Sembcorp, Keppel, YTL consortiums among Singapore’s 6 shortlisted ammonia developer candidates

CONSORTIUMS connected to Sembcorp Industries , Keppel Corporation , Jurong Port, Engie, Tuas Power, and YTL PowerSeraya are the six shortlisted entities vying to provide a low- or zero-carbon ammonia solution for power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island, industry sources told The Business Times (BT).

Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said on Monday (Oct 23) that the government had received 26 proposals from an expression-of-interest exercise launched in December 2022 to explore the possibility of developing an end-to-end ammonia solution for Jurong Island. Of those, six will be invited to take part in a request for proposal, following which one will be chosen as a lead developer for the project. The government has not announced which organisations are among the six.

The sources, who spoke to BT on condition of anonymity due to commercial sensitivities, shared that the consortium partners for Jurong Port, a Singapore-headquartered port operator, are from Japanese multinational Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Jera, Japan’s largest power generation company.
