ExxonMobil-NTU-A*STAR Corporate Lab – Advancing Low-Carbon Solutions

The ExxonMobil-NTU-A*STAR Corporate Lab, a five-year IAF-ICP initiative, focuses on developing innovative low-carbon solutions. As the first corporate lab established by an energy major in Singapore, it aims to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. The lab encompasses five key programs, with A*STAR leading two critical initiatives:

1. Transforming Methane into Low-Carbon Hydrogen and Solid Carbon Materials
2. Developing Efficient Carbon Capture and Carbonation Technology for Industry By-Products

These programs are pivotal to advancing Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy and support the greening of Jurong Island, a key industrial hub.
