Keppel Corporation’s infrastructure division and AM Green, which is wholly owned by the founders of Hyderabad-based Greenko, have decided to jointly explore opportunities in producing biogenic carbon-based sustainable fuels in South-east Asia and the Middle East. These sustainable fuels can serve as an environmentally sustainable alternative to fossil fuels to support the decarbonisation of heavy industrial operations and the aviation sector.

DUBAI: Lack of progress on designing a framework for a global goal on adaptation, or measures taken by countries to live with and become more resilient to adverse impacts of climate change, could derail a successful conclusion to the COP28 climate talks. While emission reduction or mitigation has clear goals-the temperature target of well below 2C and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C, there are no comparable targets for adapting to impacts of climate change. The 2015 Paris Agreement addresses this gap through the decision to put in place a global goal that mirrors that for mitigation. Over 8 workshops and two years countries have been working to develop this framework, which countries are expected to agree to in Dubai.
