Hydrogen does not emit CO2 during combustion and is considered a promising next-generation, low-carbon fuel that can be used in a range of applications including power generation, town gas and as an industrial feedstock. It can be liquefied by cooling it to below -253°C, and LH2 occupies significantly less volume than in its gaseous state, so it can be stored and transported more easily.
The parties will work collaboratively to explore both the technical and commercial aspects of developing an LH2 supply chain between Western Australia and Singapore, and potentially Japan, through collaboration using their respective expertise and knowledge.
This is an exciting development which supports the Singapore Green Plan, which charts ambitious and concrete targets over the next 10 years, strengthening Singapore’s commitments under the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and Paris Agreement, and positioning Singapore to achieve its long-term net zero emissions aspirations as soon as viable.
For piped town gas provider, City Energy, which is the national producer and retailer of town gas in Singapore, this collaboration may significantly support its carbon reduction effort in piped town gas production or combustion.
