The Livability Challenge 2025: Decarbonisation

We are looking for disruptive deep-tech solutions that provide scalable and impactful solutions to reduce carbon emissions across diverse industries.

Examples of such solutions include, but not limited to:

  • Waste-to-resource
    Effective capture and conversion of key waste streams (e.g., point-source carbon, biomass-based or other waste carbon) into value-added products (e.g., point-source or direct CCUS into consumables such as sustainable aviation fuels, marine fuels, chemicals, higher carbon products, fertilisers, proteins) or permanent carbon removal and storage (e.g., point-source or direct CCUS into stable building materials)
  • Renewable energy
    To generate cost-effective energy from renewable sources (e.g., wind, solar, hydropower), technologies that accelerate the clean energy transition (e.g., green hydrogen, ammonia), as well as solutions that facilitate the long-term storage of energy and address energy intermittency (e.g., batteries and battery energy storage systems).
  • Energy efficiency
    Significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions produced by built environment systems (e.g., building cooling systems) as well as hard-to-abate industries (e.g., manufacturing – food & agriculture, cement, steel, aviation, marine, logistics, healthcare).

Additionally solutions should be:

  • Carbon negative in the overall lifecycle and have zero/minimal externalities
  • Technology-based (e.g., physical, chemical); or nature-based solutions (e.g., community models)
  • Commercially viable and scalable
  • Able to conduct the pilot in Singapore (for technology-based solutions) or within Southeast Asia (for nature-based solutions)

The top two solutions will win S$1 Million each in grant funding.
