Following the recent announcement of its Energy Transition Policy, the Papua New Guinea Chamber of Resources and Energy (PNG CORE) provides further details on this initiative, which focuses on promoting sustainable energy practices and addressing climate change.

This policy underscores PNG CORE’s commitment to facilitating a just and equitable transition
towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future for Papua New Guinea (PNG). Energy
Transition is a strategic agenda for PNG CORE.

PNG CORE envisions a Papua New Guinea where clean, renewable energy powers sustainable
development, enhances energy security, and fosters prosperity for all.

PNG CORE Sustainability and Climate Change Committee Chair Felix Kipalan states, “We are
dedicated to promoting and facilitating the transition to a sustainable energy future in PNG by
advocating for policies, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation within the energy and
resources sector.”

“We aim to promote renewable energy by advocating for policies and incentives that
encourage the development and deployment of renewable energy sources to diversify PNG’s
energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Additionally, support efforts to improve energy efficiency across all sectors through the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, practices, and standards.”

“We also seek to foster innovation and research by promoting investment in research, development, and innovation to drive technological advancements in clean energy, energy storage, and energy management solutions tailored to PNG’s unique context.”

PNG CORE also aims to strengthen the capacity and skills of Papua New Guineans to participate in and contribute to the energy transition, particularly in areas such as renewable energy development, energy management, and sustainable resource utilisation.
