Cogeneration and Trigeneration Technologies
Cogeneration and Trigeneration facilities simultaneously produce two or three utilities such as steam, chilled water and electricity. Thus, the energy efficiency of Cogeneration and Trigeneration systems is typically high, about 80 per cent. By developing such Combined Heat and Power facilities for our clients, we are able to help them reduce their annual emissions by more than 10 per cent and this effectively translates to smaller carbon footprint for them.
The Tuas Power Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex (TMUC) is an integration of innovation, efficiency and environmental sustainability. By innovatively pooling resources over several systems to eliminate duplication of services, housing various utility facilities within one complex, optimising systems and resources, and even recycling wastes, we are able to achieve high system efficiencies, minimise energy wastage, and provide cost-competitive utility services to our customers, all at the same time.
A value-added service known as the Tuas Power Green Programme was launched in 2007 to complement the existing Energy Efficiency Improvement Assistance (EASe) scheme, administered by National Environment Agency (NEA). It promotes environment sustainability by offering businesses in Singapore an attractive option to undergo detailed energy audits. These energy audits encourage businesses to improve the energy usage and efficiency of their facilities and help save the environment by reducing the amount of resources they use, thus contributing to long-term environmental sustainability.
Following the success of the Green Programme, Tuas Power launched a new programme known as the Lighting Solutions to help SME customers retrofit their conventional lighting systems with energy-saving ones. This enables them to cut their lighting consumption by 30 to 80 per cent, which translates to lower energy costs.

Currently, there are very few effective methods of industrial waste disposal. Hence, most of such wastes ends up being incinerated or dumped as land fill, resulting in wastage of resources. Through the groundbreaking technologies of Tuas Power subsidiary NewEarth, the Recycle and Reuse of industrial wastes is now made possible. The waste is first treated by NewEarth’s multi-stage Crystallisation Technology process before being converted into environmentally safe construction products such as bricks, paving blocks and synthetic aggregates.
