Is Singapore considering the use of geothermal energy?
EMA is exploring the potential of harnessing geothermal energy in Singapore, following new developments in technology. If found to be feasible, geothermal energy could serve as a new and additional source of indigenous clean energy besides solar for power generation in Singapore.
As a small resource-constrained country, Singapore has limited renewable energy options and imports almost all of its energy needs. Conventional hydrothermal systems, which harness heat from underground resources of hot water and/or steam, may not be applicable to Singapore due to the lack of quality resources at shallower depths. However, advances in technology such as Advanced Geothermal Systems have opened up the possibility of geothermal application in Singapore, by harnessing heat from deep hot dry rock, with minimal impact to environment and safety.
