Sumitomo energy innovation initiative director Hajime Mori said: “We are delighted to cooperate not only on Ammonia bunkering but Ammonia business opportunities in Singapore with Keppel O&M. In line with our basic environment policy that aims to make the Sumitomo Corporation Group carbon neutral in 2050, we would like to pursue this business with Keppel O&M group to achieve our common goal.”
