Singapore needs to scale up nuclear energy development

This will support hydrogen deployment.

Singapore was urged to implement efforts to enhance its nuclear energy capabilities amidst challenges in hydrogen utilisation.

In its analysis of the Singapore 2025 budget, RHB noted that it “still needs to take steps to systematically build up capabilities” in nuclear energy.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in his budget speech that there are inherent challenges in the production, storage, and transportation of hydrogen, which makes it hard to scale up in a commercially viable manner.

To address this, Singapore plans to study the potential deployment of nuclear energy in Singapore.

RHB noted that Singapore has signed agreements with the US on civil nuclear cooperation and is also working on similar cooperation with other countries that have capabilities and experience in civilian nuclear power, especially small modular reactors.

The government has also injected additional capital into the Future Energy Fund.

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.
