Media Release SP GROUP SETS UP FIRST ZERO-EMISSION BUILDING POWERED BY GREEN HYDROGEN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Singapore, 30 October 2019 – SP Group (SP) has established the first zero-emission building in Southeast Asia that is powered by green hydrogen. Located at SP’s training centre at Woodleigh Park, the self-sustaining building is 100% powered with renewable energy via an innovative Hydrogen Energy System and is disconnected from the national electricity grid. Mr Brandon Chia, Head, Centre of Excellence, SP Group said: “Buildings contribute 40 per cent of energy related carbon emissions worldwide 1 . The Hydrogen Energy System provides a safe and compact way of storing green hydrogen which powers the region’s first zero-emission building. We believe this can be a significant contributor toward Singapore’s climate change pledge to cut national emissions intensity by 36 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.” The challenge to achieving zero emission The world in its fight against climate change is using various means to lower carbon emissions. One way is to use renewable energy sources. However, in urban places such as Singapore, due to limited land and inconsistent solar energy, achieving zero emission with 100% renewable energy is extremely challenging. Zero-emission solution An alternative is hydrogen as a green energy source. In the Hydrogen Energy System used by SP, electricity from green sources, such as solar, is used to conduct electrolysis. The hydrogen generated from this process is bonded with special metal alloy powders to form metal hydride, compacted and stored in tanks. When electricity supply is required, the stored hydrogen from the metal hydride tanks is slowly released and converted to electricity via fuel cells. As green energy sources are used for electrolysis, this entire process of converting hydrogen to electricity is 100 per cent green, with zero carbon emission. 1 The buildings and building construction sectors combined are responsible for nearly 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions (International Energy Agency). 1 Safe hydrogen storage While there have been other energy systems using hydrogen as a fuel, the key challenge of hydrogen lies in having a storage solution that is safe for deployment in highly-urbanised areas such as Singapore. The system uses special metal alloy as a storage medium to bond with hydrogen. This allows for the storage of a large volume of hydrogen at a much lower pressure over a long period of time without any deterioration. When electricity is needed, the stored hydrogen is released in a slow and regulated manner, making it safer and more compact to be stored in an urban setting. Encourages greater mix of renewable energy The Hydrogen Energy System can mitigate electricity supply fluctuations and intermittency issues – common shortcomings of renewable energy. When there is surplus renewable energy, it can be stored in the form of hydrogen and converted back to electricity when there is a deficit of renewable energy. This ensures that the grid remains stable even with a greater mix of renewable energy introduced, hence encouraging the use of green energy. SP is working with Marubeni Corporation and Tohoku University on the Hydrogen Energy System with special metal alloy storage tanks from Japan, and to customise and integrate it for use in Singapore. -Ends- 2 About SP Group SP Group is a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific.

News Release SP Group invests in first batch of agrivoltaics assets in China The 78MWp solar assets across four agricultural sites will integrate solar photovoltaics with 7.8 MWh battery energy storage systems to enhance grid stability and resilience. The project will generate 91.3 GWh of green electricity annually, amounting to an avoidance of more than 91,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, and other harmful gas emissions each year 6 June 2023, Singapore & China — SP Group (SP), a leading utilities group and sustainable energy solutions provider in Singapore and Asia Pacific, announced its investment in its first batch of agrivoltaic assets in Guangdong province, China. With a total installed capacity of 78 Megawatt-peak (MWp), the project will integrate solar photovoltaics (PV) with 7.8 Megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery energy storage systems across four existing agricultural sites in Dabu County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province. The solar-plus-storage model will improve the stability and resilience of the power grid with the capability to support periods of high electricity demand and tight electricity supply. When completed at the end of this year, the project is expected to contribute 91.3 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually to the power grid and help Meizhou avoid over 91,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The clean energy generated will help the region reduce usage of coal by close to 30,000 tonnes and reduce annual sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by more than 2,700 tonnes and 1,360 tonnes respectively. To optimise asset yield and performance, the project is enhanced with digital energy management solutions to manage the solar generation and will monitor the usage and storage of the solar power based on intelligent insights and data. Agrivoltaics involves the strategic co-location of agriculture activities with solar energy generation infrastructure. The dual-use of land will retain its agricultural production capability and meet net-zero targets. This novel system offers multiple benefits to local farmers, the community, and the environment. It removes the perceived conflict between solar development and prime agriculture land to drive solar expansion at-scale; offers rural farmers the opportunity to diversify their income source; has the potential to enhance crop 2 yield; and increases green energy supply towards China’s climate ambitions of achieving peak carbon use by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Mr Michael Zhong, Managing Director, China, SP Group said: "The symbiosis of solar photovoltaic systems and the agricultural sector offers great potential for us to support China’s clean energy transition and to uplift local communities.
