Singapore's $90 million Decarbonisation Programme: Advancing Towards Net-Zero with Hydrogen and Green Technologies
Key Ideas
  • Singapore launches a $90 million Create Thematic Programme in Decarbonisation to research hydrogen utilization, green chemicals, and fuels like sustainable aviation fuel.
  • The program involves nine research projects spanning areas from hydrogen combustion technologies to synthetic biology, with collaboration from international experts.
  • It aims to contribute to Singapore's capacity in hydrogen utilization, combustion behaviors of zero-carbon fuel blends, and building ammonia-ready fuel cells for power generation.
  • Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy targets around 50% of the country's electricity mix to be from low-carbon hydrogen by 2050, with initiatives to decarbonize both electricity generation and industrial emissions.
Singapore has launched a $90 million Create Thematic Programme in Decarbonisation to focus on advancing research in areas like hydrogen utilization and the production of greener chemicals and fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel. The initiative aims to support Singapore's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 by exploring new low-carbon energy alternatives and green technologies. The programme, led by the National Research Foundation, comprises nine research projects over three to five years, involving collaborations with local universities, international partners, and experts from top institutes. The research domains cover various aspects such as hydrogen combustion technologies, green chemistry, synthetic biology, and chemical transformation for pharmaceutical applications. The programme also aims to enhance Singapore's capacity in hydrogen utilization and contribute insights on zero-carbon fuel combustion behaviors. The initiative aligns with Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy, emphasizing the potential use of low-carbon hydrogen in the country's energy mix. Additionally, Singapore is focusing on decarbonizing its industrial sector, particularly Jurong Island, through initiatives like the Sustainable Jurong Island plan to increase sustainable product output and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Institutes of higher learning are also actively involved in researching biofuels, carbon capture, and hydrogen technologies to support Singapore's sustainable development goals.
