The Singapore Government will be establishing the Advanced Energy & Decarbonisation Office (AEDO) as Singapore's national platform for driving energy and industry decarbonisation research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) under the $800 million Decarbonisation Grand Challenge (DGC). It will oversee the Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2030 (RIE 2030) mandate focusing on scalable decarbonisation solutions (e.g. carbon capture and low-carbon fuels and alternatives) and power system enablers (e.g. power transmission and energy storage) that support Singapore's transition to a low-carbon economy. In addition to sustaining applied R&D efforts through energy and decarbonisation-related research institutes and competitive grant calls, DGC will establish the Singapore Pilots for Energy and Enterprise Decarbonisation (SPEED) to trial promising decarbonisation-related technologies for local deployment.

The AEDO will be housed under A*STAR and is envisioned to play a crit...
