The study will be conducted alongside Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and DNV.
Keppel New Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Keppel Infrastructure, will explore the use of 100% ammonia as a fuel for a gas turbine or combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) alongside Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and global independent energy expert, DNV.
The parties will conduct the high-level Quantitative Risk Assessment on Jurong Island.
