Home / Projects Projects Validation & Verification Plan Review for an Oil and Gas Company December 13, 2022 All Projects, Carbon & Sustainability In Singapore, the carbon tax is set at a rate of $5 per tonne of GHG emissions (tCO2e). To achieve our climate ambition, the carbon tax will be raised to $80/tCO2e by 2030. Hence, companies are making their effort to improve their energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. An international Oil and Gas Company has engaged TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) to review and endorse their Measurement and Verification (M&V) Plan for the application of the Resource Efficiency Grant for Energy . As part of the process, our client is required to submit a verified pre-validation and post-verification plan for quantifying the carbon abatement delivered through the project implementation. Our client seeks to reduce their power and fuel consumption by installing a piece of additional equipment to debottleneck the capacity, thus increasing their efficiency while reducing carbon emissions at the same time. TAC’s services include reviewing M&V plan by conducting validation and verification through rigorous risk assessments, data collection, review of documentary evidence, and interview sessions as well as producing the validation and verification report.

Home / Projects Projects Development of Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans (EMMPs) across Singapore May 20, 2024 All Projects, Environmental & Ecology TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) developed several Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans (EMMPs) for projects across Singapore. These projects include the redevelopment of a recreational park, the construction of ticketing booths, and the reinstatement of land. EMMPs aim to ensure that environmentally sensitive receptors (i.e., humans, animals, and plants) around the project site are not negatively impacted by the project activities. TAC first identified the surrounding sensitive receptors and conducted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). TAC then outlined the necessary measures to minimise potential impacts on the environment. These include measures to protect biodiversity and maintain regulatory standards for air quality, water quality, and noise. To ensure that the measures were implemented, regular site visits were conducted and the EMMP was adapted in an iterative process. One of the projects was in close proximity to coastal and forested habitats which host biodiversity. One mitigation measure to minimise disturbance to the swiftlet colony located nearby was to potentially avoid major works during the swiftlet breeding season. Overall, the effective implementation of EMMPs ensured that the projects were carried out in a sustainable and environmentally-sound manner. #EMMP #SDG11 #SustainableCitiesCommunities #SDG15 #LifeOnLand #EIA Previous Back Next
