Hydrogen and Ammonia Innovations: Singapore Visits Siemens in Berlin
Berlin, Saturday, 1 February 2025.
Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister joined Siemens in Berlin to discuss hydrogen advancements, strengthening ties for sustainable energy. This reflects significant collaboration for a greener future.
Strategic Meetings for Energy Innovation
I’m excited to share news about a significant meeting that took place this week at Siemens Energy headquarters in Berlin. Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, Heng Swee Keat, led a delegation to explore cutting-edge developments in hydrogen and ammonia technology [1]. What makes this particularly interesting is Siemens Energy’s existing substantial footprint in Singapore, where they currently contribute to 30% of the nation’s total power generation capacity [1].
Singapore’s Green Energy Commitment
The timing of this visit is crucial as Singapore pushes forward with its ambitious net-zero targets by 2050 [1]. I find it fascinating how they’re approaching this through a multi-faceted strategy, including high-voltage direct current electricity imports and the integration of low-carbon alternatives like hydrogen and ammonia [1]. This aligns perfectly with the current global green ammonia market trends, which show remarkable growth potential - projections indicate the market will reach USD 41.4 billion by 2032, with a stunning CAGR of 72.9% from 2024 to 2032 [8].
Technology and Research Collaboration
During their visit, the delegation showed particular interest in Siemens Energy’s electrolyzer and gas turbine factory [1]. As a global leader in energy technology [5], Siemens Energy’s willingness to enhance their role in Singapore’s energy generation and supply is significant. What excites me most is their commitment to continuing strong collaborations with Singapore’s top research institutions [1]. This partnership could be transformative, especially considering Siemens Energy’s extensive worldwide operations across various energy technology sectors [4][5].
