Accelerating low-carbon energy research
at NUS

Seven NUS projects have successfully competed for research funding under Phase 2 of the Low-Carbon Energy Research (LCER) Programme, a national initiative that supports research and development of emerging low-carbon energy alternatives that have the potential to help reduce Singapore’s carbon footprint.

Collectively, these projects aim to accelerate the technical and economic viability of low-carbon energy technologies in areas such as hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage.
