Energy Pillar New Banner

Overview

Research has shown a direct correlation between energy expansion and global prosperity. As a small island city-state with limited natural resources, It is important for Singapore to strategically diversify its energy sources to ensure reliability and sustainability. Clean energy plays a vital role in promoting sustainability by mitigating climate change through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which are the main drivers of global warming and climate disruption. It is crucial to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and the establishment of sustainable business models for the sustenance of clean energy.  

The energy pillar in ARTC is committed to cultivate a thriving energy industry ecosystem and advancing the clean energy sector in Singapore. This involves collaborative innovation and deployment of solutions to generate impactful outcomes for both the energy industry and the nation. On a broader scale, the pillar aims to establish an innovation nexus with members of the consortium by co-developing demonstrations on sustainability to test bed technology and decarbonization solutions. This endeavor is poised to propel local industries towards sustainable manufacturing practices and facilitate the transition to cleaner energy sources.

Focus Areas
