We see energy security being pursued through two different routes at once. PMO’s visit programme puts Qatar and the UAE beside Singapore’s economic resilience. EMA’s new Sweden statement puts grid links, hydrogen and ammonia into the same wider conversation, ahead of SIEW. These are different sources of resilience: relationships around fuel supply and cooperation around future power systems. Our emerging signal is that Singapore’s next energy story may be about making these routes work together. A visit does not deliver a cargo, and a forum does not connect a grid. Over the coming energy-week announcements, the useful clues are named projects, approvals, costs and working dates.","links":[]},{"id":"otr-slide-PDF-ae29e122216020b99c26d828-18-detail-2","url":"https://ontherice.org/signals/PDF-ae29e122216020b99c26d828-18/#otr-slide-PDF-ae29e122216020b99c26d828-18-detail-2","title":"The idea, step by step","topic":"evidence","kind":"research","text":"Follow the reasoning from the observations to the proposed result.
