SLNG, Keppel plan NGL facility in Singapore
Singapore LNG Corp (SLNG) and Keppel Infrastructure will work together on the front end engineering design (Feed) for a natural gas liquids (NGL) extraction facility at the SLNG terminal on Jurong Island, they said on July 28.
"The project will unlock multiple benefits across the LNG and chemicals value chains, adopting a sustainable approach towards enhancing Singapore’s Energy Security and strengthening its position as an LNG and chemicals hub," they said.

“The design of the facility will adopt a sustainable approach, specifically through incorporating the use of cold energy from the SLNG Terminal’s operations in the extraction process – which can lead to significant carbon abatement,” the companies added.
The NGL extracted could be delivered to Singapore’s chemicals complexes, including those on Jurong Island, to be used as a competitive feedstock in the manufacture of various chemical-based products.
“This project is a positive outcome of the Jurong Island Circular Economy Study, led by JTC to explore utilisation of cold energy on the island. It will contribute to Jurong Island’s transformation into a sustainable energy and chemicals park, as outlined in the Singapore Green Plan 2030,” they said.
