Singapore's EMA and JERA forge partnership to strengthen LNG supply chain

The collaboration will support Singapore’s natural gas security.

Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Japan’s JERA signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on reinforcing the liquified natural gas (LNG) procurement and supply chain for the two markets.

In a statement, the parties said they will share best practices and knowledge, and work together on LNG supply procurement and management.

EMA Assistant Chief Executive Soh Sai Bor said the partnership will support Singapore’s natural gas supply security and reliability, providing stable and competitive pricing for the power sector.

“Natural gas will continue to be a major part of our energy mix even as we pivot to and scale up lower carbon sources in the medium to longer term,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ryosuke Tsugaru, Senior Managing Executive Officer and Chief Low Carbon Fuel Officer at JERA, said the partnership will enable the parties to build a more “stable, resilient and cost-efficient” energy flow.

Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry signed a memorandum of cooperation on LNG Cooperation and Energy Transitions in October 2022.

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.
