What is Sustainability?

Reducing our impact on our planet and a better way to do business
Earth's resources MUST be used at a rate at which it can be replenished.
Protecting our environment (future generations)
Being as energy efficientas possible
Reducing and recycling waste
Minimising pollution

… a better way to do business
… a value-added, problem-solving approach
… the practice of delivering solutions that create a desirable future for people, business, environment
… a healthy state of dynamic balance between human and natural systems
“In the 21st Century, global citizenship is not just a corporate responsibility, but also a prime business opportunity to grow our company in new ways.”— Debra Dunn, Senior VP, Hewlett-Packard

Masdar City sustainability vision

Decision Framework

Roadmaps decision framework

Technology Gap Analysis
The Technology Roadmap process is tailored to identify the key gaps in the demands / expectations across all technology sectors:
Water
Waste
Energy / District Cooling
ICT
Transportation

Technology Gap Analysis
Base Projects & Primary Projects
Dry MRF + In-Vessel Composting
Biomass burner – construction wood waste
Waste minimization and AWCS
Alternative water options-Dew/Fog collector
Reduce undercroft lighting and ventilation
Reduce non-resident building electrical load
Geothermal energy + pumping to demand
Reduce street lighting load
Add 1 MW PV ground mount to 10 MW farm
Eliminate blackwater treatment electrical load – use biogas from anaerobic digestion
Reduce water distribution energy load
Water supply from seawater or groundwater
RO desalination plant on-site
Flora/Fauna/Wildlife/People optimization
Increase electrical distribution efficiency
Reduce ICT and PRT demand
28% Energy gap compare to 44% gap
for 10% better than AD reference results
11% Energy gap compare to 31% gap
for demand < 40% AD reference w/Roadmaps
Use Seawater or Off-Site Ground Water for potable water w/Green Power at intake or well location
