Jurong Island, the cornerstone of Singapore’s energy and chemicals (E&C) industry, is pivoting to serve growing demand for decarbonisation solutions, specialty chemicals, sustainable materials, circular feedstocks and new energies.
JTC, the government agency in charge of Singapore’s industrial progress, and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) have plans to make Jurong Island a vibrant hub for specialty chemicals and sustainable materials as well as a global testbed for new energies and low-carbon technologies.
Nearly 300 hectares of land on Jurong Island has been set aside for the development of new energy solutions. Companies such as Keppel and Siemens Energy Global are using the island to pilot next-generation fuels such as sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen and ammonia in real industrial settings, with access to shared pipelines, storage and facilities that reduce cost
