Sembcorp signs deal for hydrogen pipeline linking Indonesia and Singapore

Hydrogen may soon be transported between the two countries.

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp), through its wholly owned subsidiary Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd has inked a joint development framework agreement with its Indonesian partners for a possible hydrogen transportation pipeline connecting Sumatra, the Riau Islands in Jakarta, and Singapore.

In a bourse filing, Sembcorp said the deal was signed with PT PLN Energi Primer Indonesia (PT PLN EPI), a sub-holding company of PT PLN (Persero), and PT Transportasi Gas Indonesia (PT TGI), a joint venture company between PT Pertamina Gas Negara Tbk. and Transasia Pipeline Company Pvt. Ltd.

The project will utilise the expertise of PT TGI, the owner-operator of natural gas transportation across Indonesia, to establish the regional hydrogen hub.

Sembcorp and PT PLN EPI previously announced that they are looking into developing a green hydrogen production facility in Sumatra, the largest in Southeast Asia with an annual capacity of 100,000 metric tonnes.

The signing of the agreement is not expected to have a material impact on the earnings per share and net tangible assets per share of Sembcorp for the financial year ending 31 December 2024.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
