Senoko Energy and Malaysia’s Petronas’ renewable arm, Gentari, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore the feasibility of importing hydrogen gas from Malaysia to Singapore.
Senoko Energy plans to integrate hydrogen gas into its combined cycle gas turbine assets. By doing so, they aim to enhance the efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of their operations. This initiative is a step towards supporting Singapore’s vision of a low-carbon future.
In the first phase of this collaboration, Senoko and Gentari aim to cut carbon emissions by 18,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually. This is comparable to removing around 4,000 cars from the roads. Further phases might escalate this reduction to as much as 535,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, equating to taking roughly 119,000 cars off the road.
Under this partnership, Gentari will provide hydrogen gas through a 20-year supply agreement scheduled to start by 2029. This long-term arrangement underlines both companies’ dedication to sustainable energy solutions and carbon reduction.
Senoko and Gentari are also investigating other hydrogen-related opportunities, particularly concerning green hydrogen to meet Singapore’s future demand for hydrogen energy. Gentari is actively involved in feasibility studies on green hydrogen with Tenaga Nasional and developing a hydrogen production hub in Sarawak with the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation.
