About Challenge

Decarbonisation Living Lab @ Jurong Innovation District Innovation Call (DECAL) - Open Category 

The Decarbonisation Living Lab @ JID Innovation Call is looking to solicit innovative deployment ideas (or projects) on resources optimisation to enhance the JID communities’ sustainability performance and competitiveness by improving resource efficiency (e.g. energy/water usage, reduce waste output and explore low carbon technologies) with the aim of decreasing the carbon footprint of JID as a whole, or leading to quantifiable resource gains.

ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS

According to the 2019 International Energy Agency (IEA) report, the building and construction sector accounted for 39% of world’s energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018. Locally in Singapore, where the lifespans of buildings tend to be shorter due to urban renewal, the breakdown of carbon emissions for buildings is typically 40 percent embodied carbon emissions versus 60 percent for carbon emissions due to building operations. This places a great importance on improving the energy efficiency of our buildings to reduce the overall carbon footprint of our Built Environment sector.

The Open category calls for startups, SMEs, IHLs and RIs to collaborate and submit proposals that co-develop and testbed your innovative solutions with JID tenants & lessees for energy efficient buildings.

What We Are Looking For

Possible solutions for this theme include but are not limited to:

i. Software based solutions (e.g. energy management solutions)

ii. Hardware based solutions (e.g. adoption of new-to-market equipment)

ZERO WASTE INDUSTRIES

In 2022, about 7.39 million tonnes of solid waste were generated and this is expected to increase to 11 million tonnes by 2035. The Semakau Landfill, Singapore's only landfill, is expected to reach its maximum capacity by 2035. The increase in waste coupled with low recycling rates point to the urgent need for collective action to address Singapore’s waste problem. A collective action will contribute towards Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan by reducing the waste generated by the Jurong Innovation District estate. 

The Open category calls for startups, SMEs, IHLs and RIs to collaborate and submit proposals that co-develop and testbed your innovative solutions with JID tenants & lessees for zero waste industries.

What We Are Looking For

Possible solutions for this theme include but are not limited to:

i. Innovative solutions to reduce waste generated

ii. Innovative ways to recycle or upcycle waste

SUSTAINABLE WATER USAGE

According to Public Utilities Board (PUB), water demand in Singapore is currently about 430 million gallons a day (mgd) that is enough to fill 782 Olympic-sized swimming pools, with homes consuming 45% and the non-domestic sector taking up the rest. By 2065, Singapore's total water demand could almost double, with the non-domestic sector accounting for about 60%. Through reduction and recycling efforts, we will be able to reduce the amount of water consumed within the estate.

The Open category calls for startups, SMEs, IHLs and RIs to collaborate and submit proposals that co-develop and testbed your innovative solutions with JID tenants & lessees for sustainable water usage. 

What We Are Looking For

Possible solutions for this theme include but are not limited to:

i. Innovative solutions to reduce water waste

ii. Innovative ways to recycle water
