Technological Innovation Examples: A Balancing Act for Climate Impact

Technology plays an important role in dictating how the world develops. It has helped humans advance, and it exists across all industries. However, innovations that exploit the environment do come with consequences. We are still looking for a balance between innovation, sustainability and progress. But, time is running out.

Best Technology Solutions For Climate Change Mitigation

Technology has a pivotal role to play in climate change mitigation. We need ways to efficiently harness renewable energy while reducing the climate impacts we have already created. While our current technology is a good start, we will need to find ways to continually speed up decarbonisation.

Technology and Climate Change: Taking a Look At the Policy Gap

The world is rapidly developing technology to slow climate change. However, global policy to support this shift is slow, leaving local governments responsible. This has led to vast policy differences across regions, making it challenging for the world to meet the required decarbonisation goals.

The Cost of Sustainability for Asia is Lower than the Benefits

As one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, Asia has virtually nothing to lose from the looming energy transition. While investments are needed, the cost of sustainability is negligible compared to what the continent stands to gain.

How to Reduce the Music Industry’s Climate Impact

Aside from a couple of bright examples, the music industry isn't the most vocal climate advocate. Fans, bands, tour managers, streaming companies and event organisers should team up to reduce the excessive climate impact of the industry.

The Economic Benefits of Renewable Energy for Asia: Crunching the Numbers

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in Asia will unleash massive economic benefits, including expanding the job market, ensuring steady GDP gains and hedging the unpredictable fossil fuel prices.

Promising Renewable Energy Statistics 2022 – Revealed By New Global Status Report

Despite the tremendous growth in new renewable energy additions, the energy system transformation is sluggish and fossil fuels continue to be the backbone of the global energy system. Without more engagement on the political front, global decarbonisation will remain a pipe dream.

How Google Is Tracking Global Methane Emissions and Air Pollution

Methane emissions from natural gas are rising globally, affecting the climate. Across cities, Google is now tracking where the leaks happen.

The G7 Summit 2022: A Recap of the 48th G7 Meeting and Where Leaders Failed

Leaders at the G7 Summit 2022 have taken some good steps but also some questionable ones, leaving a huge gap to fill leading up to COP27. Whether they follow on their pledges will show if there is any chance for the world’s net-zero journey to succeed. Because so far, the signs aren’t promising.

Are Exxon’s Asian Carbon Capture Intentions Genuine?

Exxon's carbon capture plans are grand. They hinge on developing an extensive CCS network centred in Singapore, connecting with the surrounding countries. Ultimately, this will facilitate the adoption of carbon capture in Southeast Asia and place Exxon at the centre of this growing market.

Does Wind Energy Have A Place In Singapore?

Singapore has grand plans for its renewable energy transition. This will primarily focus on domestic solar generation and the importation of renewable energy from neighbouring countries. Additionally, wind energy will likely have a small role to play. As low wind speed turbine technology improves, wind energy will become more viable for local generation.

Inside Asia’s Floating Solar Panels Boom

Floating solar farms provide a way for solar adoption in areas without adequate land – often in lakes and the ocean. When combined with existing hydroelectric dams, floating solar continues to become more enticing. The technology will likely play a major role in many Asian countries reaching their net-zero targets over the next several decades.

Green Energy Companies Driving the Net-Zero Transition

While the global energy transition is a collective effort, it won't be possible without green energy companies driving the innovation the industry. We look at some of the leading sustainable energy companies and technology manufactures and their plans to influence net-zero goals.

Best Renewable Resource Examples in Energy

What are the best renewable resource examples for energy sources? Wind, solar and hydropower are some of the most common and cleanest.
