Singapore’s Jurong Port has partnered up with subsidiaries of Japan’s multinational engineering firm Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and power generation major JERA to jointly explore establishing a 100% ammonia direct combustion power plant and encourage ammonia demand to be ready for ammonia bunkering in the future.
Jurong Port and MHI’s Asia Pacific unit in August 2021 signed a memorandum of understanding for a pre-feasibility study on ammonia direct combustion technology for green power generation, which was concluded in March.
Under the new agreement, the trio plans to build the 60 MW gas turbine combined cycle plant on Jurong Island, which houses the country’s chemical and energy industries.
The project aims to supply green electricity and also develop an ammonia bunkering terminal for ships as part of Singapore’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
