Look at the general trend: lead other industries to bring business opportunities energ
In the second half of last year, the news of the Petroleum Factory's Shell Group was brewing from selling the Singaporean refinery, which attracted the attention of many people.Coupled with the 28th UN Climate Change Conference, the world has gradually escaped from fossil fuel. Energy and chemistry as a large carbon exhaustist are at the cusp.In this issue, we will look at the general trend of the transformation plan of Singapore's energy and chemistry, the relevant deployment of the business community, and the relevant trend of regional and international.
The Jurong Island, located outside the western shore of Singapore and merged from seven islands, is synonymous with Singapore's energy and chemistry.There are more than 100 global leading companies on the island, with more than 18,000 employees, and most of Singapore's energy and chemical output comes from this island.
In addition, Mao Guangdao near Jurong Island and the island's priests and Jurong are also settled in the place where the industry is settled.There are also more than 500 other engineering service companies that have built and maintain factories for energy and chemicals to hire tens of thousands of employees. In terms of sustainable development, these companies have increasing pressure on customers.

Energy and chemistry account for 3 % of Singapore's GDP and about 20 % of the total output value of the manufacturing industry. It hires about 27,000 people to attract huge investment and provide many high -value job opportunities for Singapore.Singapore is the world's top ten chemical export centers and one of the world's five major refining export centers, reflecting the competitiveness of Singapore's energy and chemistry.
It also brings business opportunities to other industries, such as trade.Therefore, Singapore's next decades of emission reduction has involved a great interest relationship between chemistry and overall economy.Energy and chemistry reduction transformation is valued, not only because they are large carbon discharge, but also because they have the ability and technology, and can help other industries reduce emission reduction.
Chen Zhirong, executive vice president of the Singapore Economic Development Bureau, said in an interview with Lianhe Morning Post: "We are actively dialogue with energy transformation projects and opportunities with energy and chemical companies, and pay attention to their partners as our energy transformation journey.Many of them have long -term cooperative relationships with Singapore, and have the ability to realize the green world, such as emerging low -carbon technology development, carbon capture and utilization, and storage.Innovative solutions in hydrogen and other fields.
The Economic Development Bureau has formulated the "Jurong Island of Sustainable Development" in 2021 to transform it into a sustainable energy and chemical industry park, which gradually shifts to operate in a sustainable manner, and exports to global exports more.Sustainable products.

Chen Zhirong said: "As the cornerstone of Singapore's energy and chemistry, Jurong Island must maintain competitiveness and lead the industry transformation to seize the opportunity of green growth. Our vision is that by 2050, this industry's sustainable products in this industry areThe output will increase four times compared to the 2019 level, and the carbon emission reduction of more than 6 million tons per year is achieved through low -carbon solutions.The needs of consumers are expected to be a place that is more attractive to green investment.

At present, investment activities in this industry are still good.He said: "We continue to see a good investment flow from energy and chemical companies. These companies are eager to expand global influence, enhance new capabilities to seize the opportunity of green growth in the region, and transform business to conform to the sustainable environmental development of the environment.Requirement. "
For example, Finland's Neste (Neste) has recently expanded in the factory of the prince, the world's largest sustainable aviation fuel factory.The biological factory of French Chemical Corporation Arkema will be built on Jurong Island, which uses sustainable materials to produce high -performance polymers.The special chemistry industry will continue to have more investment opportunities, and more energy will have more decarburized and biofuel investment.
According to Xu Zhilin, the director of the Energy and Chemical Group of Jurong Group, most of them are still in its infancy due to the business and technological progress required by Singapore's net zero vision, and most of them are still in their infancy, so the continuous cooperation of the entire ecosystem is critical.One of the collaborations is the 2019 Jurong Island Circular Economic Research, led by Yolong Group. The 51 companies and six government agencies participating in this study evaluate the use of water and energy, emissions and waste.
Jurong Group launched collaborative innovation in 2021. For example, the Jutong Island Innovation Challenge, which aims to strengthen resource reinstation, and solicit suggestions for the Jurong Island Renewable Energy Topics, showing that the business community is committed to pioneering renewable energy sources to create renewable energy sourcesSolution of power generation, energy storage systems and low -carbon technology.
Jurong Group also expands solar power generation capabilities on Jurong Island. By 2025, the power generation capacity will increase by nearly five times compared to the current 142.2 MMB tiles.The Group also plans to support the installation of solar light boards on the island company.Two Singapore power plant operators built two power plants that can use hydrogen fuel on the island.
Ernarous (EY) Petroleum and Natural Gas (Asia -Pacific) head of Sanjeev Gupta, director of Sanjeev Gupta, pointed out that the Energy Market Administration predicts that by 2050, Singapore's energy structure will beMainly low hydrogen."If this goal is achieved, Singapore, as the world's major energy transactions, refining and distribution centers in the world, will have the unique positioning of early adopters of green hydrogen, and will be able to be able to have long -term replacement technology and supervision of hydrogen hydrogen hydrogen hydride compounds in regions and internationallyThe formulation of standards, exert an important influence "
The industry formulates carbon policy goals to create a sustainable environment

Energy Giant Slim Shell Group is in the newGalto has been in business for 130 years, but today's global situation has forced it to conduct a strategic review of the assets of Energy and Chemical Park in Maoguang Island and Jurong Island in Singapore, and made $ 4.5 billion (about 60 in the fourth quarter of the past fourth quarter (about 60The huge loss of 100 million yuan) is mainly related to Singaporean refining and petrochemical plants that are considering from selling off.However, no matter whether the industry is in the same as observers, as the observer is brewing to abandon the business that does not make money, the transformation journey of this industry is expected to continue.
Exxonmobil announced last December that it will seek low emission investment opportunities of more than $ 20 billion by 2027; Chevron has promised to make 100 from now to 2028 to 2028Investment in low -carbon in 100 million US dollars and reduce the carbon strength of the business by 5 %.
THOMAS LUEDI, a partner of Bain Company, believes that one of the comprehensive refineries in Singapore will only lead to changes in ownership even if they are sold, and it is expected that the refinery will continue to operate.Due to the decontamination target and cost pressure of petrochemical companies, the industry will be committed to improving asset efficiency and sustainability. By applying creatures or low -carbon raw materials, improving process efficiency, and using low -carbon energy, it is expected that the carbon intensity of each production unit will continue to decreaseEssence
The government cooperates with the industry to promote the effort of Mao Hiroshima's emission reduction
If the shell is only available for sale in the refinery or some business on the island, it will change the situation of only a company in Maowai Island in Singapore for a long time.The shell has released a plan to turn Maoguishima to the low -carbon value chain, which should reduce the production capacity of crude oil and reduce carbon emissions significantly.According to informed people, no matter who owns the refinery, the government will continue to cooperate with the industry to promote emission reduction efforts.
A spokesman for Shell Company reiterated when they were questioned that the company supports the results of COP28 and will continue to support the Paris Agreement.The spokesman said: "The shell is still committed to becoming a net zero -emission energy enterprise by 2050. By formulating effective policies with the governments of various countries, we can help consumers turn demand to low -carbon products and develop infrastructure that promote energy transformation.And technology.
For example, Singapore's first full electric ferry launched by Shell last April.The shell is also the pioneer of the Singapore's electric vehicle charging industry.
As for Exxon Mobil, its team in Singapore provides customers with fuel, lubricating oil, petrochemical products and liquefied natural gas. This manufacturing base has been investing in energy -saving facilities and adopting measures that help reduce emissions.
The chairman of ExxonMobil Asia Pacific and executive chairman Chen Ailing revealed: "Exxon Mobil has announced the opportunity of multiple carbon cavia and storage (CCS) opportunities in the world.Progress, we are studying the potential of a regional CCS center. This center will capture carbon dioxide generated by the entire Southeast Asian heavy industrial activity, including carbon dioxide generated by the ExMobil Singapore business.
Another Energy Giant Chevron has launched a business in Singapore since 1933. Singapore is now the regional headquarters of Chevron's oil, products and natural gas business in Asia, and has played a key role in the Group's global operations.Chevron's Asia -Pacific headquarters established a new energy business in Singapore in 2021 to accelerate the efforts of energy transformation in Singapore and Asia Pacific.Last year, in the world's largest ship in Singapore, Chevron became the second largest vessel bio -fuel supplier.
Liu Dawei, chairman of the Chevron Singapore, said: "By striving to reduce the intensity of carbon we operating, and to develop low -carbon business in renewable fuel, hydrogen, CCUS, carbon compensation and geothermal,New growth opportunities brought by Singapore and the Asia -Pacific region are excited. "
He believes that the energy transformation policy is clear, coherent, pragmatic, and market -based government -based governments will successfully cooperate with the private sector to attract investment to build a low -carbon economy.
Xu Li, executive director of the Singapore Chemical Industry Council (SCIC), pointed out that the industry fully supports various measures adopted by the government, including the introduction of the carbon tax system in 2019."However, this promise must also consider the development of the climate policy in this region and weigh the competitiveness of various places. Through the cooperation between the industry and the government, we can create a sustainable environment to formulate a reasonable and stable carbon policy goal.Keep our competitiveness at the same time "
The Singapore Petrochemical Enterprise Association (ASPRI) pointed out that the members of the association are engineering companies serving energy and chemistry. How they will integrate into the continuous development of the energy supply chain, there is a certain degree of uncertainty.In view of the fact that operators face the increasing pressure of customers in sustainable development and increasingly important collective collaboration, ASPRI is considering the establishment of a "process center". As a central resource sharing platform for process operators, it aims to promote scale economy and joint innovation.
Attracting Sustainable Development Investment International Competition cannot be underestimated
In terms of attracting sustainable development investment, the international and regional competition situation cannot be ignored.Among them, the US Congress passed the previous year's reduction of inflation bills.
Chen Rongzhi pointed out that this bill allows the United States to provide a lot of generous support for companies that want to invest more sustainable technology, which makes countries who want to attract such investment face more competition.But another advantage is that this can actually help accelerate the development of scientific and technological development in these fields so as to be able to commercialize earlier.This will not only benefit American companies, but also benefit the world.
According to people familiar with the matter, Singapore also has plans to support enterprises from decarburizing, and is the first Southeast Asian country to implement carbon taxes.Carbon tax provides additional incentives or motivation for enterprises interested in decarburizing, not only because the company can save taxes, but also because the carbon tax will be used to fund enterprises, invest in improving energy efficiency and other decarbon technology.
Regional countries also compete to attract such investment, such as sustainable aviation fuel production projects.But Chen Rongzhi said that from another perspective, with the participation of more companies, this will benefit the development of the supply chain, especially in terms of sustainable raw materials.
In addition, Chen Rongzhi pointed out that the Indonesian and Malaysian governments are trying to become a carbon capture storage center in this region because they have geological conditions, such as exhausting oil and gas fields.Singapore does not have such venues, but if neighboring countries develop this venue and economical affordable, at least some carbon emissions in Singapore can be stored there.
Chen Rongzhi said: "Singapore has never had the advantage of raw materials. It has been the case since the establishment of Singapore's first refinery in 1961, but Singapore still attracts such huge investment projects. This is because of Singapore's logistics connection.The people's capabilities and the stable and good operating environment required for large investment projects.
He believes that more sustainable energy and chemistry after the transformation will continue to become a attractive growth industry in Singapore, because, with the continuous promotion of the middle class, by 2026, Southeast Asia is expected to consume new global additions worldwide49 % of petrochemical production capacity, the demand for fuel will continue to grow until 2050.In addition, chemicals are actually very important for the low -carbon economy system, because they need to use them to make lighter and advanced plastics for solar panels, wind turbine blades, building insulation and electric vehicle parts.
According to the Global Outlook Report of ExxonMobil, the world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion by 2050.At the same time, the global GDP per capita domestic product is also expected to increase by about 85 %.Chen Ailing said: "These macro trends will lead to the increase in demand for various products including energy and petrochemical products," said.
