A fragmented world will make it tougher for countries to band together to achieve their climate targets, the report noted, which means Singapore must resort to other means to decarbonise its energy mix, apart from relying on cooperative mechanisms such as clean energy imports.

For Singapore, a very important factor is the energy security that nuclear energy can provide

For Singapore, around 95 per cent of the city state’s electricity supply is dependent on natural gas imports from countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, making it vulnerable to crises in the global energy market and reliant on planet-warming fossil fuels.

There have been recent signs of promise as small modular reactor (SMR) designs and floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) are being developed that are more suitable for Singapore....very promising in terms of increased safety and require much less area around them to be of low population density
