• Sungei Kadut Eco-District • Seletar Aerospace Park Catalysing Industrial Transformation for sustainability Mr. Calvin Chung Group Director/ Chief Environmental Officer 25 May 2021 1. National Challenges and Sustainability Targets 2 Carbon – the New Constraint for Singapore ▪ Singapore is no stranger to constraints: land scarce, lack of water. Carbon would be a new addition to the list ▪ Like Our Water Story – Singapore is embarking on another journey to address the carbon constraint Singapore carbon emission projection (Climate Action Tracker) ▪ Singapore has signed Paris Agreement and committed to 36% reduction in emission intensity below 2005 by 2030 ▪ Singapore national targets: peak emission of 65 million tons of CO2e by 2030 and to be halved by 2050 ▪ A carbon tax for industrial facilities at $5 SGD/tCo2e was implemented in 2019, to be reviewed in 2023 ▪ A 2GW target by 2030 for solar energy was unveiled Peak by 2030, in SIEW 2019 halved by 2050 4oC+ Critically Insufficient <3oC Insufficient <1.5oC Paris Agreement <4oC Highly Insufficient <2oC Compatible <<1.5oC Role Model 3 Strong National Drive Towards Sustainability – SG Green Plan 2030 • SG Green Plan - An overarching sustainability vision for Singapore, a whole-of-nation action plan to realise the vision, and a relatable communication with the public to inspire action • JTC’s ongoing sustainability effort has already been contributing to the SG Green Plan pillars.

JTC Ongoing Sustainability Efforts for the Industrial Sector 5 JTC’s Sustainability Framework and Initiatives JTC’s Sustainability Vision and Targets JTC’ Sustainability Vision Targets of Sustainability Efforts JTC strives to adopt environmental Create new sustainability as a core principle, value business pillar and strategic opportunities differentiator in our industrial estate development and operation with the aim to: ➢ Mitigate carbon as a business constraint and JTC promote circular economy to address resource Sustainability scarcity; Prepare the Targets Achieve the economy to be national ➢ Catalyse the transformation of the industry to be future-ready carbon targets more eco-conscious and future ready; ➢ Tackle the challenges and seize opportunity to increase corporate credibility and acceptance by Build new the nations, businesses and customers capabilities 6 JTC Sustainability Targets Total Value-chain Carbon Abatement in Target Setting (converging timeline 2030) Summary of Proposed Targets 30-30-3 Design & ConstructionDesign & ConstructionOperations & OperationsMaintenance & MaintenanceCustomer Engagement Real Estate Life Cycle Development Carbon Operational Carbon Industry’s Carbon Total Carbon Reduce development carbon Reduce operational carbon Reduce average carbon of new construction projects intensity emission intensity of the industry Achieve total CO2 abatement target Development Carbon Industry’s Carbon Tenants’ and lessees’ economic activity JTC Solar Program Form collaborative partnerships to achieve national carbon targets ➢ Launched Solar Land & Solar Roof programme in ➢ Contribute to national target on solar generation collaboration with our customers since 2018 (2GWp) and carbon emission (peak by 2030) ➢ Install solar panel on JTC property roof space and vacant ➢ Aggregate customer roof tops for solar generation and industrial land for solar generation aggregate SME demand for economies of scale ➢ Working with solar vendors to continue innovation and ▪ 100 MWp of generation capacity will be attained across advance solar deployment JTC’s intermittent/vacant land. ▪ Terrenus Energy: development of vertical wind turbines ▪ 147 MWp of generation will be attained on lessees’ roofs around existing solar farm, usage of mobile substations that allows for quick relocation and crop farming under PV panels ▪ 16 MWp of generation capacity will been attained on the ▪ Sembcorp: test bedding underground rainwater harvesting roof of JTC properties. A further 4 MWp will be added in tank below solar panels subsequent projects. SolarLand @ Jurong Island Seraya Place SolarRoof @ Jurong Town Hall SolarRoof@ Tuas South 8 Jurong Island Renewables Open Call Creates new business opportunities, build new capabilities and prepare economy for the future ▪ Explore possible locations to ▪ SGMS will be piloted on JI ▪ JTC and EMA will co-fund solarise, e.g. dead-sea spaces, allowing digitalised energy innovative renewables and low tank roof tops, piperacks, and management carbon technologies, e.g. solar even along roadsides ▪ Infrastructure renewal and deployment on tanks, piperacks ▪ Lessees will offer space and replacement is required to and tidal generation indicate interest in tapping on “smarten” the grid ▪ Lessees will indicate Interest JTC’s rates for the RFP ▪ Establish virtual energy trading partnering with potential platform for lessees to buy/sell solution providers energy 9 Jurong Island Circular Economy Study Create new business opportunity & propel resource circularity for low carbon future New business opportunities generated Carry out a comprehensive survey on the current state of Jurong Island in terms of 4 key resources: ➢ Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) Foster a CCU test hub for companies and IHL to test and Energy Water Emission Toxic Waste research on the capabilities of CCU technologies ➢ Centralized water facility Conduct Material Flow Analysis to identify intervention Invest in district level infra for closed loop cooling, reusing of “Hotspots” - areas for change that makes a meaningful trade effluent, Zero Liquid Discharge technology, impact and improves circularity performance ➢ Cold energy facilities Invest in common infrastructure to harness cold energy for Potential Outcomes cross industry use and process cooling Promote material circularity, optimise resource ➢ Waste to resources utilization, leading to business and environmental Create new opportunities through 1-on-1 collaboration as well gains for companies as aggregation of demand exchange Some of the Participating Agencies and Companies: Direct 1 to 1 Multi-company Closing loops by exchange of exchange of filling gaps. e.g. bring Resources Resources in new Entrees 10 Greenery and Biodiversity Create more green spaces and enhance biodiversity to build more conducive industrial estates Tree planting @ Jurong Island ▪ Over 17,000 trees planted at Jurong Island Jurong Eco-Garden at CleanTech Park @ Jurong Innovation District ▪ 53 new species, out of which 37 are native tree species to ▪ Plan with local context and augment improve the habitats for native existing natural assets biodiversity ▪ Digital planning based on virtual site analysis on hydrology, greenery topography Tree planting @ Seletar Aerospace Park ▪ Partnered with companies for tree planting a Seletar Aerospace Park (SAP) ▪ Lessees can contribute Refurbishment of The Oval @ Seletar Aerospace Park physically or monetarily ▪ The refurbishment of the Oval in ▪ Pledged money is used for tree- Seletar Aerospace Park (SAP), an planting in their estates airplane-theme park for exercise, leisure and dining Coral Reef Garden @ Sister Island ▪ Allow natural growth of ▪ Led the construction of underwater ecosystem and biodiversity structure to restore natural reef within the estate habitats ▪ Reached out the industrial community to encourage corporate ownership on Singapore’s natural biodiversity heritage 3. Bring Companies along in Sustainability Transformation 12 Challenges for the industrial sector Industrial processes use large Different expertise, baseline amounts of resources (energy required for different and water) for economic industries activities High demand for industrial Tenant/lessee data not readily experts expected in the near available future Tenants’ opportunities towards Lack of sustainability sustainability is decentralized, expertise worldwide on e.g. obtaining ISO certification/ designing KPI for companies’ energy audits / green building processes certification New Initiative: Launch greenDIP Catalysing Decarbonisation Transformation of the Industry ▪ Promote 20% of JTC customers to Industry’s Industry participate in greenDIP and other JTC- Transformation sustainability
