For companies with manufacturing operations in Asia, renewable energy procurement has moved from long term ambition to immediate operational challenge. While corporate climate targets continue to rise, the realities on the ground vary widely by market, policy environment, grid structure, and supplier capability. What is technically possible on paper is often very different from what can actually be executed at the factory level.
On April 16, RESET Carbon and LRQA will host a technical webinar designed to help sustainability, energy, procurement, and supply chain practitioners cut through this complexity and focus on what works today.
Webinar details
- Title: Renewable Energy in Asia’s Tech Supply Chain: A Market by Market Reality Check
- Date: April 16
- Time: 10:00 AM PST | 1:00 PM EST | 6:00 PM BST
- Format: Live technical webinar
Why this webinar
Renewable energy in Asia is not a single market. Each manufacturing hub operates under its own regulatory framework, grid constraints, commercial structures, and levels of buyer influence. As a result, renewable energy projects often stall not because of lack of ambition, but because of misaligned expectations, unrealistic promises, or unclear execution pathways.
This session is intentionally practical. Rather than focusing on pledges or high level strategy, it will examine what is actually deployable today, where the real constraints lie, and how procurement decisions are made on the factory floor. This approach reflects the same market-specific, execution-focused thinking behind RESET Carbon’s renewable energy procurement services, which support companies and suppliers in moving from ambition to implementation across Asia.
Drawing on RESET Carbon and LRQA’s direct experience working with buyers, suppliers, factories, and developers across the region, the webinar will provide a grounded, market specific view of renewable energy procurement in:
- China, where policy design and market structures shape what factories can access
- Taiwan, where grid access and project availability create significant bottlenecks
- Vietnam, where regulatory uncertainty continues to influence near term options
What will be covered
Participants can expect a clear and candid discussion of:
- The gap between renewable energy options that are theoretically available and those that are commercially and operationally viable at the factory level
- How procurement pathways differ by market maturity, regulation, and buyer leverage
- Common failure points that cause projects to stall after years of discussion
- Why some initiatives move quickly to execution while others do not
This is not an introductory session or a discussion of climate commitments. It is a technical briefing for practitioners who are already engaging suppliers, evaluating renewable energy pathways, or troubleshooting active projects.
Speakers
The session will feature perspectives from both on the ground execution and global commercial strategy sides of renewable energy deployment:
- Ellen Wu, General Manager at RESET Carbon, based between Shanghai and Taipei. Ellen works closely with global companies and their suppliers to translate climate commitments into practical action across complex manufacturing environments in Asia.
- Jimena Klauer, Head of Commercial Strategy Climate Performance Americas at LRQA. Jimena brings a global perspective on how companies structure and scale climate performance programs, bridging regional execution realities with broader commercial and performance objectives.
Together, they will provide a practitioner led view of what renewable energy procurement in Asia really looks like today.
Who should attend
This webinar is designed for professionals actively working on renewable energy and Scope 2 or Scope 3 decarbonization in Asia, including:
- Sustainability and decarbonization leads at tech brands and OEMs
- Supply chain and manufacturing sustainability teams engaging Asian suppliers
- Procurement and operations professionals evaluating factory level renewable energy options
- Program managers responsible for supplier renewable energy execution
Register
If you are working to move renewable energy projects from discussion to execution in Asia, this session will help clarify what is feasible today and where to focus next.
