Hyundai and Singapore Power Up the Hydrogen Future
Singapore, Monday, 3 November 2025.
Hyundai and Singapore join forces to expand hydrogen power in Southeast Asia, aiming for a low-carbon future. This partnership promises to shake up the clean energy game. Talk about a power couple!
A Strategic Alliance
Hyundai Motor Group and the Singapore government have teamed up to champion the hydrogen economy in Southeast Asia. This collaboration, formalized with a Memorandum of Understanding on 3 November 2025, focuses on low-carbon technologies, including hydrogen. The aim is to support Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and boost hydrogen distribution efficiency through Singapore’s pipeline network [1][2].
Building a Hydrogen Ecosystem
Hyundai plans to work closely with local mobility partners in Singapore to introduce hydrogen-powered vehicles and spread awareness about sustainable hydrogen ecosystems. The partnership is expected to expand into a larger hydrogen infrastructure network, which will be bolstered by the recent cross-border free trade zone between Singapore and Johor, Malaysia [1][2].
Vision for a Greener Future
Hyundai’s vision includes extending the clean hydrogen ecosystem across neighbouring countries. This move is part of a broader strategy to position Singapore as a global innovation hub. The Economic Development Board (EDB) will play a pivotal role in helping Hyundai identify opportunities for local enterprise collaborations and advancing clean energy solutions [2][3].
International Collaboration
At the APEC CEO Summit 2025, Hyundai underscored the need for global partnerships to drive the hydrogen economy. They highlighted hydrogen’s potential as a catalyst for achieving carbon neutrality and its role in transforming industries beyond transportation [3].
Hyundai’s Commitment
Hyundai Motor Group has demonstrated a robust commitment to hydrogen technology through its global ventures. This includes the groundbreaking of a hydrogen fuel cell plant in Ulsan, South Korea, which marks a significant milestone in their journey towards a sustainable future [4][5]. The facility is set to produce advanced hydrogen fuel cells for diverse applications, reinforcing Hyundai’s leadership in the hydrogen value chain [5].
