The CPA requires any facility emitting more than 25,000 tCO2e annually to pay S$5\/tCO2e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPA considers emissions from direct fuel combustion as well as from Industrial Processes and Product Uses (IPPU) such as the production of CO2 from steam methane reforming used in ammonia or hydrogen production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting the taxable emissions threshold at 25,000 tCO2e allows Singapore to target a relatively low number of the country\u2019s C&amp;I facilities while still addressing roughly 80% of its national GHG emissions. By addressing the majority of the nation\u2019s heavy polluters with an easy-to-understand tax, the CPA could prove to be a more effective policy measure than a highly complex carbon cap-and-trade mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tax to Increase<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The price per tonne of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) is set to go through steep price increases in the coming years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>S$25\/tCO2e in 2024<\/li><li>S$45\/tCO2e in 2026<\/li><li>and potentially between S$50-$80\/tCO2e by 2030<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2022 CPA update offers businesses time to assess, plan, and execute strategies to reduce their carbon emissions and thus lower their tax liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demonstrating Strong Intention for Social Good<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore\u2019s carbon price commitment showcases the nation\u2019s determination to decarbonise in a meaningful way. According to Singapore\u2019s National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS), the government will not receive additional revenue from this carbon price increase. Rather, the money will go towards supporting businesses and further efforts to promote decarbonisation \u2014 such as grants and tax incentives for ESG reporting \u2014 as the country advances its transition away from carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the CPA will allow for 5% of a business\u2019s taxable emissions to be offset via certified international carbon credits. This gives businesses access to a wide range of options to mitigate their tax liability, yet the CPA still places overwhelming emphasis on reducing on-site emissions, which will compel businesses to reduce their actual carbon emissions and create a positive impact in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-3-1024x375.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-3-1024x375.png 1024w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-3-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-3-768x281.png 768w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-3-1536x562.png 1536w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-3.png 1640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating a Carbon Reduction Strategy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Decarbonising industry and the built environment is in the public\u2019s best interest and increasingly aligns with corporate agendas. Economists and business leaders alike have stressed the importance of expanding the price of carbon to accelerate global decarbonisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective decarbonisation requires a deeper understanding of baseline conditions and how to profitably transition away from fossil fuels. With many potential pathways in an ever-changing energy landscape, keeping up with current trends, technologies, and policies can be a daunting task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A corporate carbon reduction strategy is the best way to achieve your goals at the lowest cost. The following diagram shows what needs to be taken into account.&nbsp; A simplified approach is to be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Increase energy efficiency<\/li><li>Electrify as much as possible<\/li><li>Buy renewable energy<\/li><li>Offset the remaining carbon emissions<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Businesses can Decarbonise through Energy Efficiency<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no one-size-fits-all solutions to decarbonise the industry. There is however a universal principle that can be applied across all sites in which reducing energy waste means less energy use, fewer emissions and that businesses will save money at the same time. This is a \u2018no regrets\u2019 strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Electrification and Renewables Decarbonise Business<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond improving energy efficiency, plants can also undergo electrification to transition away from equipment and machinery that burn fuel on site. For instance, a natural gas water heater can be replaced with an electric heat pump, or a traditional furnace can be replaced with an electric one. In addition to helping transition away from burning fossil fuels, electrified equipment typically comes with fewer maintenance costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When purchased electricity is produced from clean, renewable sources with minimal carbon intensity, such as wind and solar power, the electrification process can significantly reduce a business\u2019 overall emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current studies suggest that electrification could transition roughly 50% of the fuel that global industry uses for energy to electric-powered operations. This includes processes requiring low-temperature heat (\u2264 100\u00b0C), such as food preparation, to industrial activities like steam reforming that require high-temperature heat up to 1,000\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining fuel in the industry is often natural gas. There is an increasing amount of renewable gas available in the network, for example between 40%-50% of Denmark and Germany\u2019s piped methane gas is from renewable sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-4-1024x375.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-4-1024x375.png 1024w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-4-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-4-768x281.png 768w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-4-1536x562.png 1536w, https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1000-\u00d7-600px-4.png 1640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certificates and Carbon Offsets<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Northmore Gordon will Guide You Through Profitable Decarbonisation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>As a full-service Consultant, Northmore Gordon has energy experts prepared to guide businesses through all phases of their decarbonisation journeys to ensure a successful and profitable transition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/services\/\">Northmore Gordon assists<\/a> with the design and implementation of a carbon reduction strategy, which includes but is not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/northmoregordon.com\/articles\/5-steps-to-create-your-carbon-reduction-strategy\/\">Develop the carbon strategy<\/a><\/li><li>Implement energy efficiency<\/li><li>Electrify fuel use<\/li><li>Create and competitively buy priced renewable energy and high-quality carbon offsets<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>We help businesses design and implement carbon reduction strategies and long-term roadmaps so that they can meet corporate goals and stay ahead of the changing landscape.
