City Energy and Senoko Energy embark on collaborative effort to support Singapore’s Green agenda; starting with the exploration of hydrogen opportunities

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 6 June 2023 – City Energy, Singapore’s sole provider and retailer of piped town gas for 160 years, and Senoko Energy, one of Singapore’s largest and most established energy companies, have joined forces in a momentous partnership to drive sustainable and eco-friendly energy initiatives. The two companies have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly study the technical and commercial feasibility of import and supply of hydrogen between City Energy and Senoko Energy’s facilities in Singapore.

City Energy and Senoko Energy will also explore other hydrogen-related opportunities, including green hydrogen, to meet the future demand for hydrogen power in Singapore.

Mr. Perry Ong, Chief Executive Officer of City Energy (王光枢, 城市能源总裁), said: “We are excited to partner with Senoko Energy to study ways to develop an efficient and reliable hydrogen supply chain into Senoko. This MoU represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide clean and sustainable energy to households and businesses for generations to come and supports Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy announced in October 2022 as a key decarbonisation pathway undergirding Singapore’s international climate commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.”

Mr. Eric Maka, President & CEO of Senoko Energy (首席执行官, 圣诺哥能源), said: “At Senoko Energy, promoting clean energy and energy efficiency is an ongoing endeavor. We are always looking at how we can play our part in supporting the transition to low carbon alternatives along with the production of cleaner and greener energy, all in tandem with Singapore’s Green Plan.

“We look forward to working with City Energy as the onboarding of hydrogen related technologies is very important for Singapore, which has a limited local supply of clean energy. Through our collective efforts and through the harnessing of both companies’ strengths and expertise, we hope to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen power and to help create a more sustainable future for all.”

Mr. Ralph Foong, Deputy Chief Executive (Energy Planning and Development), of the Energy Market Authority (冯永隆, 副局长, 能源规划与发展司, 能源市场管理局), said: “Collaboration between stakeholders to explore new solutions that can reduce carbon emissions in our power system is crucial in Singapore’s journey to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, while ensuring energy security. We are encouraged to see City Energy and Senoko Energy making this proactive effort to jointly explore opportunities with hydrogen. We look forward to the success of this initiative and to see how hydrogen can be optimised to accelerate Singapore’s energy transition.”

This MoU follows City Energy’s latest MoU on hydrogen feasibility studies with Gentari, the renewable energy arm of PETRONAS Malaysia; where both companies announced on 18 April 2023 to jointly conduct feasibility studies of a hydrogen supply chain from Malaysia to Singapore. This strategic initiative underscores City Energy’s dedication to fostering sustainable energy solutions and furthering the realization of a greener and more sustainable future.

In 2020, Senoko Energy significantly stepped up its sustainability efforts with the launch of SolarShare, a pilot project that introduced environmentally friendly peer-to-peer (P2P) trading of renewable energy.

SolarShare was driven by two key factors – Senoko Energy’s commitment to meet Singapore’s eco-friendly renewable energy demand and to empower Singaporeans with greater choices in their electricity consumption.

In 2021, Senoko Energy was awarded the National Environment Agency’s Energy Efficiency National Partnership Award for its gas turbine upgrade in two of its combined cycle plants. Through the successful upgrade of its gas turbines using advanced technologies, Senoko Energy improved the thermal efficiency of its combined cycle plants, resulting in about 15,000 tonnes of reduction in carbon emissions annually. This is equivalent to taking more than 4,500 cars off the road a year.

WIN NFT HERO V2.1 Open Beta Launches with a Million-Dollar Prize Pool for S1

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 6 June 2023 – WIN NFT HERO is a TRON-based strategy game that combines GameFi and NFTs, providing players with full ownership of their in-game NFT assets, including heroes and equipment. It is viewed to be the blockchain version of Teamfight Tactics (TFT), where players strategically position the heroes based on their abilities to secure victories in battles.

370246-image_1.png

According to the official announcement, WIN NFT HERO v2.1 Open Beta Test was launched on June 1, 2023. To elevate the game’s impact and growth to new heights, the WIN NFT HERO team plans to kick off Season 1 on June 15, 2023, with a staggering $1 million prize pool for the contestants.

S1 Launches with a Million-Dollar Prize Pool

Season 1 of WIN NFT HERO will feature generous token rewards, including $NFT, $WIN, and WNH, along with rare NFT assets. The grand prize pool for S1 is expected to exceed $1 million in value, making this opportunity too good to miss for Web3 gaming enthusiasts.

WIN NFT HERO S1 adopts a thrilling new point-based PvP ranking system, and all battles will take place in the arena. To engage in PvP combat, players need to have three N-level or higher quality heroes and click on “Arena” on the left panel of the home screen or locate the NPC Emily within the in-game town. In this mode, players will be ranked by their total points earned, which is calculated using a point system that awards points for a win and deducts points for a loss.

S1 for WIN NFT HERO will last for 60 days. At the end of the season, WIN NFT HERO will distribute $NFT and $WIN, alongside NFT rewards to each player based on their final points tally. But that’s not all–as part of S1, WIN NFT HERO will host related events to reward participants with WNH tokens.

All-New Economic Model

In April 2023, WIN NFT HERO unveiled its much-anticipated v2.0 release and a fresh hero system, offering players an expanded range of options and strategic possibilities in composing their hero lineups. Building upon the existing gameplay, version 2.1 of the game introduces a novel economic model, a PvP ranking mode, and updated game rules.

In WIN NFT HERO’s new economic model, $NFT and $WIN are the main circulating assets. These tokens can be used to level up heroes and trade in-game assets, giving players a competitive edge in battles. Valuable rewards, including $NFT and $WIN, are also up for grabs when players participate in in-game competitions, events, and complete specific tasks.

Season events are also an essential component of the game’s economic model. In the upcoming S1, players will be able to fully immerse themselves in the strategy-based battles and experience the thrill of “Play to Earn” through fair competition.

Optimized Player Experience

WIN NFT HERO stands out from its peers in that it places more emphasis on players’ experience. Its launch of the NFT transfer function in April 2023 allows players to transfer their NFTs into the game from wallet, where they can engage in a variety of actions free of gas fee, including synthesis, trading, and training. Going forward, WIN NFT HERO plans to further axe TRON players’ transaction costs in the official marketplace.

To remain relevant to players in this ever-evolving realm of Web3, it is necessary for Web3 games to create fresh game content at a higher speed and with greater stability. As a flagship GameFi product in the TRON ecosystem, WIN NFT HERO will redouble its efforts to provide a sounder economic model and more variety of gameplay.

New players who don’t want to miss Season 1 starting on June 15 can get engaged in WIN NFT HERO v2.1 Open Beta Test to learn about the new game rules and the tactical strategies to match the best hero lineup. Additionally, WIN NFT HERO has rolled out a number of community events recently, where new players have the opportunity to win rewards including rare NFTs and game props.
