1. The Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) had formulated a national strategy for Singapore’s sustainable development, including the following key goals :
Energy
– Greater efficiency and diversification reduce energy intensity (per dollar GDP) by 20% from 2005 level by 2020, and by 35% from 2005 levels by 2030.
Greenhouse gas emission
By 2020, Singapore’s Business-As-Usual* (BAU) emissions reach 77.2 million tonnes (MT) and to cut emissions by 7% to 11% below 2020 BAU levels.
Waste –
Towards zero landfill. recycling rate from 56% in 2008 to 65% in 2020 and 70% in 2030
Latest on Environmental & Safety Issues
Water –
Towards self-sufficiency and greater efficiency reduce total domestic water consumption from 156 litres per capita per day in 2008 to 147 litres per capital per day by 2020, and 140 litres per capita per day by 2030.
Air Quality –
Cleaner air reduce the annual mean for ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from 16 µg/m3 in 2008 to 12 µg/m3 by 2020 and maintain it at this level till 2030. The ambient Sulphur dioxide (SO2) levels shall be capped at 15 µg/m3 by 2020 and maintain it at this level till 2030.
2. A national feasibility study ruled out Singapore’s use of nuclear power due to the safety concern continue to monitor new technologies and develop capabilities in technology and emergency response 3. Businesses are encouraged to adopt an energy management system certified to ISO 500001

Constraint and External Factor
1. Challenge to allow for the provision of wide buffers between industrial and residential land 2. The Singapore Civil Defence Force has issued a circular under the Fire Safety Act on requirements for safe transport of flammable materials, including hazardous industrial wastes on Singapore roads.
3. The NEA enforces environmental requirements by regular inspections and prosecuting offenders in court 4. Basel Convention on Jan 1996 for Internal storage, handling, use, transport, import, export and disposal of hazardous industrial waste
Legislation
1. The Energy Conservation Act 2012
,22 April 2013 (applicable to business consuming 54 tera-joules of energy per year) businesses are required to implement the following energy management practices: (a) (b) (c) To appoint an energy manager within 30 days of being registered monitor and report energy use and greenhouse gas emissions to NEA annually submit annual energy efficiency improvement plan to NEA An energy manager must holds a Singapore Certified Energy Manager (Professional Level) certificate issued by the Institution of Engineers, Singapore.
Legislation
2. The Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSHA)
requires the owner, occupier, employer and other stakeholders of a factory or workplace to take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety and health of workers and other people that are affected by the work being carried out. The WSHA also regulates the permissible exposure levels, control and disposal of any toxic or noxious materials, whether solid, liquid or vaporous from any factories or workplaces.
Policies
The Pollution Control Department (PCD) may require developers of special industries to carry out :
A Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
in order to identify and quantify hazards and risks related to the transport, use and storage of hazardous materials
An emergency response plan (ERP)
to mitigate all accident scenarios identified in the QRA study
A pollution control study
to assess all pollution impact on the environment and recommendation of measures to mitigate such impact.
Reasearch & Depelopment for Environment / Safety
The government had provided funding to support the steel industry in the development of Waste Heat Recovery System (Organic Rankin Cycle) for electricity generation. The government has set aside $680 million to build new capabilities in Clean Energy and Water Technologies and $20 million Solar Capability Scheme (SCS) to encourages innovative design and integration of solar panels into buildings.
Developing better practices focusing on working at height, material handling, positive energy isolation and ergonomics.
Waste minimization towards the target of zero discharge.
Reasearch & Depelopment by NatSteel
Using ladle slag as aggregates in precast concrete product and for reclamation use Monitoring of CO2 Emission and Abatement (MoniCA) Software (developed by Tata Steel R&D)

Thailand
General Information
• • Thailand steel demand was predicted to rise approximately 14.7 million ton in 2011, jump by 5% from 2010. It’s expected that consumption rate would be increased to nearly 20 million tons in 2015 In 2005, the Pollution Control Department developed the emission inventory of PCDDs/PCDFs in Thailand. The annual release from Ferrous and Non-ferrous metal production were found 19.776 g I-TEQ to air and to 98.77 g I-TEQ residue, which accounted for 7% and 12.99% of total release respectively.
External Factors

Policies
•
Trend in Waste Management and Recycling Regulations
The owner of factory type no. 106, recycling materials shops, has to obtain permission from Department of Industrial Works before transporting the reuse/recycle materials to iron & steel plants. • •
Promotion of Eco-Industrial Town
The Ministry of Industry has set the eco industrial projects as the main policy for the next few years. The projects introduced the waste exchange and waste utilization within and outside the industrial area.
Promotion of Sustainable Development for Thai Industry
This project might enforced the steel plant to use more environmental sound technology to prevent the environmental impact. Implemented tools using by Thai industry to support sustainable development in the enterprise are include Cleaner Technology (CT), EMS for SME, LCI/LCA, etc.
Measures on the Environmental Issues
• In 2010-2015, Thai government supported by JICA conducts the development of Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) project to develop the data system to identify the specific chemical released from sources Risk communication process to public to gain more trust from public in chemical management field of plants.
• Since 2003, Thai government agencies, leading by MTEC, has generated the National Lifecycle Inventory (LCI) for basic materials and energy to support steel industry in implementing the eco labeling program such as carbon footprint, water footprint
