COP 27 Egypt: PLN shares its biomass co-firing implementation in coal power plants

Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Nov 8, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - One of PLN's efforts to accelerate decarbonization is to decrease the usage of fossil energy.

Biomass co-firing technology is inviting the community to be actively involved by planting biomass, or even by managing their regional household waste to be processed and converted into pellets for co-firing at CFPP - hence creating new value creation opportunity for the local community."Up until now PLN has produced 653 GWh of clean energy from biomass co-firing, which is equal to reducing 656 thousand tones CO2 emission," said Evy on Climate Change Summit (COP 27) at Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, S...

Mandatory treatment order for last man to be dealt with in SG Nasi Lemak chat group case

SINGAPORE - An administrator of the SG Nasi Lemak chat group, a platform on Telegram that hosted obscene photos and videos, was on Thursday (June 3) sentenced to mandatory treatment for a year. Leonard Teo Min Xuan, 27, had been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, and an Institute of Mental Health report said this contributed to his offences. Serving a mandatory treatment order means Teo will receive psychiatric treatment to address his mental issues in lieu of jail time. Teo was the last of four men to be sentenced over the chat group, which had 44,000 members at its peak. He had earlier pleaded guilty to transmitting obscene material via electronic means and possessing 427 obscene images. Another charge of possessing 99 obscene videos was taken into consideration for sentencing. The court heard that the four Singaporeans were arrested in October 2019 after a series of police reports were made between March and October that year. Two of them - Justin Lee Han Shi, then 20, and an 18-year-old youth - were placed on probation. The teenager cannot be named under the Children and Young Persons Act. He was 17 at the time of the offence in October 2019. The third offender - Liong T...

Singaporean student who imported child sex doll in Australia sentenced to 11 months’ jail

SINGAPORE - A Singaporean student living in Australia who imported a child sex doll and possessed child abuse material has been sentenced to 11 months' jail. However, the 27-year-old, who was not identified, was immediately released on a two-year good behaviour bond. The Australian Border Force and Australian Federal Police said in a joint statement last Saturday (Feb 20) the judge had also ordered that the man be placed on the sex offenders' register. In 2019, the Singaporean was arrested after border officials intercepted a parcel from China containing the doll at a Perth air cargo depot on Christmas Eve. The doll was ordered online and was addressed to the man's residence in the Perth suburb of Beckenham. Around two weeks later, border investigators arrested the Singaporean following a search warrant for the address on the package. Warrant investigators seized a mobile phone, computer tower, laptop and hard drive belonging to the man. These devices were handed to the Australian Federal Police, which identified child abuse material in the tower, laptop and hard drive through a forensic digital investigation. In Australia, those who import child sex dolls can be imprisoned for up ...
