DATE AND TIME
2 July 2024, Tuesday | 4.00pm – 5.00pm
Singapore has committed to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. To achieve this, we will have to focus on decarbonising our power and industry sectors, as they contribute over 80% of Singapore’s current primary emissions.
Even with existing efforts to reduce emissions through measures such as maximising the deployment of solar PVs, bringing these sectors to net zero will require the deployment of nascent low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and low-carbon hydrogen.
This presentation will introduce the research work that is currently being pursued in the Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment (ISCE2) and how it can contribute in Singapore’s journey to harness the low-carbon technologies to meet our climate commitments.
Dr Koh Chen Ning is the Division Director at Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment (ISCE2) A-STAR, overseeing the activities in process engineering and safety of the institute as well as the Low Carbon Technology Translation Testbed (LCT3) which is a national infrastructure for local and international partnership.
He did his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany. Prior to joining ISCE2, he has worked many years for a German specialty chemical company as well as a Singaporean Agri and food processing company where he was involved in process development, safety, construction as well as optimisation of the production plants globally.
He is a Chartered Engineer and is an adjunct Associate Professor at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).
