Transforming Heavy Vehicle Operations: Singapore's Hydrogen Initiative with NTU, PSA, and Chiyoda Corporation
Key Ideas
  • NTU, PSA, and Chiyoda Corporation collaborated to evaluate hydrogen's potential as a sustainable energy source for heavy vehicles using LOHC technology.
  • A hydrogen refueling station at Singapore's Pasir Panjang Terminal is key to the trial, aiming to test LOHC viability for industrial storage and on-site hydrogen production.
  • The project highlights the significance of hydrogen in powering green heavy vehicles, potentially revolutionizing transportation methods and reducing carbon emissions.
  • The outcomes of this initiative are expected to influence sustainable industrial practices globally, showcasing a proactive approach towards implementing cleaner energy solutions.
In June 2024, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, PSA Singapore, and Chiyoda Corporation launched a collaborative initiative to assess hydrogen as a sustainable energy source for heavy vehicles. The project focuses on utilizing methylcyclohexane (MCH), a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC), for transporting and storing hydrogen to support green heavy vehicles. A hydrogen refueling station established at Singapore's Pasir Panjang Terminal, managed by PSA Singapore, is central to the trial, which is expected to continue until mid-2025. This station is testing the feasibility of LOHCs for industrial storage and on-site hydrogen gas production, aiming to transform refueling processes in heavy vehicle operations. The involvement of PSA Singapore and Chiyoda Corporation, major players in the logistics and engineering industries respectively, underscores the importance of integrating low-carbon solutions like hydrogen technology. With the focus on green heavy vehicles, the project highlights the potential of hydrogen fuel cells to revolutionize transportation by emitting only water and heat during electricity production. The outcomes of the trial are anticipated to guide future applications not only in Singapore but also globally, emphasizing the commitment to sustainable practices and environmental conservation. This collaborative effort signifies a proactive approach towards exploring and implementing cleaner energy solutions with the aim of making a meaningful impact on a global scale.
