Singapore is preparing to adopt hydrogen to decarbonize its energy sector and diversify power sources. While large-scale deployment is years away, power firms are making initial preparations. Senoko Energy, operating one of Singapore's largest power plants, is studying the feasibility of importing hydrogen from Malaysia.

This partnership with Gentari, a clean energy provider under Petronas, aims to transport hydrogen via existing pipelines. A memorandum of understanding was signed in October 2024, establishing a 20-year supply agreement expected to begin by 2029. The proposal involves using pipelines with a mixture of 95% natural gas and 5% hydrogen, though concerns about material and safety may affect the suitability of existing pipelines for hydrogen blends.
