The Energy Market Authority (EMA) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) have shortlisted two consortia to proceed to the next round of proposal evaluations to provide a low or zero-carbon ammonia solution for power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island.
The two consortia leads that have been selected from a total of six are Keppel’s Infrastructure Division and Sembcorp-SLNG. The bunkering players include Itochu Corporation, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, and Sumitomo Corp.
These consortia will conduct engineering, safety, and emergency response studies for the proposed project. After selection, the leading developer will develop an ammonia solution that generates 55-65 MW of electricity from low or zero-carbon ammonia via a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine, as well as ammonia bunkering capacity of 100,000 mt/y. The lead developer will be announced in 1Q 2025, according to MPA’s press release.
As part of Singapore Green Plan 2030, the Singapore government announced the “Sustainable Jurong Island” initiative to transform Jurong Island into a sustainable Energy and Chemicals (E&C) Park (GM Oct. 28, 2022).
