Outstanding initiatives lauded at Asian Power Awards, Asian Oil & Gas Awards, Asian Water Awards, and Asian Waste Management Awards

The awards programmes honoured excellence across the energy, utilities, and environmental sectors in Asia.

The power, oil & gas, water, and waste management industries have evolved rapidly, driving economic growth in response to addressing environmental challenges and increasing demand. This transformation reflects the region's commitment to balancing growth with ecological stewardship.

To honour companies and projects that drive innovation and sustainability in the region, the Asian Power Magazine proudly presents the Asian Power Awards, Asian Oil & Gas Awards, Asian Water Awards, and the inaugural Asian Waste Management Awards to celebrate key players in these industries.

Winners for all four award programmes were honoured at an awards dinner in Conrad Centennial Singapore on 22 October 2024.

In its 20th year, the Asian Power Awards — dubbed as the "Oscars of the Industry"— once again lauded the trailblazers of the power sector, recognising innovative and transformative projects that address climate challenges and meet the surging demand for energy.

The 4th Asian Oil & Gas Awards shone a spotlight on the resilience and excellence of the region’s oil and gas sector. In its second year, the Asian Water Awards lauds remarkable achievements in water management, conservation, and sustainability.

Finally, the inaugural Asian Waste Management Awards made a grand debut, showcasing cutting-edge waste management practices and sustainable solutions, highlighting the industry’s critical role in reducing environmental impact and promoting circular economies.
