Singapore and Japan sign energy and climate cooperation pact

The deal covers civil nuclear, hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies.

Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) signed the ‘Energy, Sustainability, and Climate Change Cooperation Framework’ on 15 March.

The MTI and METI will focus on areas such as cross-border electricity imports, low-carbon hydrogen/ammonia, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, civil nuclear energy, liquefied natural gas, advanced grid system enablers, and offshore wind.

The collaborations may include policy exchanges, business facilitation, financial cooperation, and the mutual recognition of standards and regulations.

Both countries will also work to encourage industry players and financial institutions to invest in low-carbon energy projects and support the development of related technologies and supply chains.

The framework was signed by Tan See Leng, Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science & Technology in MTI, and Akazawa Ryosei, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry in METI.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
