The Minor in Hydrogen and Low Carbon Technology at NUS is designed to address the global shift towards sustainable energy and support Singapore’s national strategies for a hydrogen economy. With the nation’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, hydrogen is set to play a crucial role in decarbonising industries such as power generation, maritime, and chemicals.

As hydrogen becomes increasingly vital across various industries, there is a rising demand for professionals skilled in hydrogen technologies. This Minor equips students with the expertise needed to support Singapore’s hydrogen initiatives and contribute to the nation’s sustainable energy ambitions. Graduates will be well-prepared to meet industry needs and pursue research and development in hydrogen production, storage, and utilisation—essential areas for Singapore’s energy future.

The broad learning outcomes of this minor are as follows:

1. Gain comprehensive and practical knowledge in hydrogen production, storage, and utilisation technologies.
2. Develop an understanding of the regulatory, safety, and ethical considerations in hydrogen technology applications.
3. Understand hydrogen technologies as systems of interconnected components, encompassing chemical, physical, environmental, and economic aspects.
4. Apply basic simulation tools and methods to understand and analyse hydrogen systems.
5. Develop skills to work effectively in team settings, particularly in interdisciplinary groups.
6. Acquire effective oral and written skills to convey complex concepts in hydrogen technologies to diverse audiences.
