Shrinking its carbon footprint

THE island republic is leaving no stone unturned in its bid to shrink its carbon footprint, which includes looking into the possibility of deploying nuclear energy here, as well as importing clean energy, chief climate negotiator Joseph Teo said.

“One of the projects that’s being worked on now is building a pipeline from Australia to Singapore, so we can import green electricity from Australia,” Teo said, during a panel discussion on climate change organised by the National University of Singapore (NUS).
