Sembcorp has entered into a joint development framework agreement (JDFA) with Indonesian companies PT PLN EPI and PT TGU to explore the construction of a hydrogen pipeline connecting Sumatra in Indonesia's Riau Islands with Singapore. This initiative is part of efforts to drive the hydrogen plans of both countries, following the partnership between Sembcorp and PT PLN EPI to develop Southeast Asia's largest green hydrogen plant in Sumatra. The plant, with a planned 100,000-tonne annual capacity, will utilize local renewable energy sources to power electrolysis and export hydrogen via a subsea pipeline. These developments are expected to significantly boost hydrogen efforts in Southeast Asia. Singapore, aiming to meet half of its 2050 power needs with low-carbon hydrogen, faces challenges in domestic production capacity and space for renewables. This has led to initiatives for hydrogen importation, with companies like Gentari and Sembcorp collaborating to explore hydrogen import projects into Singapore. The collaboration between Sembcorp and Indonesian partners signifies a positive step towards sustainable energy solutions in the region, highlighting the growing importance of green energy and partnerships in advancing towards a more sustainable future.
