Singapore has launched a Call for Expression of Interest to low and zero-carbon bunkering and power generation solutions.

The invitation comes are the recent launch of Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy and sees the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) asking interested parties to submit proposals under an Expression of Interest (EOI) to build, own and operate low or zero-carbon power generation and bunkering solutions in Jurong Island, Singapore.
The EOI is aimed at exploring the use of fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia for power generation and marine fuels.

Ammonia is a seen as currently one of the most technologically ready hydrogen carriers with an established international supply chain for industrial use.

Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive of MPA, said: “Close collaboration between the public and private sector is critical to accelerate decarbonisation in the maritime industry. MPA hopes to partner those who are committed to building up the global supply chain for low or zero-carbon fuels, including ammonia, with Singapore as a key bunkering hub.”

Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA, said: “Hydrogen and ammonia have the potential to be a needle-moving decarbonisation solution for the power sector.”
