Linde, an industrial gas supplier, is working with STT and YTL in Malaysia to investigate the use of hydrogen energy in Singapore.

Linde, a multi-billion dollar hydrogen business, is working with ST Telemedia Global Data Centers (STT GDC), YTL PowerSeraya, and YTL Data Center Holdings to demonstrate the concept of hydrogen energy and strengthen its commitment to sustainability in Singapore. I have signed a contract to do so. ..

Qian Wen-Bin, Head of Clean Hydrogen and Decarbonization in Linde’s Asia Pacific region, said:

Processing and supply provide Singapore’s electricity sector with a competitive and effective decarbonization route, creating a more sustainable future for Singapore.

Singapore’s goal of becoming a digital hub is inconsistent with the lack of renewable energy. A data center that uses more than 7% of the country’s electricity, which is almost entirely generated from fossil fuels. From 2019 to Singapore Moratorium in the new data center,Formally Lifted Reportedly, in January 2022, very little new capacity will be allowed so far.

Hydrogen previously emerged as an energy storage method in Singapore, but is more often used by STTGDC’s rival Keppel. 2020, Keppel and Mitsubishi The proposed hydrogen power plant. 

Linde Imported hydrogen for Keppel in 2021And later that year, Keppel announced a proposal with Osaka Gas. Ships hydrogen from Australia..Keppel also suggested earlier Floating data center park..

As part of that, STT GDC First Sustainability Report Published in Late 2021, Singapore revealed that it purchased carbon credits to cover about 15% of local energy usage.Overall, the company Promises to be carbon neutral by 2030..

Bruno Lopes, President and Group CEO of STT GDC, said:

Address this issue at the source of the electricity ecosystem.

John Ng, CEO of YTLPower Seraya, said:

As one of Singapore’s largest power companies, we are at the center of energy transformation, exploring energy innovation and building national capacity with alternative energy sources.

Under the YTL Group of Companies, YTL PowerSeraya aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 60% by 2030. YTL Data Center Recently Launched the first Green Data Center Park in Malaysia. Linde has also announced a goal of reducing GHG emissions by 35% by 2035.
