Singapore's Senoko Energy and Gentari Partner on Hydrogen Import from Malaysia
Key Ideas
- Senoko Energy and Gentari signed an agreement to explore importing hydrogen from Malaysia to Singapore for use in energy assets.
- The collaboration aims to reduce carbon emissions by 18,000 tCO2e annually in its initial phase, equivalent to removing 4,000 cars from the roads.
- The partnership is seen as a significant move towards a sustainable energy landscape and a low-carbon future, with plans to expand the reduction to 535,000 tCO2e in subsequent phases.
- Gentari emphasizes the importance of hydrogen in decarbonizing sectors and building a hydrogen backbone for Southeast Asia, connecting production and demand centers for green hydrogen adoption.
Senoko Energy Pte Ltd and Gentari Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Petronas, have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the importation of hydrogen gas from Malaysia to Singapore. The aim is to integrate hydrogen into Senoko Energy's existing and new gas turbine assets, enhancing efficiency and environmental performance. The 20-year supply agreement with Gentari is set to begin in 2029, targeting a reduction of 18,000 tCO2e annually in the first phase, equivalent to removing 4,000 cars from the roads, with potential for further reductions in subsequent phases. Senoko Energy's CEO highlighted the importance of hydrogen in reducing carbon emissions and advancing the energy transition. Similarly, Gentari's chief hydrogen officer emphasized the role of hydrogen in decarbonization and the creation of a hydrogen backbone for Southeast Asia. The collaboration is seen as a significant step towards a sustainable energy landscape, with a focus on low-carbon solutions and infrastructure development.
