Select countries in Asia-Pacific
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, governments in Select countries in Asia-Pacific have committed at least USD 228.88 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 54.90 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 77 policies (48 quantified and 29 unquantified)
- At least USD 9.15 billion for conditional fossil fuels through 16 policies (11 quantified and 5 unquantified)
- At least USD 7.34 billion for unconditional clean energy through 76 policies (47 quantified and 29 unquantified)
- At least USD 80.04 billion for conditional clean energy through 53 policies (38 quantified and 15 unquantified)
- At least USD 77.45 billion for other energy through 29 policies (16 quantified and 13 unquantified)
By energy type, Select countries in Asia-Pacific committed at least USD 21.32 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 20.43 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 892.39 million to conditional oil and gas).
In addition, Select countries in Asia-Pacific committed at least USD 38.56 billion to coal (at least USD 30.96 billion to unconditional coal and at least USD 7.60 billion to conditional coal).
Further, Select countries in Asia-Pacific committed at least USD 1.27 million to hydrogen based on fossil fuels (at least USD 1.27 million to unconditional hydrogen based on fossil fuels).
Finally, Select countries in Asia-Pacific committed at least USD 3.14 billion to multiple fossil fuels (at least USD 3.14 billion to unconditional multiple fossil fuels).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Select countries in Asia-Pacific through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

The bill seeks to amend the Mines and Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, and would bring in mega reforms in the sector with resolution in legacy issues, thereby making a large number of mines available for auctions. It is expected to strengthen the auction-only regime and boost transparency in the system. The reforms as part of the bill include removing the distinction between captive and non-captive mines and introduction of an index-based mechanism by developing a National Mineral Index (NMI) for various statutory payments, among others. In order to boost exploration, there will be review of functioning of the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET). NMET will be made an autonomous body. Private entities will also be engaged in exploration works now. Simplification of exploration regime will also be done to facilitate seamless transition from exploration to production. | https://web.archive.org/web/20210321133347/ https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/coal/lok-sabha-passes-bill-to-amend-mmdr-act/81602553 |

That sector in of itself is responsible for twice the emissions of the EU carbon market, until now the world’s biggest. The ETS scheme does not put a cap on carbon emissions though. Rather, it imposes carbon intensity limits for every unit of electricity a power plant generates. Operators whose plants are below the benchmark will be able to sell their carbon credits and those that go beyond the threshold will need to buy additional credits. | https://www.climatechangenews.com/2021/01/07/china-launches-worlds-largest-carbon-market-power-sector/ |
