Singapore's Largest Industrial District Cooling System Cuts Emissions 120,000 Tonnes Annually

STMicroelectronics and SP Group have launched Singapore's largest industrial district cooling system at STMicroelectronics' Ang Mo Kio TechnoPark, which serves approximately 90,000 square meters of manufacturing and office space. The system is designed to reduce carbon emissions by up to 120,000 tonnes annually and cut cooling-related electricity consumption by about 20 percent, while reusing over 500,000 cubic meters of water each year through the repurposing of reverse osmosis-treated water from cooling towers. This district cooling system uses a centralized chilled water network replacing individual chillers, and features a "series counterflow" chiller configuration for energy efficiency, earning the Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification for exceptional sustainability. The project supports STMicroelectronics' goal to become carbon neutral by 2027 and exemplifies joint industrial efforts to enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Singapore. Additionally, SP Group is partnering with ST on another high-efficiency cooling system at Toa Payoh under a long-term service agreement, furthering energy and emissions reductions. Singapore's Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry highlighted this system as a blueprint for future innovative district cooling deployments in the country.
