Temasek increases internal carbon price to US$50 per tonne of emissions

It will be increased to US$100 by 2030.

Temasek has increased its internal carbon price to US$50 per tonne of emission from US$42 to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The state-owned investment company said it also plans to increase the price progressively to US$100 by the end of 2030.

“Given the urgency, scale and breadth of the necessary transitions, governments, corporations and investors need to work together to define transition roadmaps as well as promote and drive adoption of new solutions,” Steve Howard, Temasek’s Chief Sustainability Officer, said.

Apart from increasing its internal carbon price, Temasek also accelerated its efforts to invest in climate-aligned opportunities over the year, like Ambercycle -- a circular economy company which uses novel molecular separation technologies to recycle textiles into virgin-grade polyester.

The company also increased its exposure in Solugen, a speciality chemicals manufacturing platform working to decarbonise the chemicals industry; and formed a joint venture with Nanofilm Technologies to provide nanotechnology capabilities and solutions that enable mass adoption of hydrogen fuel systems.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
