Bluefield Renewable Energy, in collaboration with SembWaste, plans to generate over 330,000 carbon removal credits through biochar production using waste as a resource, supporting Singapore’s decarbonisation and waste management efforts.
Bluefield employs advanced proprietary pyrolysis technology to convert waste into biochar—a stable, carbon-rich material that prevents carbon from re-entering the atmosphere. Biochar serves multiple applications, including construction and green buildings, gardens and landscaping, agriculture and food production. By shifting from waste incineration to biochar production, Bluefield will contribute to Singapore’s circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources in a resource-scarce country.
From the 700,000 tonnes of suitable waste available in Singapore, Bluefield’s biochar production has the potential to generate over 330,000 carbon removal credits. This equates to the carbon absorbed by over 16 million mature trees annually or offsetting emissions from more than 180,000 four-room HDB households.
“Bluefield Renewable Energy is committed to creating carbon removal credits as a cornerstone of Singapore’s sustainable future,” said Randy Toh, Vice President of Bluefield Renewable Energy, adding, “By transforming waste into valuable resources and sequestering carbon through biochar, Singapore can position itself as a leading carbon sink city.”
