Garbage in – energy out: what you need to know when developing waste-to-energy projects in Southeast Asia
Rapid urbanisation in Southeast Asia means increased waste that needs to be managed. While this is clearly a challenge given that the region’s population is expected to rise from about 686,825 million to 724,664 million by 2030, it also presents an opportunity to manage this waste as a resource that can be reused, particularly in areas with limited land mass and where traditional landfill is not an option.

End of the Line – Approaches and insights to Timber Waste Management
As the construction industry shifts towards sustainability, managing the end-of-life of timber has become essential. Mass timber, with its lower carbon footprint compared to traditional building materials like concrete and steel, offers significant environmental benefits. However, to fully realise these benefits, we must address the entire lifecycle of timber and plan for its future waste management.

How to halve the carbon footprint of new builds
Concrete production is responsible for 7% of global emissions and is the most widely used construction material in the world. A new study by the Danish concrete association, Dansk Beton, has concluded that too much concrete is used in buildings and smarter design methods combined with lower emission types of concrete can almost halve a new building’s carbon footprint and significantly reduce material consumption.

Recent Developments in South Korea’s Offshore Wind Deployment
As of now, South Korea has identified a total of 128 offshore wind farms, with 116 currently under development, representing a substantial capacity of 44 GW. However, only 10 OWFs are operational, contributing a commercial capacity of 124.5 MW. Notably, among these projects, 63 units have a capacity of 200 MW or higher, indicating an attractive project size to draw financial interest as well as a strong push towards larger-scale offshore wind energy production. This development status reflects South Korea’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy infrastructure.

Mobility hubs – an important piece in the decarbonisation puzzle
The transport sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for about 21% of global carbon emissions. However, it also holds immense potential for decarbonisation. In this article, we will discuss different strategies and demonstrate how mobility hubs can leverage different strategies to enable the adoption of sustainable transport options.
