SG, AU to fund eight maritime decarbonisation projects

A $20m joint initiative will support the selected projects.

Australia and Singapore will fund eight projects under a $20m joint initiative to reduce emissions in the maritime sector.

The projects were selected from 32 applications submitted by universities, research institutes, and industry players from both countries.

Launched in July 2024, the Australia-Singapore Initiative on Low Emissions Technologies (ASLET) aims to accelerate the deployment of zero or near-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission technologies for maritime and port operations.

It is jointly delivered by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

The selected projects focus on innovations in hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol supply, transport, storage, and dispensing, as well as maritime utilisation, safety and environmental monitoring, and electrification.

They have also attracted co-contributions and are expected to be completed within two years.

ASLET also supports the Singapore-Australia Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC) in advancing the decarbonisation and digitisation of shipping routes between both countries.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
