Singapore looks to build first-of-its-kind renewable energy farm in waters around Raffles Lighthouse

Singapore is planning to build a pioneering renewable energy farm in the waters surrounding Raffles Lighthouse. This ambitious project is part of Singapore's broader efforts to enhance its sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint. The renewable energy farm is expected to harness ocean-based renewable energy sources, such as tidal, wave, or offshore wind energy, potentially combined with solar panels floating on the water's surface.

The choice of location near Raffles Lighthouse, which is situated on the island of Pulau Satumu off the southern coast of Singapore, is strategic. The surrounding waters provide the necessary conditions for various renewable energy technologies to operate effectively. If successful, this project could serve as a model for other coastal cities and countries seeking to leverage marine environments for clean energy production.

This initiative aligns with Singapore's Green Plan 2030, which aims to significantly increase the adoption of renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, and make the city-state more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

Singapore Rushes to Clean Up Oil Spill After Dredger Collision  KUALA LUMPUR (AP) -- A dredger boat collision with a stationary cargo tanker has caused an oil spill that blackened parts of Singapore's southern coastline, including the popular resort island of Sentosa. The incident has raised concerns about potential threats to marine wildlife, prompting a clean-up operation on Sunday. The Netherlands-flagged dredger Vox Maxima collided with the Singaporean fuel supply ship Marine Honor on Friday, damaging the cargo tank on Marine Honor and causing an oil leak. Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority announced late Saturday that the oil leak had been contained and treated with dispersants. However, due to tidal currents, treated oil had reached shorelines, including Sentosa and other southern islands, a nature reserve, and a public beach park. Sentosa, a major tourist destination with a casino, golf courses, and Southeast Asia's only Universal Studios theme park, was affecte...
