The fifth edition of the annual report covers 10 markets: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Unveiled at Temasek’s Ecosperity Week 2024 on April 15, the Southeast Asia’s Green Economy 2024 – Moving the needle report whittled down an initial pool of 94 investible ideas, identifying four priority areas: nature and agriculture, power, transport and buildings.
New methods of rice cultivation, precision agriculture and energy efficiency improvements for data centres are among 13 “investible ideas” identified in a new report by Bain & Company, GenZero, Standard Chartered and Temasek.
Individually, these “market-ready” ideas have the potential to reduce carbon emissions above 100 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (MtCO2e/year) and immediate emissions returns are possible within the next year, say the report’s authors. Together, these 13 ideas could generate US$150 billion ($204.16 billion) in annual revenue by 2030, they add.
