Singapore launches $90m research programme for hydrogen use, sustainable chemicals

The programme will be hosted by the National University of Singapore (NUS).

The National Research Foundation (NRF) will be investing $90 million into a new research programme that aims to boost Singapore’s decarbonisation efforts, including building its capacity in hydrogen utilisation.

Dubbed CREATE Thematic Programme in Decarbonisation, its focus areas include carbon conversion and utilisation, using carbon dioxide and non-fossil fuel-based feedstocks to produce commodity chemicals like biofuels and specialty chemicals.

It is also expected to contribute to building the city-state’s hydrogen utlisation as well as develop new research on the combustion behaviors of zero-carbon fuel blends.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) will be hosting the programme, in collaboration with partners of CREATE.

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.
