Singapore's $SEMBCORP INDUSTRIES LTD(U96.SI)$ solar farm is expected to produce about 22,025 MW hours of power annually, which is exported to Singapore's national power grid. This will help to avoid approximately 9,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, which is equivalent to planting almost 150,000 trees. Covering almost 10 hectares of temporary vacant land with over 33,500 solar panels installed, the new solar farm at Tuas industrial estate can power about 4,700 4-room Housing Board (HDB) flats a year.
The interest rate of the loan facility will be subject to a step-up margin if Sembcorp does not cut greenhouse gas emissions intensity to 0.40 tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt hour or less by end-2025, and achieve gross installed renewable energy capacity of 10 GW.
Sembcorp last reported emissions intensity of 0.51 tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt hour and gross installed renewable energy capacity of 2.75 GW in 2021.
With companies globally striving to cut down greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid paying carbon tax, how would sustainable investing look like a few years down the road?
