- Research at the centre will cover carbon capture, utilisation, storage, and automated catalyst production using robotics.
- The center's work will also involve developing processes for cracking ammonia to produce hydrogen.
- Key figures at the launch included NUS President, Temasek representatives, and the CHI director guiding researchers.
The NUS Centre for Hydrogen Innovations was officially launched with a focus on advancing hydrogen-related research and technology. The launch event was attended by Dr Tan See Leng, the Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry, alongside prominent figures like NUS President Professor Tan Eng Chye and Mr Russell Tham from Temasek. The center, led by Prof Yan Ning, will concentrate on developing novel catalysts for hydrogen production, particularly in the cracking of ammonia. Researchers at the CHI will delve into areas such as carbon capture, utilisation, and storage to contribute to sustainable energy solutions. One of the significant aspects of the center's work will be the use of cutting-edge robotic synthesis for automated catalyst production. The collaboration between NUS and Temasek signifies a commitment to fostering innovation in hydrogen technologies. The launch marks a significant step towards advancing Singapore's capabilities in the hydrogen sector, aiming to address environmental challenges and drive energy transition.
