With the rise of renewable power, many nations are considering power-generating systems that will minimise the impact on the environment. The expo, in part, is intended to highlight the adoption of renewable power sources, which produce no carbon, thus slowing the pace of climate change. Vietnam, one of the fast-growing economies in Asean, has also adopted renewable power by developing solar and wind farms in several regions. The role of oil in many countries including Thailand is undeniable, as renewable power alone is insufficient to meet massive demand. Russia is also developing more nuclear power plants and new nuclear technologies, which it has exported to several countries in Asia and Africa.
