The departure of Jeff McDermott, former co-head of Nomura's global investment banking division, has sparked a significant shift in Asia's clean energy sector. Nomura's $125 billion Sustainable Innovation Investment Scheme signals a strategic pivot towards decarbonization projects, despite McDermott's role remaining vacant. Key sectors like solar, wind energy, energy storage, and emerging hydrogen projects in Southeast Asia are driving the region's renewable energy capacity. The article advises investors to focus on manufacturers like Trina Solar and JinkoSolar, companies in the energy storage sector such as Tesla and LG Energy Solution, as well as early-stage hydrogen projects in Malaysia and Indonesia. Policy drivers like carbon neutrality goals in China, India, and Japan, along with U.S. trade policies and carbon markets, are shaping investment opportunities. However, risks such as infrastructure gaps, cost competitiveness of green technologies, and geopolitical tensions highlight the need for a diversified investment strategy. By monitoring policy shifts and focusing on countries with clear decarbonization targets, investors can capitalize on the unstoppable growth of Asia's clean energy transition, disregarding the temporary turbulence caused by leadership changes at financial institutions like Nomura.
