The global push for climate action is driving governments and industries to adopt innovative technologies to cut emissions. Among them, carbon capture and storage (CCS) beneath the seabed has emerged as a potential solution offering long-term storage for CO? emissions from industrial sources.
To ensure such technologies are deployed safely, the London Convention and its modern counterpart, the London Protocol, serve as key international frameworks. These treaties regulate the disposal of waste at sea and provide the legal basis for subsea CCS, balancing climate innovation with marine protection.
The London Protocol permits the safe injection and permanent storage of captured CO? in sub-seabed rock formations, particularly from large single-point sources such as power plants and industrial facilities. It enforces strict environmental safeguards, including impact assessments, long-term monitoring, and risk management to protect marine ecosystems. Amendments have also enabled cross-border transport of CO? for offshore sequestration, fostering international collaboration on climate mitigation.
This evolving regulatory landscape highlights the growing need for technical expertise in assessing the environmental implications of marine-based climate interventions. AGV is well-positioned to support such initiatives through its expertise in climate-related reporting and Ocean EIAs. With proven capabilities in aligning disclosures with global sustainability frameworks and navigating regulatory requirements, AGV can help proponents of CCS and other ocean-based solutions demonstrate transparency, compliance, and environmental responsibility.
Marine-based climate solutions are gaining traction, and AGV helps organisations align their sustainability reporting with global standards such as IFRS S2 and GRI. By helping translate complex initiatives into clear, credible disclosures, AGV supports stakeholder confidence and enables responsible climate action.

Waste-to-Energy (WTE) solutions are gaining traction as Malaysia advances toward a circular economy and low-carbon future. Under the 12th Malaysia Plan and the National Energy Transition Roadmap, the government aims to develop 18 WTE plants by 2040 to modernise solid waste management, reduce landfill reliance, and generate up to 600 megawatts of renewable energy. These facilities divert non-recyclable waste from open burning and landfills major methane emitters while contributing to national climate goals, including a 70% renewable energy capacity and a 45% emissions reduction by 2050.
As part of this agenda, Malaysia’s second WTE plant is under development in Sungai Udang, Melaka, with a projected investment of RM660 million. Set for completion by 2029, the facility will process 1,000 tonnes of waste daily, generate 22 megawatts of power, and cut over 259,000 tonnes of CO? emissions annually equivalent to planting more than four million trees.

Nature-related risks are increasingly influencing the business landscape, and companies that consider biodiversity in their decision-making are better positioned for long-term sustainability. As climate change accelerates biodiversity loss, transparent reporting helps organisations build investor trust, enhance resilience, and align with global sustainability commitments. TNFD disclosures help businesses identify and manage nature-related dependencies, while creating opportunities for responsible growth. Integrating biodiversity considerations into reporting enhances risk management and accountability.
AGV can help organisations bridge this gap by providing TNFD-aligned disclosures supported by biodiversity assessments, ensuring that nature-related financial risks and ecosystem dependencies are effectively integrated in strategic decision-making.
We bring extensive expertise in sustainability consultancy, playing a pivotal role in guiding businesses through biodiversity challenges. Our team of seasoned environmental consultants includes ecologists with deep knowledge and hands-on experience across diverse ecosystems. From terrestrial and aquatic environments to marine and avian ecology, our specialists are well equipped to identify risks and opportunities stemming from biodiversity impacts in project development.
