JTC and Singapore's EMA launches tender for renewable energy innovations on the Jurong island

Singapore's Energy Market Authority and Singaporean state-owned JTC have jointly launched a Jurong Island Renewable Energy Request for Proposals (RFP) to accelerate the development of clean energy innovations for implementation on the island. 

The RFP is open to the industry including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the research community. The projects will be funded by a US$6 million joint commitment by EMA and JTC, with support from Enterprise Singapore (ESG). The funds will be used to support prototyping and demonstration of their solutions on Jurong Island over the next two years. The RFP is focused on advancing clean energy technologies to reduce carbon emissions in three areas:

• Renewable Energy such as new advances in solar photovoltaic (PV) materials, innovative methods in deploying solar PV, e.g. on pipe racks and storage tanks, and efficient conversion of solar energy for industrial uses, e.g. conversion to hydrogen or steam;
• Energy Storage Systems (ESS) with improved fire safety for safe and reliable operations, and technologies with higher energy density to reduce the land needed for ESS deployment in Singapore; and
• Low-Carbon Solutions that are scalable in areas including, but not limited to, hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).

The deadline for the submission of proposals is on January 24, 2022. More information can be accessed on our business opportunity page here.
