Singapore LNG (SLNG) and Linde Public Limited Company (Linde) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the feasibility and development of a carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction and storage facility near the SLNG Terminal on Jurong Island, Singapore. Under the project, the companies will liquefy CO2 using cold energy generated by the SLNG Terminal’s operations. The partnership will leverage Linde’s and SLNG’s combined expertise in carbon capture, liquefaction and cryogenic storage. Onsite storage tanks will be used to house the liquefied CO2 produced before it is transported for end use.
If the concept is found to be feasible, this will be the first such facility in Southeast Asia (SEA), which will trap CO2 that would otherwise be released into the environment. The project’s initial objective will be to liquefy, store, and transport CO2 for the project’s partners, however, operations can be expanded in the future to handle CO2 from other sources, using an open access, multi-user model.
