Keppel Limited (Keppel) has signed a memorandum of understanding through its infrastructure division with JTC Corporation for the advancement of low-carbon energy infrastructure on Jurong Island.
The collaboration involves the exploration and facilitation of research, pilot studies, and proof-of-value initiatives that demonstrate technically and commercially viable low-carbon energy infrastructure solutions in Jurong Island.
Keppel says that it will work with JTC in four key areas — integrated low-carbon district energy solutions; smart microgrid testbeds; AI enabled digital energy layer and energy-as-a-service models.
Keppel says that this MOU builds upon its energy and utilities footprint on Jurong island, including Keppel Merlimau Cogen power plant, and Singapore’s most advanced and first hydrogen-compatible power plant, Keppel Sakra Cogen, and other energy transition initiatives, such as the front-end engineering and design study for a 55-65 MW ammonia power plant, terminal infrastructure and bunkering solutions, as well as upgrading and intensification of shared utility corridors to support new chemicals, low-carbon fuels, and emerging energy applications.
“Keppel is honoured to contribute as a pathfinder and operator, translating emerging technologies into real-world impact across our industrial landscape, from the integration of renewable energy and district-level decarbonisation to emerging low-carbon fuels and next-generation, low-carbon data centre parks,” says Cindy Lim, CEO of Keppel Infrastructure Division.
Shares in Keppel closed 26 cents higher or 2.634% up at $10.13 on Nov 24.
