Low-carbon energy research Phase 2 Emerging Technology Grant Call 2023

We invite researchers to submit proposals that develop nascent yet promising low-carbon technologies like hydrogen, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) and related areas (i.e. geothermal-related technologies). The intention is for awarded projects to start at a technology-readiness level (TRL) of 1-2, and attaining a lab-scale prototype stage (i.e. TRL 4) at the end of this grant call. Awarded projects shall receive funding support for a period of up to three years, capped at a maximum grant quantum of S$1.2 million per project. Also, successful projects selected from the Review Panel will be scaled further via a directed grant call approach.

Lead Principal Investigators (PI) and their Co-Investigators (Co-Is) must:

• Hold at least 70% (20% for Co-Is) primary appointment in a public sector research institute or jointly with other public sector research institute(s); and
• Maintain the minimum appointment level for the duration of this award.  

After getting the necessary endorsement for your proposal, please submit it on iGrants under the grant call title 'LCER Phase 2 Emerging Technology Grant Call (Y2023)' (link: https://igrants-app.a-star.edu.sg/) before the deadline of 26 November 2023.
