Introduction to Waste to Fuel Technologies: Biogas to Bio-CNG Read more about Introduction to Waste to Fuel Technologies: Biogas to Bio-CNG This presentation delves into the science of biogas, from the different sources of methane to the various processes and systems used to produce bio-CNG. Different components of the infrastructure system are also highlighted, as well as an extensive list of waste-to-fuel projects from around the world.
Interview Video - Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Urban Operations in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities Read more about Interview Video - Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Urban Operations in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities Asian Development Bank’s Sameer Kamal and Sonia Sandhu share their insights on the need to have an inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG); the connection of GHG in urban areas; and the specific challenges and opportunities in doing GHG inventories in Southeast Asia’s urban areas.
Biomethane: The Potential of Waste-to-Fuel in Asia and the Pacific Read more about Biomethane: The Potential of Waste-to-Fuel in Asia and the Pacific Biomethane, a purified form of biogas produced from different waste streams, is considered as compressed natural gas that can fuel transportation. In Sweden, biomethane has been used for public transport for over four decades. This presentation looks at biomethane application in other countries and highlights its benefits.
Session Video - Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Urban Operations in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities Read more about Session Video - Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Urban Operations in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s Sonia Sandhu and Sameer Kamal discuss the challenges and opportunities of accounting greenhouse gas emission of urban infrastructure projects, and incorporating GHG inventories into city investment planning processes. The aim of the interactive discussion is to align with ADB's commitments on climate change mitigation.
Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Urban Operations in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities Read more about Greenhouse Gas Inventories for Urban Operations in Southeast Asia: Challenges and Opportunities Mitigation progress cannot be measured without estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Capturing project and city emission estimates has yet to be fully mainstreamed as part of Asian Development Bank’s urban operations. Despite the challenges, there is a strong case for moving toward establishing and maintaining GHG inventories for cities in the long-term.
