44 SIMPLY SMARTERTHE ENVIRONMENTMAKING OUR BUSINESS GREENST Engineering continues on ourgreen journey, working on reducingour energy consumption and carbonfootprint. All sectors are ISO 14001certified, and we have completed aproject with an external consultantto implement our Carbon Footprintinitiative in accordance with ISO14064:2006 (Standard for GreenhouseGases) for the Group’s companies inSingapore. Our next goal is to do thesame for our overseas companies,targeting to do so in 2012.As part of our ISO 14064 process,we conducted a workshop to helpemployees better understand theimportance of carbon reduction, wherewe discussed carbon identification andscoping, carbon footprint measurementsand computations, and identification ofcarbon abatement levers.The various business sectors continueto work on reducing their electricityconsumption. All business sectorsare at different stages of replacing thelighting and water chillers at their plantswith more efficient alternatives. Forexample, ST Aerospace is replacingtheir air compressor and ST Electronicsis upgrading their air compressorin its Ang Mo Kio facility and theCooling Tower system in its JurongEast facility. Since installing electricalpower controllers at some facilities,ST Synthesis and ST Kinetics haveachieved cost savings of 20% and arenow exploring installing them at morefacilities. Separately, ST Synthesisinstalled smart electrical meters tomeasure the consumption profile of thefacilities it manages for more precisemonitoring and better management ofpower consumption. ST Aerospace,ST Electronics and ST Kinetics are inthe process of following suit.One of the two upgraded CNC Underwater PlasmaCutting Machines installed in Benoi Yard.In the Marine sector, we have replacedacetylene gas with environmentallyfriendlyCNG in plate cutting operations,yielding savings of about $370,000 peryear. In addition, progressive conversionof existing lighting on ST Marine’spremises to Prismalence boosters andupgrading of plasma cutting machineshas resulted in power savings of over75% and 60% respectively. For theplasma cutting machines upgrade,we received a grant from Singapore’sNational Environment Agency (NEA).ST Marine also utilises NEWater in itsship ballasting process, resulting insavings of over $80,000 a year, andis in the process of implementing WetAbrasive Blasting on some vesselsdocked for shiprepair, a method whichis less pollutive. In an ongoing effortto greening its facilities, ST Kineticsplanted another 2,100 trees and shrubsduring the year.The Group has appointed an “EnergyEfficiency Manager” in each sector.After undergoing training andcertification by NEA, these managerswill lead the various energy efficiencyinitiatives in their respective sectors.We recognise that the quest for CarbonReduction is not a one-off exercisebut a continuous activity. Our greeninvestments will take into accounttechnological maturity and commercialviability at any given point in time,and re-investments may occur whenmore energy efficient systems becomeavailable. As a Group, we are in themidst of planning our carbon reductionjourney and setting targets up to 2020.We are committed to engaging ouremployees in environmental efforts.In line with this objective, we organiseda mass event during the year, planting950 trees at Punggol Promenade on29 October.One of 950 trees planted during our Tree-Planting Day.MAKING GREEN OUR BUSINESSIn addition to reducing our owncarbon footprint, the Group is helpingcustomers around the world tomanage their operations in a moreenvironmentally-friendly manner. Forexample, the Land Systems sector,through its wholly owned subsidiaryin Canada, Kinetics Drive Solutions,partnered Cargotec to introduce theworld’s first production-ready hydraulicdrive hybrid terminal tractor.In Asia Pacific, our electric and hybridelectric drivetrain components arewinning business in Korea, Singaporeand Taiwan. We also made ourpresence felt in the area of green publictransportation. In China, our subsidiary,Kinetics Systems Shanghai, is growing
SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES ENGINEERING LTD Annual Report 201145The Group is involved in a number of projects in Tianjin Eco-City.its long-standing collaboration withbus OEMs to provide electric andhybrid electric buses in GuangzhouKnowledge City, Qingdao and TianjinEco-City. Our other sectors have beenactive in Tianjin as well. On 8 July,ST Electronics was awarded a contractby Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-CityInvestment & Development Co., Ltdto supply an integrated renewableenergy system for Tianjin GEMS WorldAcademy. The company will implementsolar heating and geothermal energywhich will provide heating, while miniwind turbines and solar photovoltaicpanels will generate electricity withinthe school. In addition, the energymanagement system and interactiveenergy wall display designed byST Electronics will integrate therenewable energy harvested andeducate students about energyconservation.At the same time, we signed an MOUto participate in the Low Carbon LivingLab (LCLL) within the Eco-BusinessPark in Tianjin. This building will be aplatinum-rated office building underthe Tianjin Eco-City’s Green BuildingEvaluation Standards. The first of itskind, the LCLL is positioned as a ‘LivingLab’ test-bed and to demonstrategreen building features and buildingtechnologies in energy saving, carbonfootprint reduction and other areas.Completion is expected to be in 2013.In June, ST Marine’s environmentalengineering arm, STSE, set up abranch office in Tianjin to executeand manage the RMB113m contractsigned in September 2010 for theprovision of a proprietary loop-basedPneumatic Waste Collection Systemto collect recyclables, non-recyclablesand food waste in Tianjin Eco-City’sEco-Business Park. The team hascompleted laying the piping system.STSE has also been busy with projectssecured elsewhere in the region overthe last four years. These includeinstallation and testing of the equipmentfor the Waste Transfer Station inDonghu Newtech Zone in China’sWuhan, Hubei, and partial operationof the Integrated Waste ManagementFacility in Sungai Paku, Brunei. Whencompleted in 2012, the 110-hectareEngineered Landfill at Sungai Paku willbe one of the largest in Asia.ST Electronics, together withAccenture, is in the process ofdelivering Phase 1 of the IntelligentEnergy System (IES) pilot project forthe Energy Market Authority (EMA).This pilot will be conducted intwo phases. Phase 1 will focuson implementing the enablinginfrastructure for the IES. Theseinclude key infrastructure components;advanced metering infrastructure(commonly referred to as smart meters)and its communication system. Thisintegrated smart grid will provideconsumers with more information,choice and control over their electricityusage, thereby improving energyefficiency for Singapore.
