Innovative Clean Enviro-Solutions for Asia's Growing Cities - https://cleanenvirosummit.gov.sg/

CESG serves as a global networking platform for thought leaders, senior government officials, regulators, policy makers, and industry captains to identify, develop and share practical and scalable solutions to address environmental challenges, including those caused by climate change.

27/09/2024

Thought leaders, industry captains and policymakers convened in Singapore from 19 to 21 June 2024 for , to explore solutions for a sustainable and clean environment.

Here are some event highlights, as well as insights from our speakers and attendees.

at : World’s First Geostationary Satellite Instrument Focusing on Air Quality Observations of Atmospheric Aerosols and Gaseous Pollutants at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

Launched in 2020, the Republic of Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research’s (NIER) Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) onboarded its GEO-KOMPSAT-2B satellite, an instrument that focuses on observations of atmospheric aerosols and gaseous pollutants.

GEMS produces hourly daytime air quality measurements over Asia, where air pollution is a major concern due to rapid population growth and urbanisation. It enables scientists to study changes in atmospheric composition, to better understand the causes and effects of air pollution.

A collaboration between NEA, NIER, and the National University of Singapore seeks to study the applications of GEMS data to address environmental and air quality issues.

at : High-resolution Climate Futures for a Climate-resilient Singapore and Southeast Asia at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

The Centre for Climate Research Singapore led the Third National Climate Change Study (V3) which provides the world’s highest resolution climate change projections for Singapore and the Southeast Asia region until the end of the century, based on the latest 6th Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Working off the IPCC AR6, V3 shows climate projections based on low, medium and high global emission scenarios.

V3 provides a common scientific basis for all, including government agencies, academia and businesses, to prepare for a climate-resilient future. V3 findings are publicly available via the Data Visualisation Portal, which includes science and stakeholder reports, infographics, and the Climate Visualiser that allows users to explore how the climate in Singapore and Southeast Asia will change.

at : Southeast Asia’s First Semi-Automated Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Recycling Line and Novel Applications of Shockwave at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

Funded by NEA's Closing the Waste Loop Funding Initiative, Singapore Polytechnic collaborated with Sembcorp Solar to develop and demonstrate Southeast Asia’s first semi-automated solar PV recycling pilot line, processing ~60 PV modules per day and can recover more than 90% of the panel’s weight.

Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) also studied the application of shockwave fragmentation as a complementary method for the separation of laminated materials of both glass-backsheet and glass-glass solar PV panels.

at : Transforming Printed Circuit Board Recycling: Recovery of User-Defined Precious Metals and Rare Earth Elements at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

Waste Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are typically recycled by shredding the whole PCB for recycling. As the elements are mixed, this method of shredding does not allow for selective recycling of high value and precious metals.

Funded by NEA's Closing the Resource Loop Funding Initiative, Singapore CEA Alliance for Research in Circular Economy (SCARCE) seeks to develop an Artificial Intelligence assisted automatic line that disassembles and sorts electronic components from PCBs based on their elements. This allows selective recovery of metals which can yield higher recovery rates and purity, with simpler processes.

Research will also be conducted on specific hydrometallurgy processes to recover precious and critical metals from waste PCBs. The development of more efficient and environmentally friendly recycling processes is expected to significantly improve the prospects of PCBs recycling and beyond.

at : Autonomous Waterway Cleaning Robot at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

It is vital to keep Singapore’s waterways clean as they channel water to reservoirs that supply the city with precious drinking water. NEA cleans 27 waterways daily to remove flotsam and debris before the water reaches the reservoirs.

Cleaning the waterways is laborious and typically requires workers on a boat to manually collect debris using hand nets, exposing them to adverse weather conditions and the risk of falling into the water.

In 2023, NEA, together with 800 Super Waste Management Pte Ltd, explored the use of an Unmanned Surface Vessel for waterway cleaning. The Autonomous Waterway Cleaning Robot is the result of several rounds of refinement made to the vessel, and has been deployed at Sungei Seletar. It is fully charged by solar power and can clean the entire waterway by itself, increasing productivity by up to 80%. Workers are now upskilled to operate the robot.

at : Strengthening Singapore’s Public Health Resilience with Wastewater Surveillance at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

Wastewater surveillance has been a crucial tool in Singapore's COVID-19 response. The national wastewater surveillance programme led by NEA involves screening wastewater samples for viral material, which can be shed in wastewater by infected individuals through their stools and/or respiratory discharges.

To overcome the challenge of sustainably scaling it up in a short span of time, NEA swiftly developed automation and engineering solutions, achieving surveillance coverage of about 500 sites, with the testing capacity of up to 5,000 samples weekly at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The programme’s success has led to its expansion for the testing of other diseases, such as the Zika virus, enhancing Singapore's public health resilience.

Read on to learn more about the programme's induction at https://www.nea.gov.sg/media/news/news/index/nea-leads-scientific-team-in-wastewater-surveillance-trials-for-assessment-of-covid-19-transmission.

at : Project Wolbachia – Singapore: A Novel Control Tool to Fight Dengue at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

Project Wolbachia involves the large-scale production and release of male Wolbachia-Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to suppress the field Aedes aegypti mosquito population, through cytoplasmic incompatibility which causes wild-type females to produce non-viable eggs.

Covering approximately 480,000 households in Singapore, the project has reduced the Aedes aegypti mosquito population by over 90% and dengue risk by up to 77% in sites within one year of releases. The production and release capacity are being ramped up for further and more cost-effective roll-out in the next few years.

at : “Automated Inspection and Detection of Irregularities in Niches” at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion!

NEA is the lead agency in planning and ensuring adequate supply of after-death facilities, including burial, cremation, columbarium, and ash scattering services.

With over 200,000 occupied niches in NEA’s after-death facilities, manual inspection is both resource-intensive and unsustainable. This project was commissioned under the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s Open Innovation Platform Challenge to develop a prototype for automated inspection using robotics and vision analytics.

Subsequently, under the Environmental Robotics Programme in 2021, Senserbot Pte Ltd was awarded to further develop the prototype. With promising results thus far, NEA intends to implement this solution at one of its after-death facilities.
