Paving The Way For The Energy Transition

SLNG has been a critical partner of Government and our power generation companies, playing a key role in times of market volatility to secure supplies from the global market. Beyond energy security, SLNG’s range of services and capabilities has helped to develop a vibrant energy ecosystem.

Congratulations to everyone at SLNG on the 10th anniversary of the LNG Terminal’s operations!

industry professionals and worked closely with them to form the initial team at SLNG, and to get the company started.

Singapore has come a long way in securing our energy sources. From coal, we have shifted largely to using natural gas for power generation. We have one of the most reliable power networks in the world supporting the needs of our modern city.

Since then, SLNG has made tremendous progress. Today, about half of our total natural gas for power generation flows through its terminal. SLNG has also been a critical partner of Government and our power generation companies, playing a key role in times of market volatility to secure supplies from the global market. Beyond energy security, SLNG’s range of services and capabilities has helped to develop a vibrant energy ecosystem. Singapore is now one of the largest LNG trading hubs in the world, ranking among the top countries in terms of LNG re-export volumes.

A key enabler is access to liquefied natural gas or LNG. The opening of the LNG terminal a decade ago was a major milestone. I still remember the events leading up to this milestone. It was soon after the Global Financial Crisis and the high financial costs made it difficult for the LNG terminal to carry on as a commercial undertaking. The Government assessed that the LNG terminal was important for energy security, and decided to take over the project. I was at the Energy Market Authority (EMA) then and we set up SLNG as a subsidiary company to build, own and operate the terminal.

We had to tackle many challenges at the start.

EMA then did not have any expertise in building or running an LNG terminal. We brought in

I have every confidence that the team at SLNG will continue to do their best in meeting Singapore’s energy needs, and contribute to our transition to greener fuels. SLNG has been working with its partners to study low-carbon alternatives such as hydrogen and the use of cold energy to support carbon capture and storage. Through close partnership and collaboration, we can continue to ensure reliable and sustainable energy for Singapore for many years to come.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Mr Tang Kin Fei Chairman, Singapore LNG Corporation

With a mix of sheer determination, can-do spirit and problem-solving ingenuity, we overcame many challenges along the way to build the world-class LNG terminal we have today.

Paving The Way For The Energy Transition

2023 is an exciting year for Singapore LNG Corporation (SLNG), especially as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the start of commercial operations at the SLNG Terminal. I am proud to present this commemorative book, which shares highlights of SLNG’s journey and key achievements over the past decade.

When the SLNG Terminal began commercial operations on Jurong Island on 7 May 2013, with just one jetty and two storage tanks, it marked the start of a new chapter in Singapore’s energy story. Being the first LNG terminal here, there was no “local model” we could readily emulate – we were the pioneers, so to speak, beating out a fresh new path for the Singapore LNG industry. We brought in experts from around the world to help us get started and to learn from, and we recruited locally to operate the terminal and develop the talent pool for the industry.

The journey to reach this 10-year milestone was not all smooth-sailing. But with a mix of sheer determination, can-do spirit and problem-solving ingenuity, we overcame many challenges along the way to build the worldclass LNG terminal we have today; one that operates to the highest safety and reliability standards, can accommodate a wide range of LNG carriers, and is able to serve the needs of domestic and regional LNG markets alike.

Today, the SLNG Terminal is key infrastructure for Singapore’s energy security, supplying some 50 per cent of the country’s natural gas used for power generation. It has the capacity and capability to support all of Singapore’s power generation needs, if called upon to do so.

More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic presented SLNG with a new and unprecedented set of challenges that required not just meticulous attention to the health and

safety of our employees, but also forwardthinking and creativity to keep the terminal running without disruption. I am proud to say that SLNG did well to rise to the challenge.

Moving forward, SLNG will be building upon the experiences of its first 10 years to catalyse exciting new possibilities for Singapore’s energy transition. This includes expanding our infrastructure to better serve the market’s needs, exploring ways to recover cold energy for various uses, and facilitating the adoption of more sustainable fuel sources to support Singapore’s decarbonisation efforts and further enhance energy security.

I invite you to peruse this book at your leisure to learn more about SLNG’s 10-year journey thus far, and where we are heading towards in the years to come.

I would like to add that our successes would not have been possible if not for the support and collaboration we have received over the years from stakeholders such as the Singapore Government, particularly our shareholder the Energy Market Authority; key customers such as Shell Gas Marketing, Shell Eastern Trading, Pavilion Energy Singapore, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific and Sembcorp Fuels (Singapore) Pte Ltd; and all our end users. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to them, as well as to SLNG’s past and present Board Members, senior management and staff, who have all contributed to SLNG’s successes through the years.

Senoko Power Station

A FUEL FOR LIFE FOR over 30 years, natural gas has helped to

keep Singapore’s homes, offices, factories and more, running; powering the country’s development and growth. In 1992, Senoko power plant was the first power plant in Singapore to be fuelled by piped natural gas from Malaysia. Since then, the use of natural gas for power generation has grown – from just under 20 per cent in 2000, when oil was still the preferred fuel, to more than 95 per cent today.

While natural gas is a fossil fuel, it is the cleanest one, emitting 50 to 60 per cent less carbon dioxide when burnt. When considered along with its relative availability and cost-effectiveness, natural gas is the most ideal fuel source for Singapore, helping to bridge the gap even as the country moves forward to invest in more sustainable and renewable energy sources.

A LO CA L CH A M P I ON FOR LNG WITH the decision made to build

the LNG terminal, the Singapore government initially sought a public-private partnership to develop it. However, as the global financial crisis roiled the world from 2007 to 2009 and financial markets became less welcoming due to the economic uncertainties, the public-private partnership model became

increasingly unfeasible. Hence, the government decided to step in and take over the terminal’s ownership and development.

In June 2009, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) incorporated a wholly-owned new company to design, build, own and operate the terminal – Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd, or SLNG.

SLNG was formed in 2009 to design, build, own and operate Singapore’s first LNG terminal.

The SLNG Terminal is Asia’s first open-access, multi-user terminal that can import and re-export LNG from mutiple suppliers.

Each tank sits on an area of around 6,358 square metres, equivalent to the area of 14 basketball courts.

SHEDDING LIGHT ON STORAGE The SLNG Terminal’s first three storage tanks can each hold 180,000 cubic metres of LNG. Here are other fun facts about the tanks.

More than 27,800 cubic metres of concrete, 5,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement bars and 3,600 tonnes of steel plate were used to build each tank.

Two additional layers of nickel steel plate and carbon steel plate line the inside of each tank’s onemetre-thick concrete walls.

Each tank is large enough to contain two Airbus A380 aircraft stacked on top of one another.

with a ground-breaking ceremony on 31 March 2010, was an intricate and complicated undertaking. With thousands of workers of different nationalities and backgrounds descending on Jurong Island to be part of the project, training was mandated to ensure that all of them could carry out their responsibilities to the same high safety standard, before they were even allowed on site.

Even before the terminal started operations, the International Energy Agency (IEA) noted Singapore’s advantages to become a competitive natural gas trading hub.

By the time the terminal’s construction got underway, six power generation companies had signed long-term gas purchase agreements with BG totalling about 1.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), signalling their commitment and giving the terminal a running start.

The firms were Senoko Energy, YTL PowerSeraya, Tuas Power, Sembcorp Cogen, Keppel Merlimau Cogen and Island Power Company (now PacificLight Power).

in 2013, Singapore had the makings for such a role as it was already one of the world’s biggest oil-trading hubs, with the government commanding considerable experience in regulating the energy commodity trade.

time, and is currently Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Transport, explained: “ The introduction of LNG was pivotal in diversifying Singapore’s gas supplies and enhancing our energy security. It also encouraged new plantings by power generation companies, and supported the growth of new business activities such as LNG trading and bunkering.”

I thank the founding team at SLNG, led by Chairman Bob Tan and Chief Executive Officer Neil McGregor, for their excellent work in getting the LNG terminal started on time and within budget, while achieving a very good safety record during the construction.

completion, SLNG received its first commissioning LNG cargo from Qatargas in March 2013. This was used to cool the terminal’s storage tanks and pipes to their operating temperature of about -161 degrees Celsius and get them ready for full and continuous operations.

The arrival of the cargo on the Umm Slal, which is a Q-Max

LNG vessel, not only affirmed that the terminal could accommodate the largest LNG ships in the world, but also that Singapore could import LNG from any country, opening up previously unavailable supply options.

After years of preparation and hard work, the terminal welcomed its first commercial cargo from BG on 7 May 2013, marking the start

of its commercial operations, and creating a new pathway for the future of Singapore’s energy sector.

The terminal began operations with one jetty, two LNG storage tanks and an initial send-out capacity of around 3.5 Mtpa. By early 2014, the second jetty and third storage tank were completed, together with additional regasification facilities, raising the send-out capacity to around 6 Mtpa.

When Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong officiated at the opening of the terminal on 25 February 2014, he emphasised:

“ We can import, with this LNG terminal, much more natural gas from global markets, including from anywhere in the world. Some of our gas is coming from Trinidad & Tobago, and it is hard to imagine a source further away than that.”

He added: “ And because there are more suppliers vying for our business, we can obtain more competitive prices.

And with more gas available, and new generation capacity entering the market, electricity generation becomes more competitive, which will benefit consumers.

I t is a milestone in Singapore’s energy journey.”

A N E W V I S ION FOR SLNG TODAY, SLNG fulfils about 50 per cent of

Singapore’s total natural gas demand, and has enough capacity to support all of the country’s power sector gas needs, based on current demand projection. Even so, it is not resting on its laurels.

In 2020, it developed a five-year strategic roadmap to create new value by growing the LNG ecosystem in Singapore and beyond. This includes working with partners to further develop the throughput and LNG bunkering business in Singapore, facilitating more LNG trading, embarking on digital and business transformation projects for greater efficiency and agility, and more.

To better align with this new phase of growth and development, SLNG embarked on an exercise to review and update its branding and, in the process, recast its vision and values and launched a new logo.

SLNG’s new vision – Catalysing New Possibilities in the Energy Transition – reflects its broader ambition to not just meet but exceed its energy security mandate; advance the growth of the LNG ecosystem; and facilitate developments and innovations in sustainable new energy.

Driving the fulfilment of this vision is a set of new core values – ForwardLooking, Collaborative, Courageous, Engaging, Enterprising and Energising.

Mr Tan Soo Koong Chief Executive Officer Singapore LNG Corporation (2019 – Present)

56

Paving The Way For The Energy Transition

Explaining the impetus for the development, Mr Tan Soo Koong, current Chief Executive Officer of SLNG, elaborated: “ When I joined in 2019, we took a pause to consider more deeply about what’s next for SLNG. At that time the LNG adoption for the industry – not just for power generation but for bunkering and other areas – was developing very rapidly, so we needed to move beyond the energy security mandate to support and defend Singapore as an energy hub.”

Firstly, we needed to continue to ensure energy security.

This is the primary driving force of SLNG, and I am very proud that we can serve our nation in this important capacity. Secondly, we needed to grow the LNG business and make full use of our strategic assets. Thirdly, we needed to confront and address the changing energy landscape. We are well aware that while LNG is the cleanest fossil fuel, the ultimate goal for the future is to transition towards cleaner, more sustainable and even renewable fuels; and SLNG can and should play a role in this transition. Finally, overarching all of this, we needed to boost the enabling imperatives to ensure that we have the right skillsets and digital platforms to bring SLNG forward.

CATALYSING NEW POSSIBILITIES IN THE ENERGY TRANSITION VALUES TO DRIVE A VISION With the future in mind, SLNG recast its core values to align with its new phase of growth and development. The new values are:

FORWARD-LOOKING Seeing what’s possible – focusing on opportunities and solutions rather than obstacles.

ENGAGING ENERGISING Bringing openness, ideas and passion to relationships, so that others are motivated to do more.

ENTERPRISING

Connecting and reaching out to share ideas and solutions.

COURAGEOUS Resolve and conviction about our strategy for the future; committed to doing the right thing now.

Willingness to try new things and to go the extra mile to get things done.

COLLABORATIVE Teamwork and partnerships for win-win outcomes.

is bright. The government is backing LNG as the country’s transition fuel of choice as it works towards achieving its carbon emissions goals, which include reaching net zero emissions by 2050. It is also inking partnerships to encourage the LNG sector’s growth locally and beyond.

In 2022, it signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) on LNG cooperation and energy transitions with Japan, building on an earlier MOC on low emissions solutions. The new MOC will expand the two nations’ collaborations to include promoting investments across the LNG value chain, discussing LNG’s use as a transition fuel, and knowledge sharing on measuring, reporting and verifying greenhouse gas emissions in LNG supply chains.

GEARING UP F O R LNG G ROW T H WITH natural gas being one of

EMA’s ‘four switches’ to diversify Singapore’s energy sources, SLNG will continue to play an essential role in Singapore’s energy security for years to come. It is anticipated that LNG will grow to take up at least 70 per cent of the country’s natural gas demand (over piped natural gas), in the not too distant future.

To further enhance Singapore’s energy security and better support the growth of the LNG ecosystem, SLNG is looking into expanding its terminal infrastructure and capacity over the next few years.

Among its plans is to increase the available LNG storage capacity to serve rising demand for the fuel and broaden the options for LNG trading and other businesses.

Several options are being explored in this regard, including bringing in a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) which would be a relatively easier to implement option; and/or building additional storage tanks at the terminal that would be “future-ready” - equipped with membrane technology that provides the flexibility for the tanks to be used to store other greener fuels like ammonia.

There are also other expansion projects in the pipeline, such as building out the tertiary jetty to enable more LNG bunkering and small-scale reload activities; and constructing a more permanent and upgraded LNG truck loading facility that can accommodate more trucks and operate more efficiently, with better equipment.

transition and low-carbon ambition, SLNG is also looking into harnessing the cold energy released from its terminal’s operations.

Cold energy, if harnessed well, can be a substitute for applications that require refrigeration systems.

Compared with these systems, the two-pronged benefits of utilising cold energy are one, a significantly lower capital and operational expenditure; and two, the elimination of Scope 2 emissions. Today, cold energy is applied in several applications such as air separation units and cryogenic power generation.

SLNG intends to prioritise its available cold energy to support Singapore’s energy, chemicals and maritime sectors. The energy can potentially be used to liquefy carbon dioxide captured from these sectors, which could then eventually be sequestered or utilised in other ways.

The company is hopeful that in time to come, it can support both existing emitters as well as help advance the development of low-carbon emissions technologies and applications, via the use of its cold energy.

78

Cold energy from SLNG’s terminal operations could be used to support carbon capture and storage efforts.
