Australia's Woodside Energy to Supply Liquid Hydrogen to Power Data Centres in Singapore
Key Ideas
- Woodside Energy will supply liquid hydrogen to Keppel BN4 in Singapore to power its data centres.
- The companies have signed a conditional offtake term sheet that outlines commercial principles for the supply.
- Keppel intends to incorporate the potential liquid hydrogen supply into its long-term lower carbon power portfolio.
- The supply agreement could lead to a binding offtake agreement as early as 2030.
Australia's Woodside Energy has announced a partnership with Singapore's Keppel BN4 to supply liquid hydrogen for powering the latter's data centres. The companies have agreed to a conditional offtake term sheet, laying out the commercial principles that could eventually result in a binding offtake agreement for the supply of liquid hydrogen from Woodside starting in 2030. Keppel plans to integrate this potential hydrogen supply into a larger, long-term utility-scale lower carbon power portfolio aimed at supporting its assets. This move signifies a step towards sustainability and reducing carbon emissions in the data centre industry. The collaboration between Woodside Energy and Keppel highlights a commitment to exploring innovative solutions for cleaner energy sources.
