Annotation:

The world economic activity is shifting towards the Southeast Asia (SEA), where new international centers have gained strength: China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and others. The flip side of the region's active growth is the energy deficit, as a result of which not only oil and gas but also coal, which is losing popularity in other countries due to its unecological nature, is widely used. The area imports the lion's share of its consumed energy sources, which, in the context of the energy transition, raises the importance of the well-known energy trilemma of energy affordability, energy security, and sustainability for the region, which is addressed by the creation of low-carbon clusters in SEA to facilitate the diffusion of innovation, R&D, skilled labor and capital. From this perspective, the authors of the article analyze current regional groupings in Southeast Asia, examine the role of clusters in national economies and energy sectors and consider the examples of cross-border cluster development.
