The NUS Energy and Decarbonisation Youth 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.
The programme has entered its 3rd year. During the summer school holidays, junior college and secondary school students from Singapore participated in the programme from 24 to 26 June 2026. The programme has reached out to around 400 youths since it began in 2024 and is facilitated by Prof Ang Beng Wah and Dr Goh Tian from the ISEM Department. Over the three days, students worked on ideas to help different energy consuming sectors get to net zero in Singapore and pitched their ideas to a panel. They also 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.
