This strategic move reinforces TAC’s expertise to drive the regional carbon trading market alongside ACI, catalysing the generation and issuance of high-quality carbon credits to meet the increasing market demand in Asia . The World Economic Forum projects that Asia's green economy will play a transformative role globally in the next decade, with its market for green businesses expected to reach between USD 4 to 5 trillion by 2030 . In 2023, Asia led in terms of carbon credit transaction volume in the voluntary carbon market. Despite a notable pullback from REDD+ projects last year, the Asia carbon market shows ample room for growth . Meanwhile, carbon credits from engineered projects overtook nature-based credits in 2023 . With a special focus on engineered projects such as technology-based and urban-related carbon reduction and removal solutions, ACI provides greenhouse gas mitigation project proponents in Asia an alternative standard that is closer to home for credit registration. TAC will offer its technical expertise and regional knowledge to verify the integrity of the carbon credits based on relevant standards. Pooling their network together, ACI and TAC are expected to expand their reach to more companies in Asia and beyond, providing an avenue for more Asian players to participate in the emerging Asia carbon market . Celebrating its 6th year anniversary on 7th July 2024 , TAC recounts the role it has in driving Singapore corporates’ decarbonisation efforts. From Sustainability-Linked Loans and Resource Efficiency Grants to Verification under Singapore’s Carbon Pricing Act, TAC has been conducting greenhouse gas validation and verification for companies in Singapore as part of the companies’ carbon reduction journeys. Supported by Enterprise Singapore, TAC deepened its capabilities and was accredited by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) for its greenhouse gas verification competencies . This provided greater assurance that TAC’s verification process is aligned to international standards and opened doors for TAC to access new opportunities in the carbon services space. To date, TAC has verified over 9.16 million tonnes of greenhouse gas for various industries. With ACI’s accreditation, TAC can support project developers from Asia in fuelling Asia’s decarbonisation agenda. As carbon taxes and Emission Trading System in Asia mature, the demand and value of carbon credits are anticipated to rise in the near future. This timely accreditation by ACI enables TAC to verify the additionality and verifiability of carbon credits from energy, manufacturing and chemical industries to mining, waste, and afforestation and reforestation sectors , giving Asia’s greenhouse gas mitigation project proponents more access to register their carbon credits. From left to right: Alexander Zehnder (Steering Board Member of ACI), John Lo (Founder of ACI), Tan Seng Chuan (Chairman and Managing Director of TAC) and Lee Shiau Ping (Department Head of Carbon & Sustainability at TAC).

Home / Projects Projects Greenhouse Gas Verification Services for a Power Generation Company July 31, 2024 All Projects, Carbon & Sustainability On February 2022, Singapore’s Finance Minister Lawrence Wong announced during the Singapore Budget 2022 that the city-state will raise its carbon tax to S$25 per million tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2024 and 2025, from its current value of S$5/mtCO2e. The amount will progressively increase to S$45/mtCO2e in 2026 and 2027, and S$50 to S$80/mtCO2e by 2030. This move represents one of the largest government-mandated carbon taxes to finance its decarbonisation efforts, create a regional carbon marketplace, and bring forward its net zero emission deadline. The carbon tax will be applied on emission-intensive facilities that directly emit at least 25,000 mtCO2e of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission annually. Companies registered as a taxable facility may utilise high quality international carbon credits to offset up to 5% of their taxable emissions from 2024 onwards. Under the Carbon Pricing Act (CPA), industrial facilities are required to comply to the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) requirements to determine the amount of GHG emissions annually. To do so, facilities must submit a Monitoring Plan and an Emissions Report and engage an NEA-accredited third-party verifier to verify the accuracy of the Emissions Report and implications of GHG control measures. One of Singapore’s largest power generation facilities approached TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) to conduct its MRV and verify their reckonable GHG emissions as indicated in their Emissions Report. The scope of MRV includes extensive desk analysis on data collected during the reporting period, and physical inspection of the facility’s emission streams and sources. TAC also conducted in-depth analysis on the facility’s quality management framework and data management system to substantiate the claim made by the client. TAC then submitted an endorsed Verification Plan Summary and Verification Report to NEA for verification once the MRV has been conducted, as required. This project highlights TAC’s commitment to fulfil 3 of UN SDGs, SDG 7: Clean and Affordable Energy, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 13: Climate Action. Previous Back Next

Home / Projects Projects Tianjin Eco-city Zero Waste Plan August 12, 2020 All Projects, Urban Resilience TEMBUSU Asia was appointed to develop the Zero Waste Master Plan for the flagship Sino–Singapore Tianjin Eco-city (SSTEC), one of the 16 cities in China chosen to pilot the Zero Waste programme. Being a collaboration between China and Singapore sets the SSTEC apart from the other cities with this project poised to become a model Zero Waste Eco-city in China. Building on SSTEC’s eco- and smart city status, its master plan will take references from Singapore’s own Zero Waste Master Plan and expand on its pilot Implementation Plan. The master plan will incorporate the understanding of the present Key Performance Indicators, datasets on waste stream mapping and projection, and current waste management practices. TAC identified 4 key waste streams in SSTEC (namely domestic, food, horticultural, and construction & demolition wastes) and developed a strategic transformation master plan with 3 approaches: circular economy, technology innovations, and stakeholder engagement. Each approach includes strategies and initiatives customised to SSTEC’s local context to address various challenges and limitations unique to each waste stream. The Zero Waste Master Plan will be developed with a roadmap projected over a 15-year timeline and built on quantifiable and achievable targets for the short, medium, and long-term milestone year of 2025, 2030 and 2035, respectively.

Home / Projects Projects Environmental Services for the Reconstruction of a Water Treatment Plant in Singapore August 26, 2021 All Projects, Environmental & Ecology TEMBUSU Asia Consulting was engaged to provide environmental services for the reconstruction of an existing water treatment plant in western Singapore. The plant is surrounded by important biodiversity, including birds and mammals of conservation significance inhabiting the forests, and rare aquatic fauna inhabiting the streams. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be carried out during the design stage. The EIA work includes the establishment of baseline conditions within the study area via field surveys of environmental aspects including biodiversity, water quality, air quality and noise quality. The collected data would be analysed to assess the environmental impacts associated with the project site based on the proposed development plan. Given the importance of the site for biodiversity, the preparation of an Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) with recommended mitigation and monitoring measures will help to mitigate the adverse impacts generated during the construction stage and will lead to the project implementation in an environmentally sustainable way. TAC will also support the Client during the construction stage in overseeing the implementation of EMMP and reporting requirements. TEMBUSU Asia Consulting is committed to supporting the sustainable development of the infrastructure project and will assist the Client in developing the project in an environmentally responsible manner.
