ASEAN Methane Insightsserve as a compilation of status, news, and updates related to methaneabatement project in energy sector in ASEAN.This second volume is covering updates from June -December 2025. It has benefitted from the overall guidance of ACE’s Executive Director, Dato' Ir. Ts. Razib About The publication was led by Anis Zhafran, technically supported by Muhammad Zaidan, and reviewed byRaysieo Duakin and Shania Esmeralda Manaloe from FOM Department, Dr. Zulfikar Yurnaidi as the Head ofEnergy Modelling and Policy Planning (MPP) Department, and Dr. Amornwan Resanond as FOMDepartment’s Methane Expert. It is also reviewed by the ASEAN Council on Petroleum and Energy This second volume of ASEAN Methane Insights is developed by ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) under theHORIZONS project which is funded by Global Methane Hub (GMH).
