Would emission intensity be a factor in the assessment? For example, if a facility integrates renewable energy measures but still has an overall emission intensity below the threshold in Table 11, would the project be eligible for green labelling? Under bioenergy feedstock, agriculture feedstock is used as one of the examples, however, food-based/ food-waste feedstock is generally not considered sustainable. Does the SAT have any views or consider having exclusionary criteria for agricultural feedstock? For the activity “Electricity from hydropower,” does the scale of the hydropower project (large vs. small, we observe 25MW often being referenced as capacity threshold) matter? Referencing TSC 1.14 Production of heat or cool from waste heat: Is “ISIC 3530 Steam and air conditioning supply” used for both Activity 1.13 District heating and cooling systems and 1.14. Production of heat or cool from waste heat? Referencing TSC 1.14 Production of heat or cool from waste heat: Is Activity description 1.14 the same as Activity 1.13. District heating and cooling systems? Referencing TSC 1.12 Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels, Green Criteria include “The activity meets the following criteria: CCS is eligible as a lever for the activity to meet the green thresholds as defined in Table 1”; Amber Criteria include “New or retrofit of existing facilities to meet Amber threshold”. Which Amber threshold does it refer to? Does it refer to Table 1 Amber thresholds for electricity generation activities? Referencing TSC 1.12 Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels, Green Criteria include “The activity meets the following criteria: CCS is eligible as a lever for the activity to meet the green thresholds as defined in Table 1”; Amber Criteria include “New or retrofit of existing facilities to meet Amber threshold”. Given that CCS is commonly adopted in Singapore, is it compulsory to meet the criteria for CCS? What if the power plant meets the green thresholds without using CCS? Referencing TSC 1.12 Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels, Green Criteria include “The activity meets the following criteria: CCS is eligible as a lever for the activity to meet the green thresholds as defined in Table 1”; Amber Criteria include “New or retrofit of existing facilities to meet Amber threshold”. Does ‘The activity meets the following criteria’ mean that it needs to meet all of the following criteria or just one of the following criteria? Referencing TSC 1.7 Transmission and distribution of electricity. Green Criteria include “All enabling ICT systems and smart management systems, and those required for procurement of electricity that meet the green thresholds are eligible”. Could you clarify the Methodology note – “… electricity grid network under consideration.” Referencing to TSC 1.7 Transmission and distribution of electricity – How should financial institutions assess this activity? Some information required may not be possible to furnish by the party being financed, e.g., lifecycle intensity of other plants, grid decarbonisation trajectory, etc. For existing CAPEX financing that are previously labelled Amber under “Amber (measures)” [B], how would they be reclassified when the activity itself is reassessed and meets Amber or Green threshold (A)? There are various sections under Amber (measures) that include the statement “And, all measures must meet the following criteria: the power cannot be generated from renewable energy sources, based on comparative assessment….” Referencing TSC 1.3 Electricity generation from hydropower, Green Criteria include “All pumped storage systems for hydropower plants that comply with EITHER of the criteria are eligible”. If the customer’s electricity generation project sourced from a combination of hydropower and fossil gaseous fuels, fall under Activity 1.3 Electricity generation from hydropower or Activity 1.12. Electricity generation from fossil gaseous fuels?
