THE National University of Singapore (NUS) has launched the Centre for Hydrogen Innovations (CHI) new research institute. The aim of the institute is to make hydrogen a commercially viable green energy source.
CHI received a S$15 million endowed gift from Temasek, a Singaporean state holding company owned by the Government of Singapore. The centre’s total investment to has reached S$25 million including additional funding from NUS.
According to the university, CHI is the first of its kind in South-east Asia. It commenced operations on Jul 1 and is led by NUS professor Liu Bin, who also established the NUS Green Energy Programme.
The centre’s primary focus will be on hydrogen carrier and supply chain studies in its first phase, starting with 9 hydrogen-related research projects that will each receive up to S$250,000 in funding.
These research projects aim to create disruptive technologies related to building a hydrogen economy in Singapore, such as the development of hydrogen carriers – chemicals that contain hydrogen to be extracted.
