50 Investible Opportunities for a New Nature Economy Supplementary Appendix 2026

58 New methods for dust suppression focus on reducing dust emissions while conserving water resources – Reduced particulate e missions: Effective dust suppression technologies significantly decreases airborne particulate matter, enhancing air quality for workers and surrounding communities. – Reduced pressure on local water resources : New methods reduce consumption of water, particularly beneficial in water - scarce regions.

Commercial loans and equipment financing are well suited to finance these retrofits. Additionally, sustainability - linked and thematic loans tied to water conservation and environmental performance could be structured.– Cost reduction p otential : Advanced systems use less water compared to traditional methods, yielding operational cost savings, particularly in water - scarce regions. They also require less frequent reapplication, and fewer health related expenses for workers.
