Development & investment

Local needs.Projects built to last.

From feedstock collection to the users of recovered resources and energy, we assess technology, finance and local conditions to shape a practical route to environmental infrastructure development.

Considering the full path from feasibility to development and operation

Areas of focus

From recovered resourcesto local infrastructure.

Our evaluation spans the connected systems that support resource efficiency, cleaner energy and sustainable urban development.

01

Recover and reuse resources

We consider projects that connect waste sorting and recovery with the next use of materials.

  • Waste Management
  • Recycling
  • Circular Economy
  • Resource Recovery

02

Make use of gas, power and heat

We assess organic feedstock and hard-to-recycle waste against appropriate options and local energy demand.

  • Waste-to-Energy
  • Bio-CNG
  • Renewable Energy

03

Support water and urban systems

Our evaluation also covers water treatment and related environmental technologies that address local needs.

  • Water & Wastewater
  • Environmental Technology
  • Climate Infrastructure
  • Sustainable Urban Infrastructure

Markets

Assessing technologyin its local context.

Feedstock, regulation and demand differ by location. We seek to assess opportunities across Japan and Asia with partners who understand local conditions.

Japan

Technology, engineering, management and capital linked to environmental infrastructure opportunities.

India

Opportunities associated with urbanisation, waste generation and demand for modern infrastructure.

China

Environmental technology, clean-energy and circular-economy opportunities.

Selected Asian markets

Other regional opportunities assessed according to local needs and project feasibility.

These are markets under consideration, not a list of offices or operating project locations.

Development process

From concept to operation,one decision at a time.

We assess the conditions needed at each stage. The ten development steps are grouped into three phases.

01

Investigate

Understand needs, feedstock and feasibility

  1. 01

    Opportunity identification

    Identify opportunities consistent with the platform’s environmental infrastructure focus.

  2. 02

    Preliminary feasibility

    Assess the initial technical and commercial case.

  3. 03

    Feedstock assessment

    Review the quantity, characteristics and availability of suitable input materials.

02

Plan

Assess technology, requirements and economics

  1. 04

    Technology assessment

    Evaluate technologies against feedstock and project requirements.

  2. 05

    Environmental & regulatory assessment

    Assess the environmental context and applicable project requirements.

  3. 06

    Financial modelling

    Examine project economics and key assumptions.

03

Develop and operate

Structure the project and progress towards operation

  1. 07

    Investment structuring

    Consider suitable investment and partnership structures.

  2. 08

    Project development

    Advance the project through development activities.

  3. 09

    Construction & commissioning

    Progress approved projects towards operational readiness.

  4. 10

    Operations & performance monitoring

    Monitor operating performance and project-level outcomes.

Investment structures

The right structurefor each opportunity.

Potential structures depend on the needs and characteristics of each opportunity.

01

Direct investment

Evaluating capital participation in suitable environmental infrastructure opportunities.

02

Joint ventures

Combining complementary technology, development and local capabilities.

03

Strategic partnerships

Building long-term collaboration across the environmental value chain.

04

Project development

Progressing suitable concepts through assessment and development.

05

Technology partnerships

Connecting Japanese and international technologies with regional project needs.

06

Infrastructure investment

Assessing long-term assets for environmental and commercial value.

Outcomes and projects

Once operations begin,keep assessing outcomes.

As operating data becomes available, we intend to report verified indicators including waste treated, resources recovered, gas and energy produced, landfill diversion and estimated emissions reductions.

Verified performance figures have not yet been published.
