Singapore's current energy mix does not include nuclear power, but it has not ruled out the possibility of adopting nuclear energy in the future. The country is set to launch a one-year research project to assess the feasibility of fourth-generation advanced nuclear technologies.
This comes on the heels of increasing collaborations with European and American countries in nuclear energy, signaling a potential move toward low-carbon nuclear power development.
Singapore seeks energy experts to study nuclear technologies
As the demand for electricity grows, driven by the expansion of energy-intensive industries such as data centers, the Singaporean government aims to meet carbon reduction goals while addressing rising power needs. To this end, it issued an open call for experts in nuclear energy late last year, seeking advice on advanced nuclear technologies.
