Singapore has adopted a new solar goal of 4 GW by 2035, layered on top of a prior 3 GW target for 2030, pv magazine reported.

As of October, the country counted 2.3 GW of solar in operation, and the Energy Market Authority (EMA) considers Singapore well positioned to meet its 2030 goal, according to pv magazine.

To lift deployment further, the EMA opened a tender pooling solar demand from government agencies across public sites, covering solar carports and building-integrated PV, pv magazine reported.

Algeria has switched on a 300 MW solar project, according to pv magazine. The plant sits in the eastern province of El Oued and ranks as the country's largest operational PV project to date, pv magazine reported.

The project is owned by Sonelgaz, Algeria's state-owned electricity and gas utility, according to pv magazine.

The El Oued site forms part of the first phase of the Algerian government's national program for the development of renewable energy, which targets around 3.2 GW of renewables capacity, pv magazine reported.

A*STAR, Singapore's public sector research agency, and Amogy said the company will run its ammonia-cracking technology at the Low-Carbon Technology Translational Testbed, backed by the Singapore Economic Development Board.

The installation is scheduled for 2027, when Amogy plans to run the module under industrial operating conditions. The unit is sized to make up to one ton of hydrogen a day.

Amogy will supply its reformer and catalyst systems and take charge of project execution, according to the two parties. The company and A*STAR also agreed to jointly develop lower-cost catalysts aimed at cutting the cost of ammonia-based hydrogen production.
