A*STAR Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment (A*STAR ISCE²)

What we do

The A*STAR Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment (A*STAR ISCE², pronounced “Easy Square”) was established in March 2022 to advance R&D in areas such as low-carbon technologies, carbon life cycle assessment, sustainable materials and green manufacturing processes using the latest digitalisation and automation tools.

A*STAR ISCE² will be partnering academia, public agencies and industry to achieve Singapore’s climate change goals, including the Singapore Green Plan and Zero Waste Masterplan; as well as support the local energy, chemicals and pharmaceutical sectors in becoming more sustainable.
