Located in the Sakra sector of Jurong Island, the KSC Plant is designed to be able co-fire with 30% hydrogen content and has the capability of shifting to run entirely on hydrogen in line with the decarbonisation of Singapore’s power sector. In addition, as a CCGT power plant, it will also be able to produce steam for use in industrial processes for energy and chemicals customers on Jurong Island.
Keppel Corporation, together with Mitsubishi Power Asia Pacific and Jurong Engineering consortium, broke ground for the Keppel Sakra Cogen Plant (KSC Plant), Singapore’s first hydrogen ready cogeneration plant on July 19.
First announced in August last year, the KSC Plant will be a 600MW state-of-the-art, advanced combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant, which comes on the back of Singapore identifying hydrogen as a major decarbonisation pathway to support its international climate commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
