With the assistance of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and industry collaborators in Singapore and Japan, NTU Singapore is developing new technologies for the extraction of hydrogen from liquid organic hydrogen carriers.
Chiyoda Corporation, PSA Corporation, Sembcorp Industries, City Energy, Jurong Port, Singapore LNG Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation are among the partners working to power Singapore’s green energy future.
Liquid organic hydrogen carriers are adaptable media for renewable energy storage and transportation. As a result, the research project has the potential to enable more efficient and cost-effective hydrogen transport, which could contribute to the expansion of global hydrogen supply chains.
Mr Gan Kim Yong, Singapore’s Trade and Industry Minister, mentioned the project during this year’s Committee of Supply (COS) debate in Parliament, stating that it aims to contribute to the design of a cost-effective hydrogen supply chain network for Singapore.
The collaboration is made possible by a grant from the Singapore Government’s Low-Carbon Energy Research Funding Initiative (LCER FI), which was established to support research, development, and demonstration projects on low-carbon energy technology solutions.
Singapore’s investments in low-carbon energy solutions are part of the Singapore Energy Story and will help the country meet its goals under the Long-Term Low-Emissions Development Strategy and the Singapore Green Plan.
