To meet these targets, Singapore will need to invest in innovative approaches to harness its solar power, like floating PV systems.
Top Carbon Capture Projects in 2022
Carbon capture has seen a steady increase over the last several decades. The largest concentration of CCS facilities is currently found in North America, but several other regions are pushing to increase their capacity over the next decade. Carbon capture has yet to see widespread implementation, but as the technology improves and costs decline, we expect to see its adoption increase.
Carbon Capture: Can This Technology Save Our Future?
Carbon capture technology is being implemented across the world. For hard-to-decarbonise industries, this is a potential pathway to remove unavoidable emissions. But, the question remains: what role should carbon capture play in other industries? Some experts see carbon capture as a distraction from the wide-scale adoption of renewables and a way for companies to maintain a "business-as-usual" approach.

The Energy Mix Review in Japan – A Glimpse of the Future
The energy mix review in Japan will show the world how determined the country is to fulfil its 2050 net-zero goal and ensure a green future.
Japan’s EV Sales Boom: The Hunger for Electric Cars
Historically one of the world's leading auto manufacturers, Japan is lagging behind China and the West with EV's. The country must expand its work in the EV market, even if it comes at the expense of its hydrogen projects.
Hyundai Motor Group Affiliates Join RE100
Four of Hyundai Motor Group's major affiliates announced they are joining RE100, a global initiative of corporations pledging to reach net-zero in their operations. This is an important shift for South Korea's second-largest company and will hopefully put pressure on other industry leaders to follow suit. Now it falls on the South Korean government to promote the development of renewable energy infrastructure to support these targets.
