EB Studio The country’s latest green energy auction might have been hampered by issues with transmission lines, but experts say this should not stop businesses from expanding their renewables use. Battery storage could be a solution.

Battery recycling needs standardising, say experts, who also call for loopholes to be closed and awareness raised among EV owners.

Electric car makers need alternative sources for battery materials, as deep-sea mining talks stall. The attention is on recycling, but the regional industry outside China is nascent. Experts say political will is needed to get the drive on.

EB Studio The Philippines adopted an ambitious national goal to increase the share of renewable energy in its power generation mix to 35 percent by 2030. New policies and technologies can help the nation enhance its energy security, say industry experts.
