SINGAPORE: An S$800 million hydrogen-ready power plant on Jurong Island will be more cost-efficient than similar facilities powered by regular turbines, said the CEO of its operator YTL PowerSeraya.
Green hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water, which emits only water vapour. This can significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions compared with hydrogen derived from fossil fuels. “The entire ecosystem takes time to develop, and there are various parties very interested in developing those parts of the ecosystem."
“So I think by leveraging the strength and opportunity that's available, we can actually move electricity from one to another.”When asked how cost-efficient it will be to have a hydrogen turbine rather than a regular gas turbine, Mr Ng said the Jurong Island power plant “may cost slightly higher” due to its capacity and function as a hydrogen-ready facility.
