Singapore's ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Market Authority has appointed UK-headquartered engineering firm Mott MacDonald to conduct a study on the safety and technical feasibility of advanced nuclear energy technologies.

Nuclear energy could help Singapore's power sector achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, according to a new report from the island city-state's ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Market Authority. It says nuclear energy could supply around 10% of Singapore's energy needs.

Nuclear power remains an option for the city-state of Singapore, despite a current focus on increasing security of gas imports and managing power demand. Minister for trade and industry S Iswaran said investment will continue "to learn and understand the technology".

Deployment of nuclear power is not on the agenda for Singapore at the moment, delegates at the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Nuclear Fuel Cycle conferenceÌýin the city heard this week. The island city-state has few options for low-carbon power.
