Singapore has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 36% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, with a long-term goal of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 under the Paris Agreement. A critical component of Singapore’s climate strategy involves improving energy efficiency across its government and commercial buildings, which are significant contributors to the city-state’s energy consumption and carbon emissions.
However, Singapore faces challenges such as high urban density and financial constraints that limit the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. ESCO Financial helps Singapore overcome these challenges through its Energy Efficiency-as-a-Service (EEaaS) model, which provides the capital necessary to upgrade critical energy systems. This includes modernizing HVAC units, boilers, chillers, smart controls, motors, compressors, air handling units, and lighting systems, leading to substantial reductions in energy consumption and GHG emissions.
The International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) is essential in ensuring that Singapore’s energy efficiency measures result in measurable carbon reductions. By applying IPMVP, Singapore can demonstrate the effectiveness of its initiatives, supporting its Paris Agreement commitments and attracting further international investment.
Singapore also faces challenges in managing waste, particularly in reducing methane emissions from landfills. ESCO Financial’s Waste-to-Energy-as-a-Service (WtEaaS) model provides a sustainable solution by converting waste into energy, reducing landfill reliance, and aligning with Singapore’s Paris Agreement goals. This approach accelerates Singapore’s progress toward achieving Net Zero by 2050, contributing to both environmental sustainability and energy generation.
