Singapore Initiates $800 Million Hydrogen-Ready Power Plant Construction
Key Ideas
  • Singapore commences construction of an $800 million power plant at Pulau Seraya, designed to utilize hydrogen for electricity generation.
  • The power plant, with a capacity of 600MW, aims to support Singapore's target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
  • Initially, the plant will operate on a mix of 50% hydrogen and 50% natural gas, with plans for future conversion to full hydrogen power.
  • The project's ground-breaking ceremony coincided with the Singapore International Energy Week held from October 21-25.
Singapore has embarked on the construction of an $800 million power plant at the Pulau Seraya power station on Jurong island, with the primary purpose of utilizing hydrogen for electricity generation. The project, spearheaded by YTL PowerSeraya, involves a hydrogen-ready combined cycle gas turbine with a capacity of 600MW, capable of powering approximately 864,000 four-room flats for a year. Scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027, the plant represents a significant step towards Singapore's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Initially designed to operate on a combination of 50% hydrogen and 50% natural gas, the facility is set to be adaptable for full hydrogen usage in the future. The groundbreaking ceremony for the power plant coincided with the Singapore International Energy Week held from October 21-25, showcasing the nation's commitment to sustainable energy practices and technological advancements in the pursuit of environmental goals.
