The NUS Energy and Decarbonisation Youth Programme has entered its 3rd year. During the winter school holidays, three runs of the 3-day programme were organised in November, December and January. The programme has reached out to about 360 youths since it began in 2024 and is facilitated by Prof Ang Beng Wah and Dr Goh Tian from the ISEM Department.
Students from Anderson-Serangoon Junior College, School of Science and Technology Singapore, Boon Lay Secondary School, Temasek Junior College and other schools in Singapore participated in the programme. The programme gives students a glimpse into the energy transition and decarbonisation process across the economy as part of climate mitigation and sustainability efforts to get to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. As part of the 3-day programme, students went on a learning journey to Jurong Island to have a firsthand look at the refinery and chemicals sector and interact with industry experts working first-hand on the green transition.
The programme is open to youths in Singapore who are interested in sustainability and the energy transition. Students may enrol in the programme during the summer and winter school holidays.
