Keppel signs deal with EDB to build gasification plant on Jurong Island

Singapore

SINGAPORE is moving ahead with a gasification facility that uses coal and other feedstock on Jurong Island, some six years after it first studied the idea as part of the Jurong Island version 2.0 initiative.

Keppel Infrastructure, a division of Keppel Corporation, said in an announcement on Tuesday that it has signed an agreement with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to develop, own and operate such a facility.
