Adsorption Heat Pump (AHP): Cooling from Low-Temperature Waste Heat with Less Electricity
An Adsorption Heat Pump (AHP) is a thermally driven heating and cooling system that operates through the physical adsorption of a refrigerant onto a solid adsorbent material. Unlike conventional vapor-compression systems that rely on mechanical energy, AHPs are powered by low-grade thermal energy sources such as waste heat, solar thermal energy, or biomass, offering a highly energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative. Using environmentally safe solid adsorbents such as silica gel, zeolite, or activated carbon, and natural refrigerants like water or ammonia, the system functions through a cyclic adsorption–desorption process. During adsorption, refrigerant vapor adheres to the solid adsorbent, releasing heat for heating purposes. In the desorption phase, heat is applied to the adsorbent, releasing the refrigerant vapor, which then condenses to produce cooling. By tapping into waste or renewable heat sources, AHPs significantly reduce electricity consumption and carbon emissions, making them ideal for decentralized and off-grid applications. They are particularly effective in settings where electricity is limited or costly, or where waste heat is abundantly available. Although AHPs typically exhibit lower coefficients of performance (COP) than conventional systems and may require more installation space, their energy efficiency, sustainability, safety, and long lifespan make them a compelling choice for green and circular energy systems. This technology is available for R&D collaboration and IP licensing with industrial partners including data centers, refrigeration equipment manufacturers, and energy solution providers. The system delivers impressive performance by effectively harnessing low-grade heat to produce cooling, while minimizing electricity consumption and reducing waste heat generation. key features includes: Heat-driven cycle: Operates primarily on thermal input, consuming negligible electricity Eco-friendly system: Composed solely of water, an adsorbent, and a feed pump, resulting in zero greenhouse gas emissions Low operational temperature: Capable of producing chilled water at 15°C from 55–60°C waste heat Safe and quiet: Contains no moving mechanical parts, operates at low pressure, and uses inherently safe, non-flammable, and non-toxic working components Durable and low maintenance: Offers a long operational lifespan with minimal servicing requirements Data Centers: Utilize waste heat from direct liquid cooling systems to generate 15°C chilled water for cooling applications Industrial Facilities: Recover and repurpose low-grade heat from manufacturing or waste incineration processes for air-conditioning or refrigeration District Cooling and Renewable Integration: Ideal for decentralized systems powered by biomass, solar thermal, or other renewable sources This heat-driven refrigeration system operates at a low driving temperature of 55°C, unlike conventional systems that typically require hot water above 70°C. Under suitable conditions, it can even function with heat sources as low as 50°C. In addition, the system delivers exceptional energy performance—producing up to 15 times more cooling capacity than the power consumed, which is approximately three times higher than that of conventional electrically driven refrigeration units.

Plant-based Additive for Bioplastic Barrier Enhancement
Bioplastics have emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics, offering biodegradability and reduced carbon footprint. However, their use in high-performance applications remains limited because of inherent material weaknesses. A key challenge is their poor barrier properties, particularly against water vapour and gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. This limitation prevents bioplastics from being widely adopted in packaging applications that demand strong protective qualities, such as food products, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive electronic components. In most cases, bioplastics are restricted to low-demand items like disposable bags or cutlery, where barrier performance is not critical. This technology addresses the key challenge of poor barrier properties by introducing a plant-waste-derived additive that enhances barrier properties of bioplastics. Incorporated directly during melt processing, the additive reduces the water vapour transmission rate (WVTR), enabling bioplastics to provide effective moisture protection.

AI-Enabled Food Waste Contamination Audit System
Food waste streams are frequently contaminated by packaging, utensils, and other non-food items, undermining efficient downstream treatment and resource recovery. Contamination drives multiple pain points for food operators, premise owners and municipalities such as rejected loads and surcharges, lower conversion yields at valorisation facilities, equipment fouling and downtime, higher manual-sorting labour, and unnecessary transport emissions when contaminated loads are hauled before being discarded. This technology aims to address the issues with food contamination by delivering continuous, at-source contamination auditing and monitoring. The technology on offer is a smart food‑waste monitoring and profiling platform designed to bridge the gap between regulatory requirements and on‑site practices.

In parallel, operators are adopting digital tools to meet ESG reporting and circular-economy goals. While AI solutions are mature in single-operator hospitality settings (e.g., restaurants, hotels), a gap persists in multi-user environments—such as hawker centres and food courts—where at-source contamination is the primary barrier to recovery and tenant-level accountability is essential. This technology closes that gap by enabling accurate segregation, compliance, and performance tracking in complex, shared spaces. It supports Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan and creates opportunities to scale across urban food ecosystems in Asia facing similar regulatory and operational pressures.   Combines real-time contamination detection, a standardised food-waste taxonomy, and tenant-level accountability in a single platform Profiles food waste at the point of disposal and tracks and logs performance for tenants and operators, using classifications tuned to Singapore’s food sector Improves segregation and reduces contamination, demonstrating measurable progress toward sustainability and compliance goals.

Optimisation of Shrimp (L. Vannamei) Feed with Underutilised Okara
In Singapore, more than 30,000kg of okara are generated from soya milk and tofu production. Due to the high amount of insoluble dietary fibre and a unique, poignant smell of okara, it is often discarded as a waste product. Despite okara's low palatability, it is rich in nutrients such as protein, fibre and isoflavones. By replacing fishmeal with okara, an local higher institute of learning has developed a nutritious yet cost-effective formulation in the feed of L. Vannamei shrimps. Besides reduced overall cost of shrimp meals, the conversion from okara to shrimp meal significantly reduces the amount of organic waste to landfills and promotes economic viability, giving okara a second life. This circular economy model creates a symbiotic relationship between two industries. The formulation can potentially be adapted and customised for other aquatic species. The technology provider is seeking to work with shrimp farmers to run larger trials. This shrimp feed technology utilises okara, a soy processing by-product, as the primary protein source to replace expensive fish meal in commercial shrimp feeds. It employs heat treatment and solid-state fermentation using food-grade yeast to eliminate anti-nutrients (trypsin inhibitors, lectins) and enhance protein bioavailability in okara. Okara contains the following beneficial nutrients which directly impacts shrimp feed: 50% insoluble fibre ~25% protein 10% unsaturated fats Isoflavones Vitamins and minerals Okara is used as a cost-effective feed for high-demand L.Vannamei shrimp, a commonly consumed shrimp species in Singapore. Shrimps fed with okara-based feed showed a comparable growth rate with the group fed with commercial diet. In comparison, the okara-based feed are cheaper to make than commercial feed used in the industry. There is potential for okara to be included in feed of other aquatic species such as mollusc and fish. An okara-based feed for abalone has also been developed. An alternative nutrient source for animal feed allows sustainability of food supply and reduction of food waste. A cost-effective plant-based functional ingredient, lowering costs of feed for aquaculture farms. Nutritional composition can be tailored to different species. Increased length and weight growth as compared to commercial feed. Okara, Feed Formulation, Shrimp Feed Sustainability, Circular Economy
