1. Introduction

As countries around the world are stepping up to focus on renewable and sustainable

energy, many are growing their clean technology capabilities to address climate change.

The Paris climate conference held in December last year was widely talked about as 195

countries came to an agreement that sets out a global action plan to avoid dangerous

climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C1. On the global scale, the

United States, France, India and 17 other countries will double the US$10 billion they

had collectively spent on clean energy research and development in the next five years.

Singapore being part of this major global agreement played a big role during the Paris

climate conference. Minister of Foreign Affairs and head of the Singapore delegation, Dr

Vivian Balakrishnan was a co-facilitator appointed by the French government, as host of

the talks, to try to find resolutions on the issue of differentiation.

According to a Straits Times report in December 2015 on the Paris climate conference,

Singapore which is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for its energy and has large

petrochemical, shipping and aviation industries, has pledged to reduce its emissions

intensity by 36 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030, and stabilise its emissions with the

aim of peaking around 20302. A key solution in the reduction of emissions and mitigation

of the effects of climate change would be clean and renewable energy. As developed

countries continue to support climate action to reduce emissions and developing

countries building resilience to climate change impacts, there will be a global transition to

a clean energy system.

2. Background of Singapore’s Renewable and Sustainable Energy Sector

Singapore is a small country with limited natural resources and faced with polluted water

and droughts in her early days, Singapore was challenged to look at other possibilities to

sustain as a nation. With limited land space, Singapore did not have a large area for

water catchment and hence Singapore has been importing water from Johor, Malaysia,

under two bilateral agreements3. The Singapore’s national water agency, Public Utilities

Board (PUB), has been focusing on water conservation and looking for new ways for a

sustainable water supply over the last 50 years and has since developed a ‘Four

National Taps’ water supply system comprising of (1) local catchment water, (2)

imported water, (3) highly-purified reclaimed water known as NEWater, and (4)

desalinated water. Singapore’s NEWater is a big success story because for three

decades after 1974, the PUB developed a method to turn treated used water into

drinking water called NEWater. NEWater is produced from treated used water that is

further purified using advanced membrane technologies and ultra-violet disinfection,

making it ultra-clean and safe to drink4.

Singapore’s NEWater is a testimony, which reflects the nation’s focus on innovation and

the development of capabilities in resources and energy. According to the Economic

Development Board of Singapore, clean technology or more commonly quoted as

“cleantech” was identified as a key economic growth area by the Singapore government

as early as 2007 and since then Singapore has been a leading clean energy hub for the

region. With limited renewable energy options, Singapore has increased its efforts to

grow the cleantech and renewable energy sector with new investments. According to the

Business Times report, besides having established dedicated research centres and

funded R&D activities through the Energy Innovation Programme Office and the Energy

National Innovation Challenge, Singapore is pioneering new innovation models through

public-private partnerships; it is also creating living lab platforms where new innovations

can be tested and commercialised before being scaled-up for regional markets.5

3. Current Initiatives

Aiming to become Asia’s leading Cleantech Hub, Singapore government has made
significant research and development investments to develop Cleantech capabilities and
engineering for the region.

According to a Channel News Asia report in October 2015, Minister for Trade and
Industry (Industry) S Iswaran revealed at the Asia Clean Energy Summit that the
Economic Development Board had secured five new investments across the fields of
solar, fuel cells, smart grids and testing services in Singapore. The five companies -
Intelligent Energy, Accenture, OMNETRIC Group, DNV GL and Grass Energy - have

5
committed a total of S$150 million in cumulative business expenditure over the next five
years and the creation of over 100 jobs. These investments reflect Singapore’s
positioning as an effective cleantech hub especially in areas of innovation, development
and financing.

3.1 CleanTech Park Living Lab Programme

Various existing infrastructures in Singapore has been utilised as testbedding
locations to develop and test clean energy solutions and technologies. One such
location is the CleanTech Park. The CleanTech Park Living Lab Programme
pairs Singapore industrial infrastructure developer JTC with cleantech industry
players to test new clean-tech ideas and projects. The programme is held at
Singapore's first eco-business park, CleanTech Park. The Clean-Tech park is in
sum an R&D and test-bedding site for early adoption of technology and solutions.
Located beside the Nanyang Technological University, the 50-hectare Park was
developed with emphasis on retaining the natural environment and biodiversity of
the area and serves as a choice location for forward-looking corporations that
embrace environmental sustainability.

3.2 Punggol Eco-Town

Another test-bedding site is located at Punggol Eco-Town. The first eco-town in
Singapore, Punggol Eco-Town has been selected as a test-bedding site for
energy, urban mobility, water and waste management technologies. Solar
photovoltaic system has been installed on numerous housing blocks to power
common facilities, such as elevators and lighting in common areas. In addition,
water technologies, such as rainwater harvesting and water monitoring, are
implemented to decrease water usage and enhance water quality6.

 3.3 Singapore Power Energy Advanced Research (Spear) Development
programme
The SGD$30 million SPEAR programme is a partnership between the Economic
Development Board (EDB) and Singapore Power to accelerate the growth of
energy network technologies across Singapore’s grid infrastructure7.

3.4 TechBridge Ventures

A joint venture between Nanyang Technological University and 360Ip,
TechBridge Ventures aims to support small and medium enterprises in cleantech
areas, such as nanotechnology and energy, with technology development and
commercialization.

4. Funding Schemes

To encourage business to adopt environmental sustainability strategies, the Singapore

government has introduced various funding schemes related to environment
sustainability. According to SPRING Singapore, since 2007, the Singapore government
has invested more than $700 million to grow and develop the cleantech industry in
Singapore. A list of some cleantech innovation and research related funding schemes
are listed below. Additional information on schemes and initiatives can be found on the
NEA website (http://www.nea.gov.sg/grants-awards).

4.1 Fast-Track Environmental and Water Technologies Incubator Scheme

(Fast-Tech)
Initiated by the Environmental and Water Industry Programme Office (EWI), the
Fast-Tech is an incubation grant scheme that provides mentoring and financial
support to environmental and water start-ups.

5. Potential in Singapore’s Cleantech Sector

Being the leading clean energy hub in the region, Singapore is a key location for major

energy companies who are expanding their businesses into the Asian market. Major

solar companies such as Phoenix Solar and Trina Solar and wind technology companies

such as Vestas have established presences in Singapore.

5.1 Cleantech Hub

With many countries starting to plan their economic growth within a carbon-

constrained environment, cleantech becomes a great potential for Singapore and

the Asia region. With developing countries in the Asia region not having full

access to grid electricity, Singapore-based companies are well located to develop

off-grid clean energy solutions for these markets. According to The Business

Times report in October 2015, the US Energy Information Administration noted

that Asia's energy demand is expected to more than double by 2035 considering

that China recently raised its solar deployment ambitions to 150 GW by 2020 and

India has announced a target to install 100 GW of solar power by 2022.

The manufacture of cleantech involving solar wafers and cells is similar to the

manufacturing process of semiconductor and Singapore being a semiconductor

hub has the capabilities in equipment manufacturing, precision engineering and

chemical industries.

This increase in cleantech demand in the region is not only in terms of the

technology itself but also includes financing models and business operating

9
structures which Singapore’s sophisticated logistics capabilities and extensive

linkage to the region can develop as a Cleantech Hub.

5.2 Being a ‘Living Laboratory’

Being a small country, Singapore had to develop its own capabilities through

research and development and for the past 50 years, the public sector have been

partnering local and global companies to position Singapore as a ‘Living

Laboratory’ by offering its national urban infrastructure as a testing ground. As

such, the Singapore government has been able to garner the best technologies

and act as a hub for the Asia region. The Economic Development Board (EDB)

has listed a few examples on their website on how Singapore has managed to

develop the role of a Living Laboratory. Some of these examples are:

- Panasonic has been able to use Punggol Eco-Town in Singapore to test and

commercialise its ‘Total Energy Solution’, involving the system integration of

several clean energy components such as solar systems, lithium-ion

batteries, home energy management systems and energy-efficient air

conditioning. Punggol Eco-Town is a greenfield public housing area which will

eventually house 300,000 residents.

- GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), meanwhile, is collaborating with Singapore to

pioneer its S$550 million ‘Factory of the Future’ initiative, which seeks to

reduce the company’s carbon footprint through the adoption of sustainable

processes and green technologies. Once completed, the model of its

Singapore factory will be replicated by GSK globally.

10
- Keppel Seghers’ 1MW (megawatt) PV system, set up on a waste water

treatment plant in Singapore. This is the country’s first commercial-scale PV

system to supply solar energy for water treatment.

The concept of Living Laboratory has been further developed by Singapore’s

industrial developer, Jurong Town Corporation, with a S$90 million eco-business

park called CleanTech Park which will house both local and international

cleantech companies and enable knowledge sharing and partnership with the

adjacent Nanyang Technological University.

The above examples have illustrated how Singapore has developed its

capabilities through innovation and partnership.

5.3 Financing

Leveraging on Singapore’s capability as a Financial Hub, Singapore is well

placed to develop new energy project-financing capabilities and attract various

financial institutions’ renewable energy desks and project bonds. Due to the high

upfront costs in cleantech, there are many innovative financing and business

models that are still being piloted and Singapore’s AAA sovereign ratings, strong

economic fundamentals and stable political scene makes Singapore an ideal

location for cleantech project development and financing.

5.4 Solar Energy Technology

As Singapore is located near the equator, it receives about 50 per cent more

radiation than temperate regions and enjoys an average annual solar irradiance

11
 of 1,150 kWh/m2/year according to the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of

Singapore. The EMA oversees the Singapore’s energy sector by supporting the

private companies in new technologies. According to EMA, solar energy remains

the most promising renewable energy source for Singapore when it comes to

electricity generation8. In addition, Singapore’s potential in solar energy research

and capabilities has been further optimized with the nation’s existing expertise in

semiconductor and precision engineering9. Channel News Asia reported in

November last year that the majority of electricity consumed in Singapore

presently is from burning non-renewable fossil fuels and less than 1 per cent of it

is contributed by solar energy. The aim is to raise this to up to 20 per cent by

2050, said to the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS). The

report quoted Dr Thomas Reindl, Deputy CEO of Seris, “Solar energy is the only

source and option of renewable energy for Singapore. Other forms like

hydroelectric power, wind turbines and geothermal energy are not feasible

because the country lacks the space and natural infrastructure like a major river

system. Shifting from conventional power generation to a renewable-based

energy system will have various advantages like cutting down on carbon dioxide

emissions.”

In 2015, an increase in the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has been

noted in Singapore. In December 2015, Singapore Housing Development Board

12
 (HDB) announced that solar panels would be installed on 831 HDB buildings and

on 8 other ministries’ sites, making this the largest solar panel installation project

in Singapore10.

5.5 Biofuel Technology

Southeast Asia, a huge producer of agriculture and wood that produces a large

amount of biomass, is becoming an attractive market to develop these biomass

residues as an alternative energy source. Such biomass from crop residues,

municipal solid waste and forest residues such as wood is available in

abundance and investors are beginning to recognise the potential to harness this

source for energy11 according to a report by Eco-Business in October 2013. The

report further quoted Jerome Le Borgne, Southeast Asia, Africa and Pacific Sales

Director, DP Cleantech, “Asia is home to one-third of the world’s attainable

biomass, a lot of resources, particularly residues from forests, wood processing

and agriculture, are available but not being used, with the exception of the

feedstock generated by the palm oil and sugar industries. There is an urgent

need to utilize these wastes for commercial electricity and heat production to

reduce the reliance on conventional energy sources, and to cater to the needs of

the industries as well as urban and rural communities.”

13
With Singapore’s strong background and expertise in the process and chemical

industry, the potential for Biofuel Technology in Singapore is endless. A pioneer

in providing biofuel in Singapore is Biofuel Research, which converts waste

cooking oil to biodiesel. Another Singapore firm, Alpha Biofuels, takes cooking oil

and runs it in school buses (amongst other diesel engine vehicles). In addition,

international companies such as Finnish firm, Neste Oil, have also set their

footprint in Singapore. Neste Oil has set up its biofuel production facility using

renewable feedstocks in Singapore since 2011.

According to National Climate Change Secretariat, the Singapore government

has carrying out a study of materials like palm oil and sugarcane as feedstock for

Jurong Island plants to produce plastics, chemicals and other industrial polymers.
