🌏 Asia Clean Energy Forum (ACEF): Uniting Asia for a Clean Energy Future

🔋 Apa Itu Asia Clean Energy Forum?

The AsiaCleanEnergyForum (ACEF) is one of Asia’s most prestigious annual forums addressing critical issues around clean energy transitions, technological innovation, green investment, and cross-sector collaboration. The forum is organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in collaboration with global and regional partners.

Held annually in Manila, Philippines, ACEF brings together thousands of participants from across the spectrum — governments, the private sector, civil society organizations, researchers, investors, and activists — to discuss and network on efforts to accelerate clean energy adoption in the Asia and Pacific region.

🎯 Main Objectives of ACEF

  1. Accelerating Energy Transition
    Opening up opportunities for collaboration to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy such as solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy.

  2. Promoting Technological Innovation
    Introducing the latest technological solutions such as smart grids, energy storage batteries, energy efficiency, and energy digitalization

  3. Building Strategic Partnerships
    Becoming a networking platform between investors, technology providers, and governments in clean energy projects.

  4. Shaping Policies and Regulations
    Helping Asian countries build equitable, inclusive, and data-driven energy policies.

🔑 Main Themes That Are Often Raised

  • Net-Zero Emissions & Climate Goals

  • Just Energy Transition (Transisi Adil)

  • Financing Clean Energy (Pembiayaan Hijau)

  • Women and Energy

  • Decentralized Renewable Energy

  • Hydrogen & Energy Storage

  • Electrification of Transport

🧠 Why is ACEF Important?

Asia is the world’s largest energy consuming region. Without a rapid and effective energy transition, the region will face:

  • Spike in carbon emissions

  • Reliance on imported energy

  • Inequality in access to clean energy

ACEF is here to turn these challenges into opportunities, by involving all parties from local to international levels.

📍 ACEF Activities

  • Plenary Sessions: Large-scale panel discussions with global speakers

  • Deep Dive Workshops: In-depth sessions on specific technical topics

  • Marketplace for Clean Energy: A place to promote innovations and projects

  • Networking Events: A space for collaboration and presentation of initiatives

  • Youth Engagement: A program for young people to take part

🌿 ACEF Impact

For over a decade, ACEF has::

  • Supported the establishment of clean energy projects across borders
  • Connected thousands of energy partners in Asia
  • Became the birthplace of impactful regional policies and initiatives

The AsiaCleanEnergyForum is not just an annual conference — it is a collective movement towards a cleaner, more sustainable and inclusive future. In the face of the global climate crisis, collaboration is key. ACEF is proof that Asia is ready to lead the energy shift towards a greener world.
