SATS and Sembcorp ink sustainable energy deal

Sembcorp will install and operate solar panels in several SATS premises.

Food solutions firm SATS has partnered with Sembcorp Industries to implement solar energy systems for its operations, according to a press release.

Under a memorandum of understanding, Sembcorp will install and operate rooftop solar panels with a combined capacity of approximately 7.8 megawatts atop SATS Airfreight Terminals 1 to 4, inflight catering centres and on the SATS Maintenance Workshop.

Both companies will use co-generation solar panels capable of harvesting both sunlight and heat for electricity and hot water. If successful, this technology will be expanded to all future SATS premises.

Through this project, SATS hopes to achieve 12.4% use of renewable energy, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.1m kilogrammes per year and 80% of its carbon footprint by 2030.

SATS and Sembcorp are also looking at regasifying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to power boilers in the former’s Changi inflight catering centres. In addition, Sembcorp will also provide water waste treatment systems.
