What does it take to make shipping greener? is advancing the fundamental research and applied science to help lead the way.

A new science anthology series by CNA, Breakthroughs, goes behind the scenes with researchers working to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. Its pilot episode follows scientists developing cleaner fuels and technologies for the sector.

Led by Prof Jason Xu from NTU’s School of Materials Science and Engineering, researchers at the Maritime Energy & Sustainable Development Centre of Excellence are working on catalysts that could make green hydrogen technologies more efficient and affordable.

The team is also developing ways to test and trace methanol used as a marine fuel, helping to verify where it comes from and whether it has been produced sustainably.

Research Fellows Dr Justin Seow and Dr Yeow Keat Ping share how these technologies are being tested, refined and brought closer to real-world use.

Watch Breakthroughs to see the science behind the push for more sustainable shipping. https://ntu.sg/CNA-Breakthroughs
