Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) continues to push the boundaries of mobility solutions by signing another partnership with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
The first partnership signed in 2021 focused on the development of EVs. This time, intending to achieve carbon neutrality, both companies embark on a 3-year collaboration to boost hydrogen and advanced energy systems.
The VP, and CEO of Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS), Hyun Sung Parke says, “HMGICS is a global hub for Hyundai Motor Group’s future mobility innovation. Through this partnership, we aim to accelerate our research to enhance the commercial viability of our mobility solutions.”
Over 95% of Singapore’s power supply depends on natural gas as its natural resources are depleting posing a massive challenge to the carbon neutrality concern. The primary focus is to study the adoption of hydrogen production technologies and businesses country-wide.
They will rely on Hyundai Motor Group’s resource-cycle hydrogen production technologies: Plastic-to-Hydrogen (P2H) and Waste-to-Hydrogen (W2H) systems. W2H utilizes organic waste such as food and sewage sludge to produce hydrogen, while P2H utilizes non-recyclable plastic.
Meanwhile, hydrogen is generated using organic waste like food and sewage sludge in the W2H method and non-recyclable plastic is deployed for the P2H process.
“The research partnerships between NTU Singapore and Hyundai Motor Group reflect how close collaboration with industry is vital in developing innovative and relevant solutions to address live issues, including the race to carbon neutrality. We will continue to build on our long-standing partnership with Hyundai Motor Group, leveraging NTU’s core strengths in areas such as sustainable energy, AI, robotics, 3D printing, and advanced materials, to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for Singapore and the global society,” reveals Lam Khin Yong, the industrial VP of NTU.
Hyundai joined hands with NTU and the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR) to establish a tripartite Corporate Lab Program that will research modern technologies like AI, robotics, and 3D printing based on scalable solutions for the urban environment in Singapore.
This partnership underlines Hyundai’s commitment to advance green energy solutions for Singapore’s carbon-neutral ecosystem. It will be a catalyst in creating a significant impact on the manufacturing sector to reduce carbon footprint & enhance overall customer experience.
