Jurong is an industrial hub for Singaporean energy and chemicals
MHI, Jera and Singapore’s Jurong Port to explore ammonia-fired power generation
The firms have signed an MoU to develop a 100pc ammonia-fired power plant in effort to reduce emissions and stimulate demand for future ammonia bunkering
Singapore’s Jurong Port and subsidiaries of Japanese firms Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Jera have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly explore development of a 100pc ammonia-fired power plant. The three firms will also study wider commercialisation opportunities for ammonia bunkering and marine fuels. The partners plan to set up a 60MW combined-cycle gas turbine located on Jurong Island, a major industrial hub for Singapore’s chemicals and energy sectors. Singapore emitted 51.6mn t CO₂e in 2019—of which power and industry account for a combined 84.3pc—and aims to reach net zero by 2050. 84.3pc – Power and industry’s share of Singaporean emissions Ammonia is
