When it comes to the environment and green energy, Sembcorp walks the talk. We committed S$193 million to develop a biomass power plant in Teesside, UK, which started operations in September 2007.
One of the UK's largest renewable power projects, the Sembcorp Biomass Power Station will use 300,000 tonnes of sustainable wood a year to generate 30 megawatts of electricity - enough to power 30,000 households. Compared with a conventional power station, the plant will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 200,000 tonnes a year. This is equivalent to the greenhouse gas reduction achieved by taking 67,000 cars off the road. The plant is classed as carbon neutral, thereby enabling carbon allowances to be traded as carbon credits. This project is an example of our focus to provide our customers with innovative solutions, and underscores our long-term commitment to create a greener future for our businesses. |
