The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Temasek Polytechnic (TP) on Monday jointly launched a new Maritime Fuel Cell Research Initiative.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the main aim of the initiative is to seed and encourage projects that will yield improvements and breakthroughs in the use of fuel cell and other technologies applicable to maritime industry.
The projects will focus on research, development, test-bedding and eventual commercialization of fuel cell applications and other technologies for the maritime industry.
Co-funded by MPA’s Maritime Innovation and Technology (MINT) Fund and TP, research grants of up to 4 million and 1 million Singapore dollars (3.03 million and 0.76 million U.S. dollars) will be contributed by MPA and TP respectively over a three-year period.
Two research projects have been identified under the MOU. The first project is to test-bed fuel cell as auxiliary power in vessels, and the second is to develop an automated process of supplying continuous clean power to underwater systems and devices.
