Bolloré Logistics said it is looking to cut over 11,500 tons in CO2 emissions with the solarisation of its first building – Green Hub in Singapore in partnership with Total Solar Distributed Generation.

Bolloré said Total Solar Distributed Generation has completed a solar rooftop for its Green Hub in Pioneer Turn, Singapore with a capacity of nearly 1MW. The system generates an estimated 1.3GWh of electricity per year.

Over the lifetime of the solar rooftop, Bolloré Logistics said it will avoid over 11,500 tons of CO2 emissions. With over 2,400 panels, the solar PV system is expected to cover 30% of the building’s power needs.

Adhering to the Paris Agreement, Bolloré Logistics is committed to reducing 43% of its greenhouse gas emissions by 2027, through its CSR Program ‘Powering Sustainable Logistics’.

“Global warming is altering how businesses run their operations. In Singapore, we have over 200,000sqm of warehouse space and 1,600 employees. It is vital for us to tap into sustainable energy to support our electricity consumption in the fight against climate change. Green Hub is our first building to be equipped with solar panels. With this milestone, we will continue our journey, in line with Singapore’s solar energy target 2030, towards a greener future,” said Frederic Marcerou, managing director of Bolloré Logistics Singapore.

“Total Solar DG is committed to helping its customers drive down their carbon footprint. We are proud to pursue Total’s long-term partnership with Bolloré Logistics by allowing the decarbonization of the company’s facilities,” said Gavin Adda, CEO of Total Solar Distributed Generation for Southeast Asia.
