Recent Sessions
(Session 22) Carbon-Negative, Water-Positive: Innovative Wastewater Management Technologies
Globally, around 80% of wastewater ends up untreated in rivers, lakes, and oceans, threatening ecosystems, human health, and food security. In Asia and the Pacific, rapid urban growth, industrial expansion, and tighter discharge standards are putting even greater strain on centralized, energy-intensive, and costly treatment systems. Discover how innovative technologies can meet this rising demand while recovering resources like water, energy, and nutrients.
1. Algaesys: Algaesys offers a carbon-negative algal wastewater treatment and resource recovery system that runs on solar power, absorbs CO2, and works at any scale
2. Elefo Biotech: Elefo Biotech developed Elefo CRT, an onsite wastewater treatment system that transforms toilet wastewater into clean, reusable water
Download the presentation(Session 21) 1 Hour to Net Zero? Digital Solutions for Carbon Management
Carbon accounting is becoming a critical capability for emissions-heavy sectors like water, urban development, and agriculture. Together, these industries are responsible for over 40% of global emissions, according to the IPCC. This eMarketplace session features two innovative technologies in the carbon accounting and management space: ERI’s intelligent system enabling rapid carbon inventories, and YC Holdings’ ASPNex, a patented digital platform that integrates GHG tracking, CBAM compliance, and carbon pricing.
Explore how these innovations are enabling faster, more strategic pathways to accelerate and optimize decarbonization efforts.
(Session 19) Innovative Japanese Technologies Revolutionizing Water Resources Management
Climate change and rapid urbanization in Asia and the Pacific are intensifying water scarcity, flooding, and pollution. Effective water resources management is crucial for ensuring equitable access to clean water, mitigating disasters, sustaining food security, and promoting economic growth. Discover how Japanese technology solutions can enhance water resource management in Asia and the Pacific.
