According to the joint statement released by both parties, this is the first time that a hydrogen fuel cell study will be conducted using town gas as a fuel source in Singapore.
City Energy and Sydrogen Energy have, on Oct 27, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to study the proof of concept (PoC) of generating an end-to-end hydrogen fuel cell solution for an off-grid power supply. The hydrogen will be extracted from the town gas produced by City Energy.
The PoC is to establish the viability of distributed power generation using fuel cells and the town gas network. In the study, both parties seek to demonstrate that hydrogen fuel cells can be used as an off-grid decentralised means to augment infrastructure upgrades that support large-scale charging for electric vehicles (EVs) in future.
