JTC sets aside $4m for decarbonisation solutions at Jurong Innovation District

The statutory board is seeking proposals to decrease the district's carbon footprint.

The JTC has set aside about $4m to support the co-innovation of new solutions to support the decarbonisation journey of tenants and lessees at the Jurong Innovation District (JID).

The $4m set aside is under JTC's Decarbonisation Living Lab @ JID Innovation Call.

JTC seeks to co-create solutions to help tenants and lessees reduce water and energy consumption, cut waste output, and decrease the district's carbon footprint.

"JID companies can participate in the innovation call by contributing a problem statement for solution providers to respond to. They can also work with a solution provider to solve a particular challenge in these areas," JTC said.

A multi-agency panel, which includes JTC and EnterpriseSG, will evaluate the proposals received from the innovation call.

JTC intends to award the projects by early 2025, followed by the commencement of the testbeds.

JTC said its innovation call allows them to "partner with customers who have firsthand knowledge of their sustainability challenges, thus increasing the likelihood of successful implementation, adoption and commercialisation of carbon-saving innovations at JID."

If the innovation call proves successful, JTC plans to replicate the model in other estates to reduce Scope 3 emissions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
