Abstract
 Using Singapore as an illustrative example, this presentation intends to throw some lights on how a small country achieves sustainability and low carbon. The plan for Singapore to reduce its energy requirements from traditional sources to other sources such as solar energy and geothermal will be discussed. For the traditional sources, the use of gas is encouraged as it is more environmentally friendly as compared to oil. In addition, Singapore has already built an extensive network of submarine pipelines to facilitate gas supply from the neighboring countries.
The recent installation of solar panels in its network of reservoirs will help the development of solar energy. The use of geothermal energy is still in its planning stage and the authority aims to develop a geothermal intensity map to evaluate the potential of sourcing geothermal energy from deep underground. The storage of energy in deep underground and other possible energy sources are also briefly reviewed in this presentation.
