Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said an international supply chain and the technology for transporting ammonia are well established.
“Ammonia also has the potential to be used directly as fuel for power generation and maritime shipping,” Mr Gan added. The project will involve developing an end-to-end ammonia solution to generate 55 megawatts to 65MW of electricity from imported low-carbon or zero-carbon ammonia via direct combustion in a gas turbine or combined cycle gas turbine, said the Energy Market Authority on Monday.The project developer, which will be working closely with the Government, will also have to facilitate ammonia bunkering at a capacity of at least 0.
This will allow the authorities to study the options seriously when newer technologies later prove to be viable, said Mr Gan, who noted that there is a growing interest in nuclear energy among countries in the region. These reactors harness nuclear fission to generate heat and produce energy, and have a power capacity of up to 300MW per unit, about one-third the generation capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors, according to the IAEA.Mr Gan noted that some SMRs are designed to cool safely and passively without requiring external systems or operator actions during emergencies.
Studies are also under way to determine whether biofuels can be more widely adopted across different carbon-intensive sectors, said Mr Gan.
