CSIRO's ASLET Initiative: Advancing Low Emissions Technologies in Australia and Singapore's Maritime Sector
Key Ideas
- Australia and Singapore have jointly selected eight projects for funding as part of a $20 million initiative to reduce emissions in the maritime sector.
- The projects focus on accelerating the deployment of zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emission technologies like hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, as well as safety and environmental monitoring.
- The initiative, led by CSIRO and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, aims to support the Green and Digital Shipping Corridor to enhance decarbonisation and digitisation of shipping routes.
- The selected projects are expected to be completed within the next two years and have received co-contributions from various stakeholders.
The Australia-Singapore Initiative on Low Emissions Technologies (ASLET) has selected eight projects for funding as part of a $20 million initiative to reduce emissions in the maritime sector. The initiative supports the objectives of the Singapore and Australia Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC) to accelerate decarbonisation and digitisation of shipping routes. The projects will focus on accelerating the deployment of zero or near-zero greenhouse gas emission technologies such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, along with safety and environmental monitoring. Led by CSIRO and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, this collaboration aims to drive sustainable practices in the maritime industry. The selected projects, which received a total of 32 applications, are expected to be completed within the next two years. The ASLET initiative aims to support research, innovation, and technology development in the maritime sector, emphasizing decarbonisation and digitalisation efforts.
