About Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy
For Singapore, hydrogen will complement and diversify our power mix alongside solar, imported electricity, and other potential low-carbon energy sources. Depending on technological developments and the development of other energy sources, hydrogen could supply up to half of our power needs by 2050 and will play an important role in decarbonizing our industry.
Besides domestic emissions, low-carbon hydrogen and hydrogen-derived fuels are potential alternatives to fossil fuels in the maritime and aviation sectors. As the busiest container transshipment port and one of the leading air hubs in the world, Singapore can be a catalyst for the global transition towards greener shipping and aviation.
Singapore will pace our hydrogen deployment and infrastructure development in line with technological and global progress and organise our efforts around five key thrusts:
Experiment with the use of advanced hydrogen technologies at the cusp of commercial readiness through pathfinder projects
Invest in research and development to unlock technological bottlenecks
Pursue international collaborations to enable supply chains for low-carbon hydrogen
Undertake long-term land and infrastructure planning
Support workforce training and development of our broader hydrogen economy.
From 2024, all new Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (gas-powered power plants) are also required to be at least 30% hydrogen-ready, with the ability to be retrofitted to become 100% hydrogen-ready etc.
