Portfolio optimisation sharpens focus on core gas platform and positions H2G to capture rising LNG demand in Asia
SINGAPORE, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- H2G Green Limited (SGX: 5AI) ("H2G" or the "Company") announced that it has served written notice to RD Property Holdings Pte. Ltd. to divest its entire 50.10% stake in Green Energy Investment Holding Private Limited ("GEIH") at approximately S$4 million, marking a significant milestone in the Company's strategic transformation. The move underscores H2G's commitment to optimising its portfolio, enhancing capital efficiency, and accelerating growth in its core business — GasHubUnited Utility Private Limited ("GasHub") and its business in liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and bio-liquefied natural gas ("Bio-LNG").
The divestment reflects H2G's disciplined focus on scalable, high-impact opportunities. While renewable energy remains an important component of the global energy transition, H2G believes that LNG and Bio-LNG will continue to play a critical role as transition to sustainable fuels, particularly in Asia, where demand remains robust, and energy security is a growing priority. This strategic direction is also aligned with Singapore's Green Plan 2030[1] and broader government policies supporting a pragmatic and resilient energy transition – balancing security, affordability, and sustainability[2].
H2G's accelerated focus on GasHub and its LNG/Bio-LNG business comes at a critical time for regional energy markets. Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have caused unprecedented disruptions, sending traditional industrial fuels such as diesel to sharply higher prices. While LNG experienced short-term volatility, it remains a more stable and cost-effective alternative, strengthening GasHub's position as industrial users shift away from diesel. Supported by IEA forecasts pointing to an expected increase in regional natural gas demand by 4% in 2026[3], Asia will remain the primary driver of this growth. Singapore has also identified that, in the medium term, natural gas will continue to anchor Singapore's energy mix[4].
"Today's announcement reflects our disciplined approach to capital allocation and continued focus on delivering shareholder value," said Mr Andrew Mak Yen‑Chen, Non‑Executive Chairman and Independent Director of H2G. "The divestment of GEIH enables us to concentrate resources on businesses that are more closely aligned with H2G's core capabilities and that offer a clearer path to value creation. We continue to believe that LNG and sustainable Bio‑LNG will play a critical role in Asia's energy transition, given ongoing demand growth and energy security considerations. We are confident that GasHub and our LNG platform offer compelling long-term growth potential."
H2G said it is accelerating the expansion of its LNG portfolio across Asia to meet rising demand for reliable, low-carbon fuels driven by industrial decarbonisation efforts. Backed by proceeds from the GEIH divestment, the Company is scaling GasHub's midstream and last-mile logistics network to provide a stable, cost-effective and cleaner alternative to diesel amid heightened global fuel price volatility. H2G added the strategy is expected to enhance shareholder returns, expand its LNG utilities footprint and strengthen its position in Asia's industrial energy transition.

H2G Announces Strategic Shift with Divestment of GEIH to Accelerate GasHub and LNG Growth
SYDNEY, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- James Pinch, Managing Director of KuCoin in Australia, was invited to speak at Digital Economy Conference (DECON) 2026 in Sydney, joining Ashima Chaudhary, Vice President at Mastercard Australia, for a fireside chat titled "From Programmable Money to Everyday Commerce: Unlocking the Next Payment Era." Moderated by Yasmine Amani, Head of Account Management at Banking Circle, the session explored how fiat, cards, stablecoins and digital assets are converging through multi-rail infrastructure to support the next phase of global commerce.
Representing KuCoin, Pinch shared how exchanges are evolving beyond trading platforms into infrastructure providers connecting liquidity, payments, and stablecoins to real-world utility. Drawing from nearly two decades of experience in financial services and digital assets, he noted that KuCoin's approach in Australia reflects a broader global strategy: building responsibly within evolving regulatory frameworks while connecting KuCoin's global product suite with the licensing, compliance and operating standards required in each market.
Pinch noted that the launch of KuCard in Australia reflects the ongoing evolution of digital asset adoption. For eligible users, KuCard enables supported crypto assets to be used more seamlessly for everyday spending through Mastercard's global network, delivering a familiar payment experience while helping integrate digital assets into established consumer payment habits.
"Crypto does not succeed by remaining just an investment; it succeeds by morphing to also encompass other real world use cases like payment methods. Our role is to build an ecosystem where people talk about the technology less and simply use it for everyday life - like paying for coffee or bills - just as they do with a traditional bank card today," said Pinch.
The discussion also addressed trust, compliance, security and consumer protection as core requirements for mainstream adoption. Pinch emphasized that as digital assets become more embedded within the broader financial system, strong governance, regulatory engagement and resilient infrastructure will remain essential to building long-term trust. He also highlighted KuCoin's significant investment in highly skilled cybersecurity and infrastructure expertise, noting that protecting users and maintaining resilient systems must remain a top priority for major platforms, as it does for KuCoin.
Looking ahead, Pinch said artificial intelligence will be one of the key forces shaping the next stage of digital finance, particularly as commerce, payments and financial decision-making become increasingly automated. He pointed to KuCoin's ongoing investment in crypto-native AI initiatives, saying, "When we look at an e-commerce business now, anyone can buy a domain, anyone can set up a website, and they can find a supplier. Where we start to see this fall apart is when we look at the payment function of this automation. It is not possible or at least very difficult to automate around fiat banking for this purpose, as it incurs delays and a range of other challenges, this is where KuCoin plays a unique role in this adaptation of disruptive technology." Which is exactly what KuCoin has taken on, designing systems that support how users, developers and intelligent agents access market intelligence, on-chain information and crypto capabilities.
Pinch concluded that over the next three to five years, crypto payments may become less visible as a technology and more natural as a financial behaviour, with KuCard truly leading the way. "KuCard as a product, I think we talk about it less, right? If you think about just a typical card payment, no one talks about using the card and how they have a CBA card or how it's a Mastercard. They just pay for a coffee, they pay the bills, whatever it may be. And we might abbreviate it when it comes to crypto, but we'll stop talking about it, "said Pinch.
