March 30 (Reuters) - Five companies from Singapore and two
from Japan have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
to explore hydrogen as a low-carbon alternative to power
Singapore's energy future, the companies said in a statement on
Monday.
    Under the MoU, Singapore's PSA Corporation  TEMSHN.UL ,
Jurong Port Pte Ltd, City Gas Pte Ltd, Sembcorp Industries
 SCIL.SI  and Singapore LNG Corporation Pte Ltd, will develop
ways to utilize hydrogen as a green energy source alongside

technologies related to the importation, transportation and

'SPERA Hydrogen', Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier technology for
the transportation of hydrogen in chemical tankers at normal
temperature and pressure levels, the release said.
