Singapore’s SLNG Terminal receives first ISCC EU-certified bio-LNG cargo

Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd (SLNG) and Shell Singapore Pte Ltd (Shell) on Friday (9 October) announced the successful import of an ISCC EU-certified bio-LNG cargo into Singapore, following the arrival of the LNG tanker Macoma at the SLNG Terminal. 

The ISCC EU-certified biomethane was sourced from the USA and mass-balanced via the pipeline to a liquefaction plant, into a conventional LNG cargo supplied by Shell for delivery to Singapore. 

Along with SLNG’s ISCC EU-certification readiness for onshore infrastructure services, including storage, regasification, send-out, bunkering and trucking, the import supports the development of a recognised and robust end-to-end certification trail. 

“This will help build confidence among end-users in Singapore as they assess adopting bio-LNG to meet decarbonisation goals across sectors such as power generation, maritime transportation and LNG trucking,” the companies said in a statement. 

The milestone marked an important step forward in Singapore’s exploration of biomethane as a lower-carbon energy solution. 

It demonstrates the practical feasibility of bringing certified renewable gas into Singapore through existing LNG infrastructure, covering sourcing, certification, transportation, discharge and storage.

Leong Wei Hung, Chief Executive Officer of SLNG, said: “Bio-LNG is an important pathway that can contribute significantly and within a relatively short timeframe, to both decarbonisation and energy security for Singapore and many other parts of the world. 

“However, a strong foundation in end-to-end certification and recognition is needed, across the LNG ecosystem, for it to reach its full potential. SLNG is playing our part to enable the bio-LNG ecosystem and has taken the first step to ensure our terminal is ISCC EU-certified and ready to support all customers.”

SLNG Terminal is among the first in the region to be ISCC EU-certified to receive and handle bio-LNG, including for storage, regasification and send-out, bunkering and trucking services. 

It is working closely with partners to exchange and implement best practices in bio-LNG certification and accounting, across the upstream-to-terminal value chain. Such collaborations will further strengthen end-user confidence and enable future market adoption, the companies said.
