SINGAPORE – Media
\nOutReach<\/a> – 16 February 2022 – Looking to save the environment while burning
\noff some calories? Senoko Energy’s<\/a>
\nvirtual cycling event, Cycle for Change 2022, will take place from 10 March to
\n22 April and will help you and your family and friends get your heart rate up,
\nhave some fun and reduce your carbon footprint!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cycle
\nfor Change is an extension of Senoko Energy’s #TakeCharge initiative, which is
\nthe energy provider’s ongoing commitment to reduce carbon emissions, support
\nrenewable energy sources, and encourage sustainable lifestyles across
\nhouseholds and corporates.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a company, we want to support and reward
\nthe efforts of households and corporations taking charge of everyday choices as
\npart of Senoko Energy’s journey towards slowing down the impact of climate
\nchange for future generations,” said Mr Graeme York, CEO of Senoko Energy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Promoting a Sustainable Cycling Lifestyle in
\nSingapore<\/b><\/p>\n

Singapore is pushing towards transforming the
\ncity state into a greener and more sustainable city by 2030. The city plans on
\ntripling cycling paths from 460km to 1,320km \u2013 encouraging citizens to consider
\ncycling as a mode of travel and to participate in green commutes. The COVID-19
\npandemic also has seen many purchasing bicycles and cycling more regularly.
\nSenoko Energy’s event gives Singaporeans further incentive to make changes to
\ntheir lifestyle and habits to help conserve energy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Acknowledging that the road to zero carbon
\nemissions is not easy, Mr Graeme York said this event helps demonstrate how the
\nconscious decisions of households and corporates making lifestyle and business
\nchanges can lead us on a path to significant emissions reduction.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Edwin Shen, Community Manager of Garmin Singapore<\/a>
\nexpresses in agreement, “Change can start small with our daily
\nhabits. As we return to offices after nearly two years
\nof working from home, Garmin Singapore hopes that people will keep the positive
\nlifestyle changes they have made since the start of the pandemic. Cycling fits
\nso nicely into our day-to-day commute and we believe that Cycle for Change will
\nhelp more people see that every pedal can go a long way.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Eliminating Carbon Emissions with Cycle for
\nChange<\/b><\/p>\n

Cycle for Change aims to
\nclock a total cycling distance of 1 million km. The completed distance will be
\nconverted into Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to support Singapore’s
\nsolar generation assets, eliminating 187,000kg of carbon emissions. In
\naddition, Senoko Energy and T-RECs.ai will pledge to offset an additional three
\ntimes more carbon emissions through the purchase of local RECs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Kang Jen Wee, CEO and Founder of T-RECs.ai
\nsaid: “T-RECs.ai is a licensed verifier for a globally recognised RECs registry
\nthat safeguards against fraud. T-RECs.ai verifies the authenticity of RECs
\ngeneration, which contributes towards the development of renewable energy
\nsources. We are pleased to be supporting Cycle for Change in partnership with
\nSenoko Energy, to raise awareness of using RECs to mitigate carbon
\nemissions.” <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Support
\nlocal eco-merchants and take part in challenges to win prizes<\/b><\/p>\n

Senoko Energy further sweetens the deal
\nfor participants by partnering with eco-merchants to offer up to 20% discounts
\nand weekly free beverages along the routes. By also participating in the 14
\nchallenges organised by Senoko Energy, riders can stand the chance to win
\nattractive prizes. One such challenge, the “Workweek Biker” involves
\nparticipants cycling to work or school every weekday.<\/p>\n

\nsmartwatches, as well as personalised RECs to celebrate winners’ rides, and
\nchallenge badges. To participate one simply has to register
