Woodside Energy and Keppel Data Centres have entered a non-binding Heads of Agreement (HOA) to study the feasibility of supplying liquid hydrogen from Woodside’s facilities, including the proposed H2Perth, to Singapore. The HOA sets the stage for joint development of commercial principles for hydrogen supply chain agreements, potentially providing Keppel Data Centres with around 1000 tpd of liquid hydrogen by 2030.
Hydrogen supply could benefit Keppel’s data centres, like the planned Datapark+, by reducing carbon emissions. Woodside Executive VP of New Energy, Shaun Gregory, highlighted Woodside’s expertise in cooling, storing, and transporting large gas volumes, contributing to decarbonization goals and supporting the Singapore-Australia Green Economy Agreement.
At the HOA signing in Singapore, Woodside Executive Vice President New Energy, Mr Shaun Gregory, pointed to Woodside’s proven track record as an energy supplier to the region and its liquid hydrogen experience being developed through its work on the proposed H2OK project for the US domestic market, as well as H2Perth.
“Woodside has more than 30 years’ experience cooling, storing and transporting large volumes of gas. Liquefying hydrogen provides the opportunity to export energy that can contribute to the decarbonisation goals of customers and provide an economic and trade opportunity that supports the Singapore-Australia Green Economy Agreement” he said.

Mr Wong Wai Meng, CEO of Keppel Data Centres, said: “We are investing to create a sustainable future for data centres through innovative lower-carbon solutions. Access to a stable supply of hydrogen to power our data centres in Singapore will accelerate our decarbonisation efforts as we transition towards net zero emissions. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Woodside to explore ways to reduce emissions and make a positive environmental impact.”
