Singapore plans to develop hydrogen as a pathway to accelerate transitions to net zero emissions and strengthen the Southeast Asian nation’s energy security.

When produced through low emission methods such as through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy, it can have close to zero emissions,” said Wong.
“For Singapore, hydrogen can complement and diversify our power mix alongside solar,…
