up with technological advancements but leading the way. Embracing Galaxy AI means stepping into a world where your smartphone is not only a tool but an intelligent companion, enhancing every aspect of your digital life.

realme 13 Pro Series Makes You Feel Like Holding RM509 Million Worth of Design on Hand

 realme, the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) to introduce two exclusive color variants of the realme 13 Pro Series—Monet Gold and Monet Purple. This partnership brings the legendary Impressionist artist Claude Monet's masterpieces to life in a stunning new form, offering younger generations a fresh connection to Monet's timeless art.

Monet-Inspired Design: A Tribute to Impressionism

The Monet Gold and Monet Purple editions are inspired by two of Monet's iconic works, Grainstack (Sunset) and Water Lilies, each reflecting his revolutionary use of light and shadow. These exclusive designs showcase Monet’s mastery through millions of shimmering particles that mimic his signature brushstrokes, creating a sophisticated frosted finish that is both visually stunning and fingerprint-resistant.

This artistic collaboration highlights realme's commitment to merging technology with culture, making Impressionist art accessible in a modern, tech-savvy way. The result is a premium smartphone experience that combines elegance and practicality, perfect for those who appreciate both technology and fine art.

Monet’s Legacy in Modern Design

Monet's artwork continues to captivate audiences, consistently commanding some of the highest auction prices in the world. In 2019, his painting "Meules" (Haystack) set a record, selling for an astounding $110.7 million (approximately RM509 million). In 2018, "Nymphéas en fleur" (Water Lilies) fetched $84.7 million, underscoring the lasting impact and value of his work. By incorporating elements of Monet’s artistry into the 13 Pro Series, realme aims to connect with the younger generation, blending art with cutting-edge technology.

Cutting-Edge Camera Technology

In addition to its revolutionary aesthetics, the realme 13 Pro Series sets a new standard for smartphone photography. As realme’s first ultra-clear camera phone powered by AI, the 13 Pro Series features two advanced Sony LYTIA sensors, including the industry-first Sony LYT-701. This powerful camera system empowers users to capture breathtaking, ultra-clear photos, offering young creators a way to document their world with precision and style.

The AI-enhanced features of the 13 Pro Series enable users to take professional-quality photographs effortlessly, making it ideal for aspiring photographers and social media enthusiasts who want to make their moments stand out.

A New Era for realme

As part of its 2024 rebranding initiative under the slogan "Make it real," realme is emphasizing its focus on young consumers, aiming to deliver cutting-edge technology with real, tangible benefits.

To all the productivity ninjas and digital explorers out there, are you ready to level up your smartphone game? Buckle up, because Samsung's latest Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 are about to take you on an epic journey of productivity, creativity, and endless possibilities. These aren't your average smartphones, they’re not even your average folding smartphones. Instead, they are a personal assistant, guide and creative studio all rolled into one – but way cooler, because they fold! 

Here are four reasons why you’ll want to lay your hands on Samsung’s latest Galaxy AI-powered foldables to reach your goals and resolutions. 

Productivity Goals: Work Smarter, Not Harder

 

Let's talk productivity. Today, we are busier than ever, having to constantly tackle work, plan our social lives and simultaneously think about taking time for family, not to mention for self-care. The Galaxy Z Fold6 is like your trusty sidekick, ready to tackle any challenge. Its expansive 7.6-inch screen  is awesome for multitaskers; imagine drafting an email, checking your calendar, and checking out that cat video that a colleague sent across, all at once! Features like Note Assist  and Browsing Assist are like having a super-smart study buddy who helps you take notes, or to summarise and translate articles in matter of seconds.

On the flip side, the Galaxy Z Flip6 is all about style and convenience. Need to take a hands-free selfie for the 'gram? Just flip it open and let FlexCam with the all-new Auto Zoom  do its magic. Boom! You're looking flawless thanks to its 50MP Wide and 12MP Ultra-wide sensors providing an upgraded camera experience, even if you're juggling coffee and a croissant while on your way to work.

Search Goals: Find Anything, Anytime

 

The thing about living in a digital era means that actually finding what you need online might not be as easy as it seems. Fret not, let the Galaxy Z Fold6 be the magnet that helps you find the proverbial needle in the haystack. Simply circle or highlight a picture of anything – a plant, a landmark, or something zoomed in from far away like a small bird – and Circle to Search  will offer instant search results. 

Multi Window also lets you split the screen and search for different things simultaneously, while also arranging the windows to your preference with handy swipe gestures. It's like having multiple tabs on your computer, but way more fun, and the computer fits neatly into your pocket. 

Need to read through a PDF in a different language for work? Translate and overlay the text through the PDF overlay translation feature in Notes . The feature also supports text in both images and graphs, making the Galaxy Z Fold6 a useful personal assistant that is with you throughout the day.

Communications Goals: Bridging the Gaps

 

Whether you're a social butterfly or a workaholic, communication is key to forging meaningful connections. The Galaxy Z Fold6's newly embedded transcript feature in Samsung Notes is a lifesaver for meetings, lectures, or even brainstorm sessions with your bestie on the itinerary for that trip to Busan that you’ve been planning for. It records and transcribes everything, so you can focus on the conversation and not worry about taking notes.

When you finally get the chance to take that long-awaited holiday, the Galaxy Z Flip6's Interpreter  feature comes with a conversation mode which is like having a personal translator in your pocket, letting both parties view translations on the main and cover screens for more natural interactions. Live Translate  feature enables translation of phone calls in real-time, so you can chat in your native language with someone else in theirs, anywhere. Bonjour, hola, or konnichiwa – making sure that everyone is on the same page is easier than ever!

 

Creative Goals: Unleash Your Inner Artist

Whether you make your living as a creative, or are thinking of dipping your toes into art, the Galaxy Z Flip6's AI-powered Photo Ambient  feature will turn your phone into a work of art by creating unique, personalised wallpapers that evolve throughout the day. 

If you feel that your creative juices are on a roll, the Galaxy Z Fold6's Sketch to image  lets you transform simple doodles into digital masterpieces, whether sketching, or drawing on photos in your Gallery or Note screen. You can also take stunning portraits using Portrait Studio  with a variety of different portrait styles such as 3D cartoon or watercolour, that'll make your friends green with envy.

Fold Your Way to Awesome
