Green Energy and Carbon Capture Innovations in Singapore

Green Energy and Emissions Management

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is vital for controlling global temperature rise and curbing climate change. The urgency of this initiative has catalyse the development of green energy innovation solutions across various industries.

Green energy innovation taps on technologies, processes and strategies that utilise sustainable and renewable energy sources to power a more sustainable future. Carbon capture innovation is one of the cutting-edge approaches technologies that aim to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with energy production and consumption.

From green energy alternatives to carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), emissions tracking, and reduction, these curated technologies provide many opportunities for enterprises in Singapore to capitalise by, means of co-development and co-creation to develop products and services across various fields for a sustainable and resilient future.

Eco-Friendly Water-Based Air Purification

Controlling both outdoor and indoor air pollution is crucial for protecting human health and the environment. Outdoor air pollution from industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, global warming, and environmental degradation. Indoor air pollution can also cause chronic respiratory conditions and other health issues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), outdoor air pollution causes approximately 4.2 million premature deaths annually, while indoor air pollution accounts for around 3.8 million premature deaths each year. Traditionally, wet scrubbers are used to reduce air pollution, ensuring regulatory compliance and protecting human health. However, they have drawbacks such as scaling, fouling, inefficient pollutant removal, and generating solid waste. These issues lead to frequent maintenance, high operational costs, and environmental pollution. This technology addresses these pain points by utilizing an array of water jets without the need for packing materials. This innovative solution offers more efficient pollutant removal, reduced maintenance, a compact design, and lower energy consumption, effectively solving the problems associated with traditional wet scrubbers. The technology owner is seeking collaborations with companies in the chemical/ pharmaceutical/ steel manufacturing sector for test-bedding and research and development (R&D) projects that require an eco-friendly scrubber.
