- Hyundai Motor Group and Nanyang Technological College, Singapore collaborate within the discipline of hydrogen power and superior power system
- The partnership goals to advance in the direction of carbon neutrality by means of joint analysis with world-renowned NTU
- HMGICS, NTU and A*STAR to ascertain a tripartite Company Lab Program for collaborative analysis in AI, robotics and 3D printing
Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) has signed a collaborative analysis settlement with Nanyang Technological College, Singapore (NTU) within the discipline of recent power. The partnership will embody a three-year analysis collaboration, specializing in the areas of hydrogen power enterprise and superior power system.
This collaboration between the Group and NTU, a globally famend college, goals to take a step nearer to attaining carbon neutrality. The main focus of the partnership will probably be on creating different power sources leveraging the Group’s superior power applied sciences which can be appropriate for Singapore’s distinctive traits.
“HMGICS is a world hub for Hyundai Motor Group’s future mobility innovation,” mentioned Hyun Sung Park, Vice President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Heart Singapore (HMGICS). “By this partnership, we goal to speed up our analysis within the discipline of modern applied sciences, finally enhancing the industrial viability of our sustainable mobility options.”
The signing ceremony, which befell on the Singapore-Korea Enterprise Discussion board, Ritz Carlton Singapore, on October 8, was attended by Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Firm; Younger-Joon Yoon, President and CEO of Hyundai Engineering & Building (Hyundai E&C); Hyun Sung Park, Vice President and CEO of HMGICS; Professor Lam Khin Yong, Vice President (Trade) of NTU; Professor Madhavi Srinivasan, Govt Director of Power Analysis Institute at NTU; Duk-geun Ahn, Minister of Commerce, Trade and Power of the Republic of Korea; and Dr. Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Commerce and Trade of Singapore.
As a city-state, Singapore faces challenges in attaining carbon neutrality on account of its restricted pure sources and heavy reliance on pure fuel, accounting for 95% of its energy era. Singapore is anticipated to see a rising position for hydrogen power and superior power system in its efforts to realize carbon neutrality.
One of many key areas of focus will probably be learning the adoption of hydrogen manufacturing applied sciences and companies in Singapore. This contains the implementation of Hyundai Motor Group’s modern resource-cycle hydrogen manufacturing applied sciences: Plastic-to-Hydrogen (P2H) and Waste-to-Hydrogen (W2H) methods. W2H makes use of natural waste reminiscent of meals and sewage sludge to supply hydrogen, whereas P2H makes use of non-recyclable plastic.
Within the discipline of superior power system analysis, the Group and NTU have set their sights on creating an answer that’s well-suited for city international locations like Singapore. The superior power system gives some great benefits of straightforward set up and excessive security ranges due to its modular design, enjoying a significant position in attaining carbon neutrality in Singapore.
On the identical day, HMGICS additionally held a joint signing ceremony for the institution of a tripartite analysis middle with NTU and the Company for Science, Expertise, and Analysis (A*STAR). The Company Lab Program is about to conduct analysis in modern manufacturing domains reminiscent of AI, robotics and 3D printing.
This important milestone will speed up improvements within the adoption of modern applied sciences, with the aim of making a collaborative future mobility ecosystem in Singapore.
“The analysis partnerships between NTU Singapore and Hyundai Motor Group replicate how shut collaboration with business is important in creating modern and related options to deal with actual world points, together with the race to carbon neutrality,” mentioned Professor Lam Khin Yong, Vice President (Trade) of NTU. “We are going to proceed to construct on our long-standing partnership with Hyundai Motor Group, leveraging NTU’s core strengths in areas reminiscent of sustainable power, AI, robotics, 3D printing, and superior supplies, to develop modern and sustainable options for Singapore and the worldwide society.”
Within the signing ceremony, Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor; Hyun Sung Park, Vice President and CEO of HMGICS; Professor Lam Khin Yong, Vice President (Trade) of NTU; Professor Warren Chan, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at NTU; Frederick Chew, CEO of A*STAR; Professor Lim Keng Hui, Assistant Chief Govt of Science and Engineering Analysis Council at A*STAR; Duk-geun Ahn, Minister of Commerce, Trade and Power of the Republic of Korea; and Dr. Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Commerce and Trade of Singapore had been current.
The collaboration between Hyundai Motor Group, NTU and A*STAR highlights HMGICS’s transformative affect on manufacturing and buyer expertise. Pushed by a shared strategic imaginative and prescient, this partnership goals to create world-leading, modern, and sustainable mobility options that profit all. Hyundai Motor Group goals to advance expertise and develop sustainable options, contributing to a greener future in Singapore.
