Global industrial gases and engineering company Linde announced has signed a long-term agreement to supply green hydrogen to Evonik, a leading specialty chemicals company.
Linde will build, own and operate a nine-megawatt alkaline electrolyzer plant on Jurong Island, Singapore. The plant will produce green hydrogen, which Evonik will use to manufacture methionine, an essential component in animal feed. The new supply agreement supports the planned expansion of Evonik’s existing facility and will help Evonik limit its greenhouse gas emissions in Singapore.
In addition to supplying Evonik, Linde will use the Jurong Island electrolyzer plant to supply the local merchant market with green hydrogen in response to growing demand. The new plant is expected to come on stream in 2024 and will be the largest electrolyzer ever installed in Singapore.
The project aligns with Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy and Singapore’s goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
