STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, and SP Group (SP), a leading utilities group in the Asia Pacific and Singapore’s national grid operator, have commenced operations for Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system at STMicroelectronics’ (ST) Ang Mo Kio TechnoPark.
The system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes per year and enable 20% savings on cooling-related electricity consumption. It will also repurpose over half a million cubic metres of water each year by using reject reverse osmosis water, previously used in ST Cooling Towers, to support the new district cooling operations.
Commenting on the development, Rajita D’Souza, President of Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility at STMicroelectronics, said, “The deployment of Singapore’s largest industrial district cooling system at our Ang Mo Kio TechnoPark demonstrates our commitment to pioneering energy-efficient solutions that reduce carbon emissions and conserve resources. This achievement strengthens our partnership with Singapore in advancing its national sustainability goals. By integrating advanced technologies like the district cooling system, we are driving a smarter, more sustainable future – showcasing how industry leadership and environmental stewardship align to create lasting value for our business, communities, and the planet.”
