Fuelling a cleaner future
When it comes to energy sources, green is the new black.
While COP26 aims to banish coal, Asia’s dependence on it continues to grow as rapidly developing countries seek to meet booming demand for power. Determined to help the region transition from coal plants to cleaner power sources, Lim Wen Bin and Andrew Craig from KPMG in Singapore are working with the Asian Development Bank on a carbon reduction programme to help countries cool off the largest source of carbon emissions in the world.
