Singapore will invest S$25 billion – or 1 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP) – in research, innovation and enterprise for the next five years. The Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2025 Plan (RIE2025), announced by Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat at a press conference on Friday (Dec 11), includes a new national programme

Above picture: Schematic illustrating the flexible nature of the new cooling technology, in which liquid cooled racks co-exist in the same data hall as air cooled racks; thus requiring little or no infrastructure changes and additional capital expenditure. Researchers led by NUS Mechanical Engineering and CERT Director Associate Professor Lee Poh Seng have developed a

In Oct 2019, the SgEC had awarded 6 core projects in the broad area of energy, specifically on the topic of decarbonization for this tranche. These projects are expected to begin in Jan 2020 and be completed by 2021. Findings from these projects will help to catalyze a broad range of technologies to capture existing

The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have launched a joint research centre to develop sustainable energy solutions to overcome the global energy challenges of the future. The Singapore Energy Centre (SgEC) is a consortium funded by industry members which leverages the combined expertise and capabilities of the two

Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Chan Chun Sing, at the Opening Ceremony of the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) on 30 October 2018, announced the formation of the Cooling Energy Science and Technology Singapore (CoolestSG) Consortium. CoolestSG, which is hosted in NUS, will develop and accelerate the deployment and commercialisation of cooling technologies, which

1.“Why Batteries Explodes” When a lithium-ion battery is being charged, the ions move from the positive to the negative electrode at a fairly high voltage of 3.7 volts – much higher than the 1.5 volts in a typical alkaline battery. These ions move through a liquid electrolyte which is highly flammable – and that is

  Memorandum of Understanding signed with ExxonMobil for its participation as the centre’s first founding member. National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and will be launching the new Singapore Energy Centre in early 2019 to explore innovative ideas and develop talent to meet future energy needs in Asia Pacific. The

Held at University Town from 29 to 30 August 2017, the sustainABLE NUS Showcase was NUS’ inaugural event to highlight actions that the University is taking to transform NUS into a greener campus, as well as the University’s efforts in research and education to meet sustainability challenges of today and the future. Organised by the

National University of Singapore Centre for Energy Research and Technology (NUS-CERT) is partnering Clean Energy Research Centre (TP-CERC) of Temasek Polytechnic. The objective of this Memorandum of Understanding is to provide a framework of cooperation and develop energy solutions, primarily on energy storage. Combining collaborative research and promoting translational research between Institutes of Higher-Learning and

Energy Market Authority (EMA) announced it had awarded $15 million in research grants to six projects on cost-effective energy storage innovations. Among them is the conversion of natural gas into a solidified form, a storage solution whose cost is about half that of conventional compressed natural gas (CNG) storage technology. National University of Singapore Assistant

In May 2015, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) has launched a $15 million grant call to all Institute of Higher Learnings (IHLs) to look at enabling the deployment of energy storage under Singapore’s hot, humid and urbanised environment. Out of over 30 proposals received, only 6 projects were selected which focused primarily on three research

The Energy Efficiency in Process Industry Workshop was held on 17th October 2016 in Fusionopolis MPSH1. This is a jointly organized workshop by CERT, NUS and Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, A-STAR. The objective of this workshop was to understand the challenges the process industry faced and determine if the research carried out in NUS
