Singapore's EMA and JERA forge partnership to strengthen LNG supply chain

The collaboration will support Singapore’s natural gas security.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Japan’s JERA signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on reinforcing the liquified natural gas (LNG) procurement and supply chain for the two markets.

In a statement, the parties said they will share best practices and knowledge, and work together on LNG supply procurement and management.

EMA Assistant Chief Executive Soh Sai Bor said the partnership will support Singapore’s natural gas supply security and reliability, providing stable and competitive pricing for the power sector.

“Natural gas will continue to be a major part of our energy mix even as we pivot to and scale up lower carbon sources in the medium to longer term,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ryosuke Tsugaru, Senior Managing Executive Officer and Chief Low Carbon Fuel Officer at JERA, said the partnership will enable the parties to build a more “stable, resilient and cost-efficient” energy flow.

Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry signed a memorandum of cooperation on LNG Cooperation and Energy Transitions in October 2022.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
