據世界天然氣11月17日消息稱，新加坡宣布，計劃在2022年向低碳能源研究(LCER)投資1.29億新元(近9400萬美元)，以幫助安全、大規模地進口、處理和利用氫氣。

文化、社區和青年部國務部長、貿易和工業部部長Low Yen Ling在2022年OSEA(離岸東南亞)開幕式上宣布了這一消息。

此外，LCER項目已經獲得了5500萬新元(約4000萬美元)的投資。

全球對氫氣行業的投資將迅速增長，持續的創新有望幫助新加坡能源行業保持競爭力。

據估計，超過1000家公司在新加坡從事海洋和海上工程(M&OE)，雇傭超過7.5萬名工人，總產出119億新元(86.4億美元)。

今年夏天，新加坡吉寶(Keppel)達成了開發一個氫準備發電廠的最終投資決定(FID)，并將工程、采購和施工(EPC)合同授予三菱電力亞太和裕廊工程。

上個月，該國能源解決方案提供商勝科工業與日本政府和多家企業結成戰略伙伴關系，以推進氫氣和其他脫碳計劃。

勝科當時表示，氫供應鏈將是所有合作伙伴關系的重點。

Singapore invests in low-carbon energy research to boost hydrogen growth

Singapore has revealed its plans to invest SGD 129 million (nearly $94 million) in low-carbon energy research (LCER) in 2022 to help import, handle and utilise hydrogen safely and at scale.

The announcement was made by Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry at the opening of OSEA (Offshore Southeast Asia) 2022.

The investment adds to SGD 55 million (around $40 million) already awarded to LCER projects.

Global investment in the hydrogen sector is set to grow rapidly, and continued innovation is expected to help Singapore’s energy sector maintain competitiveness.

It is estimated that over 1,000 companies work in marine and offshore engineering (M&OE) in Singapore, employing more than 75,000 workers, and generating SGD 11.9 billion ($8.64 billion) in total output.

This summer, Singapore’s Keppel reached a final investment decision (FID) to develop a hydrogen-ready power plant and awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific and Jurong Engineering.

Last month, the country’s energy solutions provider Sembcorp Industries formed strategic partnerships with the Japanese government and various corporations to progress hydrogen and other decarbonisation initiatives.

The hydrogen supply chain will be a prominent focus across all partnerships, Sembcorp said at the time.
