Home / Projects Projects Carbon Verification & Carbon Neutrality Advisory services for a digital payment tokens (DPT) trading exchange September 3, 2021 All Projects, Carbon & Sustainability TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) was appointed to provide Carbon Verification and Carbon Neutrality Advisory services for a digital payment tokens (DPT) trading exchange based in Singapore. Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) suggests limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius to mitigate climate change. To achieve this threshold, carbon neutrality by the mid-21st century is essential. While large organizations are urged to transform their business to become net-zero, it is impressive to see an SME voluntarily demonstrates its commitment to climate actions. The scope of work included reviewing and verifying carbon inventory prepared by the client. TAC provided advisory service guiding the client through the challenges of meeting requirements set out in the Carbon Neutrality Standards, PAS 2060. Through this service, TAC supports our client in leading the transition to low carbon for long-term values and resilience in meeting SDG#13.

Home / Projects Projects Multi-disciplinary Consultancy Services for Enhancement of Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat May 5, 2022 All Projects, Environmental & Ecology TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) was awarded the environmental consultancy works for the enhancement of Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat. Following the completion of feasibility studies in 2020, TAC is glad to continue the work for the detailed design and construction of the proposed nature park as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Baseline data collected from various environmental surveys we conducted would aid in understanding potential impacts of the development on the biodiversity and ecology, hydrodynamic condition, and other relevant environmental aspects. TAC would advise the multi-disciplinary team on mitigation measures to minimize impacts from the development. Stakeholder consultations would be carried out during the EIA process to incorporate feedback from relevant stakeholders. TAC will also supervise the EMMP implementation for both construction and post-construction stages. For this project, TAC combined its multi-disciplinary strength and capabilities in environmental and ecological assessment, habitat enhancement, and wildlife management to protect and conserve one of the last remaining mangrove forests and the most extensive mudflat site in mainland Singapore. #MandaiMangroveMudflat #NatureBasedSolution #EIA #Multidisciplinary #Biodiversity #Ecology #Hydrodynamic #Sediment #Modelling #EMMP #StakeholderEngagement #HabitatEnhancement #WildlifeManagement #Mangrove #Mudflat #Singapore #SDG11 #SustainableCitiesCommunities #SDG14 #LifeBelowWater #SDG15 #LifeAboveLand Previous Back Next

Home / Projects Projects “Waste Management and Countermeasures Against Marine Litter” Training Course for Japan – Singapore Partnership Programme for The 21st Century (JSPP21) September 24, 2021 All Projects, Capacity Building TEMBUSU Asia Consulting (TAC) was awarded the contract to design and develop a 5-day training program on Waste Management and Countermeasures against Marine Litter for the Singapore Cooperation Program (SCP) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) under the Japan – Singapore Partnership Program for the 21st Century (JSPP21). Combining waste management knowledge and experience, TAC introduced a series of lecture sessions, group discussions, case studies sharing and simulation games and activities for 21 participants working in the environmental and marine ministries from 7 different countries including Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. The program provided the participants with a better understanding on waste issues and sustainable waste management best practices from Singapore and Japan in both the land and marine environment. Through this course, participants learnt and understood the challenges and severity of consequences of marine litter and gained insights on possible solutions using circular economy approaches, emerging technologies, social efforts, and policy making to solve these waste problems. Using its multidisciplinary strength and capabilities in waste resource planning and management, TAC successfully delivered a practical and holistic perspective for the participants on waste and marine litter, as part of our efforts to fulfill SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 14: Life below Water.

Home / Projects Projects Workshop on EIA and EMMP: “Developing an understanding of EIA & EMMP process” July 16, 2021 All Projects, Capacity Building TEMBUSU Asia Consulting was invited to conduct a one-day capacity building workshop on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP). The participants consisted of officers from a Government Agency, EPC Contractor, and consultants of the project team. The purpose of this training programme is to explain the fundamentals of executing an EIA and EMMP and how these tools can assist developers and EPC Contractors to manage potential adverse environmental impacts from infrastructure development. Comprehension of these topics is important especially in light of the increasing public awareness of environmental and climate change issues, which contribute to the greater scrutiny of infrastructure projects within environmentally sensitive areas in Singapore. As such, it is vital that a thorough understanding of the EIA and EMMP process is developed among all stakeholders, including Architects, Engineers, Sustainability Practitioners, EHS Practitioners, Construction Professionals, Environmental Control Officer, and Government Officers. In the near future, we hope to provide this training for other stakeholders in the Built-Environment and Infrastructure sectors. With such a training programme as our contribution to sustainable development through SDG #4 Quality Education and SDG #17 Partnerships for the Goals , we hope to build our partner’s capacity and minimize the environmental impacts from various development.
