    The Future of Waste Management in a Circular, Zero Landfill World

    As the global shift towards a circular economy accelerates, the waste management industry faces a defining challenge: how does it eliminate landfill reliance while ensuring sustainable, efficient solutions? Governments and major private-sector players are pushing for repair, recycle, and reuse - but when end of its life is unavoidable, how should waste be handled? Waste-to-energy is a viable alternative, becoming an important pillar for managing municipal waste sustainably. By converting discarded materials into usable power and minimising the volume that ends up in landfills, this approach helps reduce environmental impact, supports energy diversification, and contributes to a cleaner future. It comes with some complexities, from feedstock calculations to the economic trade-offs of incineration for electricity versus landfill disposal. However, waste-to-energy continues to prove its potential as a key component of a sustainable waste management strategy, offering a pathway towards a future where waste is no longer a burden but a resource.  Featuring waste experts Tim Clarke, CEO of Warsan Waste Management Company, and Daker El Rabaya, CEO, Waste Processing, Treatment & Disposal at BEEAH. Moderated by Rob Jones, Partner at B2B Connect. Powered by World Future Energy Summit, the Future Energy Insights show seeks to address the biggest challenges shaping the future of energy today, both in the Middle East and around the world.

    The next generation of smart cities: Integrating AI, data, and community resilience for sustainable urban living

    As urban landscapes continue to evolve, the challenges we face are becoming increasingly complex. Climate change, population growth, and rapid urbanisation are pushing cities to their limits, necessitating smarter, more adaptive solutions. This is where technology comes into play. From advanced AI and big data integration to resilient infrastructure and forward-thinking mobility solutions, the potential for transformative change is immense. In this episode, our team explores the cutting-edge intersection of AI, data systems and urban infrastructure – a convergence that is not only transforming cities but also fundamentally reshaping our approach to sustainable living. We’ll discuss how these innovations are driving urban resilience. What defines a city that is not only sustainable but also responsive and adaptable to the needs of its inhabitants? How can cognitive buildings, smart infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles collaborate to create more livable and efficient urban environments? Jeffrey Beyer, Founder, and Managing Director of Zest Associates is joined this month by Sebastien Miller, Public Realm Design Manager at Masdar City and Mohamed Moselhy, Global Smart Cities Director at Honeywell.

    Advancing water security: A technology-driven approach

    Water security is one of the most pressing challenges in arid regions, where the combination of limited natural water resources and increasing demand places immense pressure on existing systems. The impacts of climate change, such as prolonged droughts, higher temperatures, and shifting precipitation patterns, exacerbate these challenges, reducing the reliability of traditional water sources. At the same time, rapid urbanisation further strains the infrastructure, as growing populations and expanding cities drive up water consumption, often beyond sustainable levels.  These compounded factors highlight the urgent need for innovative, adaptive, and integrated approaches to water management that address both current vulnerabilities and future uncertainties. In this episode, we’ll explore how technology is transforming water management, shifting the narrative from scarcity to resilience. From AI-driven leak detection and smart water grids to advanced desalination and stormwater capture systems, we’ll uncover the innovations that are redefining sustainable water security. Jeffrey Beyer, Founder, and Managing Director of Zest Associates is joined by Dr. Najib Dandachi, CEO at Al Usul and Prof. Fadi Comair, The Cyprus Institute and Senior Expert, Obeid & Partners Law Firm.
