NUS Launches Industry-Academia Project for Ammonia-Fuelled Marine Engines
The National University of Singapore (NUS) has initiated a new project aimed at developing next-generation ammonia-fuelled marine engines to aid the decarbonisation of the global shipping industry. Officially launched on 4 February 2026, the project is led by the NUS Centre for Hydrogen Innovations with support from the Singapore Maritime Institute and various international partners. The research focuses on a novel in-cylinder reforming gas recirculation (IRGR) engine concept designed to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) launched an industry-academia collaboration on 4 February 2026 to develop ammonia-fuelled marine engines, targeting decarbonisation in shipping. Led by the NUS Centre for Hydrogen Innovations, the project will explore an in-cylinder reforming gas recirculation (IRGR) engine concept to enhance combustion efficiency and minimize emissions.
Funded by the Singapore Maritime Institute, the initiative will involve partners including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Nanyang Technological University, and marine engine manufacturer Daihatsu. The project is set to run for three years from its launch.
