In addition to Thailand’s large-scale hydrogen and ammonia supply chains, Jera has signed an initial agreement with Thai power producer Egco to collaborate on the development of an LNG supply chain.
Jera expects LNG demand in Thailand to grow further. Backup power from gas-fired power plants is likely to become more important as the country shifts to renewable outputs that are more dependent on weather conditions. Using hydrogen and ammonia as fuel will significantly support the country’s carbon-neutral approach.
A 50 percent stake in Tepdia Generating gives Jera a 12.5% stake in Egco. Both Kyushu Electric Power and Mitsubishi, a trading house in Japan, own 25% of Tepdia, which translates to about 6% of Egco.
