Google announced a new 10-year agreement with power company PacificLight and renewable energy developer RExus Bioenergy to build a wood-to-waste plant in Singapore, and provide clean energy to Google to power its data center and operations in the region. The deal marks the latest in a series of renewable energy announcements for Google in Asia, including the recent launch of a clean energy-focused partnership in Taiwan with BlackRock, and the company’s first renewable energy purchase deal in Japan in May. According to the companies, the new agreement will support Google’s target to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) by 2030. Operating on 24/7 CFE means matching electricity demand with CFE supply every hour of every day, in every region where the company operates. According to the Singapore Economic Development Board, Singapore depends almost exclusively on liquid natural gas (LNG), a highly potent greenhouse gas, for its energy. Singapore also has limited capability to deploy traditional renewable energy facilities, lacking land for substantial solar or wind deployment or rivers for hydroelectric power generation.
