National Hydrogen Strategy

The Ministry of Trade and Industry published in October 2022 Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy. The role of low-carbon hydrogen to achieve the transition toward net zero by 2050 is identified, with particular focus to the power sector, due to limited domestic resources, and to the shipping and aviation sectors, given the strategic position of the country. Uncertainties surrounding green hydrogen development are recognised, and the effort will be organised around five key points:
- support pathfinder projects to advance technology innovation
- invest in research and development
- pursue international collaboration to enable low-carbon hydrogen supply chains
- undertake long-term land and infrastructure planning
- support workforce training

Through the Low Carbon Energy Research Project (LCER), a total of S$55 million of research funding had been awarded as of Oct 2022. The Government has set aside an additional S$129 million towards projects that can help Singapore import, handle, and utilise hydrogen and its carriers safely and at scale.
