新加坡投资低碳能源研究以促进氢能行业增长

据世界天然气11月17日消息称，新加坡宣布，计划在2022年向低碳能源研究(LCER)投资1.29亿新元(近9400万美元)，以帮助安全、大规模地进口、处理和利用氢气。

文化、社区和青年部国务部长、贸易和工业部部长Low Yen Ling在2022年OSEA(离岸东南亚)开幕式上宣布了这一消息。

此外，LCER项目已经获得了5500万新元(约4000万美元)的投资。

全球对氢气行业的投资将迅速增长，持续的创新有望帮助新加坡能源行业保持竞争力。

据估计，超过1000家公司在新加坡从事海洋和海上工程(M&OE)，雇佣超过7.5万名工人，总产出119亿新元(86.4亿美元)。

今年夏天，新加坡吉宝(Keppel)达成了开发一个氢准备发电厂的最终投资决定(FID)，并将工程、采购和施工(EPC)合同授予三菱电力亚太和裕廊工程。

上个月，该国能源解决方案提供商胜科工业与日本政府和多家企业结成战略伙伴关系，以推进氢气和其他脱碳计划。

胜科当时表示，氢供应链将是所有合作伙伴关系的重点。

Singapore invests in low-carbon energy research to boost hydrogen growth

Singapore has revealed its plans to invest SGD 129 million (nearly $94 million) in low-carbon energy research (LCER) in 2022 to help import, handle and utilise hydrogen safely and at scale.

The announcement was made by Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry at the opening of OSEA (Offshore Southeast Asia) 2022.

The investment adds to SGD 55 million (around $40 million) already awarded to LCER projects.

Global investment in the hydrogen sector is set to grow rapidly, and continued innovation is expected to help Singapore’s energy sector maintain competitiveness.

It is estimated that over 1,000 companies work in marine and offshore engineering (M&OE) in Singapore, employing more than 75,000 workers, and generating SGD 11.9 billion ($8.64 billion) in total output.

This summer, Singapore’s Keppel reached a final investment decision (FID) to develop a hydrogen-ready power plant and awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific and Jurong Engineering.

Last month, the country’s energy solutions provider Sembcorp Industries formed strategic partnerships with the Japanese government and various corporations to progress hydrogen and other decarbonisation initiatives.

The hydrogen supply chain will be a prominent focus across all partnerships, Sembcorp said at the time.
