Home / Projects Projects Biodiversity Screening of an Island Offshore of Sabah, Malaysia November 19, 2020 All Projects, Environmental & Ecology TEMBUSU Asia Consulting was commissioned to conduct a biodiversity screening of an island offshore the mainland of Sabah, Malaysia. While the land use history of the island has left much of the terrestrial vegetation in a degraded state, the coasts and waters around the island are teeming with various marine habitats and biodiversity that utilises these habitats. Our works begin with the desktop study and field survey of the existing biodiversity to better understand the island’s overall ecological importance in the regional context. From these data that we gather, we are then able to provide recommendations to our Client to safeguard marine habitats, restore and enhance terrestrial habitats, and contribute to sustainable, low-impact developmental plans on the island.

Home / Projects Projects Specialist Consultancy Services for a Proposed Residential Development July 3, 2023 All Projects, Environmental & Ecology TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) embraced an integrated approach to transform the forest at Yishun into a dynamic living space by realising the full potential of using natural waterways as part of the region’s holistic beauty. TAC’s team of wildlife, ecology and environment professionals were responsible for conducting a biodiversity study to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment. With the site being a forested zone housing a rich diversification of species, a portion was designated to be kept as part of a nature park area. TAC recommended measures to ensure that future infrastructure and development works would not adversely affect sensitive fauna, particularly due to the generation of noise and dust from work activities. Trainings were also conducted on the biodiversity issues pertaining to the project, including species found at the project site, the importance of biodiversity conservation, and ways to avoid human-wildlife conflict to spruce up the environmental awareness of key personnel. Our services enabled our client to conduct their project in a manner that is sensitive to our fauna biodiversity, thus moving towards fulfilling UN SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities and SDG 15: Life on Land.

Home / Projects Projects Greenhouse Gas Verification Services for a Power Generation Company July 31, 2024 All Projects, climate change 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
