In the southwest of Singapore lies a farm – just not the type of farm you might assume it to be. At 45 hectares, it’s a serene sight in blue that houses one of the nation’s most exciting green developments: Sembcorp Industries’ floating solar farm at Tengeh Reservoir.
The floating solar photovoltaic farm at Tengeh Reservoir offers higher efficiency due to the cooling effect of the water over rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems. Photo: Sembcorp IndustriesThe success of the solar farm at Tengeh Reservoir has opened the door for large-scale floating solar PV systems to be built at PUB’s 17 reservoirs.
Sembcorp’s effort in greening its energy business does not stop with solar technology. They are also driving the deployment of energy storage systems to complement their renewable generation portfolio. In February, “As a leading Asian renewable energy player with 10GW of renewable energy capacity globally, as well as one of Asia’s largest battery operators, Sembcorp is able to cross-deploy capabilities, gain knowledge of industry best practices and apply its expertise across geographies,” he said.For SMEs, adopting greener operational procedures is both an environmental and business imperative.
According to Mr Lin, Kawarin Enterprise purchases steel then processes it to the required sizes. Some of its high-grade steel products are used in power station transformers here and in the region. “The challenge is introducing high efficiency, low-carbon materials from the steel mills to build the most efficient transformers, which are produced for global transformer makers,” he explained. Kawarin Enterprise had to thread a fine line, however.
“We looked to initiatives that would help our teams see the changes we were making,” she said. “One such ‘visibility initiative’ was to move from using wooden pallets to green plastic ones for local deliveries.”
