Ms He Ting Ru asked how much of Singapore’s carbon emissions come from Jurong Island industries and what abatement targets are set for them.
Minister Gan Kim Yong stated that about one-third of Singapore’s carbon emissions are direct emissions from the refining and petrochemicals sector, which dominates industrial emissions from Jurong Island.
The Sustainable Jurong Island report targets over six million tonnes per year of carbon abatement by 2050 through low-carbon solutions and aims to quadruple sustainable product output from 2019 levels.
Global companies on Jurong Island have set mid-century net-zero climate targets, and the government collaborates with them on low-carbon transitions, such as supporting CO2-to-chemicals technologies.

He Ting Ru

Ms He Ting Ru asked the Minister for Trade and Industry (a) how much of Singapore’s total carbon emissions are attributable to industries situated in Jurong Island; and (b) what are the targets for the abatement of emissions from these industries.

Gan Kim Yong

Around one-third of carbon emissions are direct emissions from the refining and petrochemicals sector which accounts for the majority of industrial emissions from Jurong Island.

The Sustainable Jurong Island report outlines our plans to transform Jurong Island into a Sustainable Energy and Chemicals Park and includes 2050 targets to achieve more than six million tonnes per annum of carbon abatement through the adoption of low-carbon solutions and to increase the output of sustainable products by four times from 2019 levels.

Global companies in the refining and petrochemicals sector have also set climate targets to achieve net-zero by mid-century. Many of them have significant operations on Jurong Island. The Government is working closely with such companies on transiting to a low-carbon future. For example, EDB is supporting Sumitomo Chemical in exploring technologies to convert captured CO2 to chemicals.
