SINGAPORE: Small modular reactors being looked at to power AI data centres by big tech could one day be deployed in Singapore, the CEO of the Energy Market Authority said on Monday .
“These have a lot more passive safety designs that will prevent the reactors from a meltdown. Their smaller size also makes them suitable for smaller power systems like Singapore’s,” he said. The EMA, along with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, is trying to use 100 per cent ammonia for power generation as well as for marine bunkering.
For green hydrogen, while the technology for production is now well-known, its cost and transportation costs need to be further looked into for scaling up to drive such costs down.
