Artificial intelligence boom jumps to ask liquid gas in Singapore
Singapore will see a brief increase in demand for LNG due to the mutation of artificial intelligence that leads the growth of databases, according to state -owned Fuel Infort Company. Singapore LNG CEO Lyong Wei Hong said the digital world “raises a big demand for energy.” The increase in the request is an ‘opportunity for energy production companies’, but ‘the necessary infrastructure for this year cannot be built with sufficient speed’, according to Lyng’s statements during an interview last night. The revival of data and artificial intelligence centers has overcome the ability of some regions in the world to provide electricity. In this context, huge technology companies such as “Amazon” and “Microsoft” promised to invest billions of dollars in databases in Southeast Asia. The Singapore government seeks to increase the amount of electricity assigned to data centers by up to 35%. Singapore LNG was founded in 2009 by the country’s energy market with the aim of developing and operating the only liquid natural gas importing station in the country. It is expected that a second station at the end of the contract will enter the service “to enter into the expected question”, according to Lyong. The leap in electricity consumption will make it difficult for Singapore to remove carbon from its network. The state depends on imported gas to meet about 95% of its electrical needs, but the options for the development of renewable energy are limited due to the lack of spaces. Instead, Singapore intends to import green energy from his neighbors, and to ensure 6 GB by 2035 imported energy, which will meet about half of its total electricity needs. Lyong said he is optimistic that liquid natural gas will continue to play a role in Singapore, as the world is heading for cleaner energy sources. He concluded: “The world must go to renewable energy sources, but its cost is still very high.” He added: “While we are waiting for a decrease in the cost of renewable energy to reasonable levels, liquid natural gas should be the alternative.”
