Hey Climate Confident listeners, in this enlightening episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Assaad Razzouk, CEO of Gurin Energy, host of The Angry Clean Energy Guy podcast, and author of the book Saving the Planet Without the Bullshit. We dove deep into Asia's energy transition and the future of renewable energy in the region.

In our conversation, we covered some critical topics, including:

• Asia's remarkable progress in renewable energy, from solar and wind projects in India to the growth of clean energy in Indonesia.
• The electrification of transportation and its impact on Asia's grid infrastructure.
• The role of Asian governments in supporting the clean energy transition and the success stories of countries like Vietnam.
• The challenge of plastic pollution in Asia: who's leading the charge and who's lagging behind.
• How Asian countries have stopped importing plastic waste from the West and what it means for the region.
• The importance of placing responsibility for waste and recycling on manufacturers and the progress made in countries like Indonesia.

This episode is packed with insights into the energy transition in Asia and how the region is stepping up to create a more sustainable future. Don't miss out on this fascinating conversation with Assaad Razzouk, a true expert in the field of clean energy and sustainability.
