The Kuok Group is teaming up with a top Singapore university to develop post-combustion carbon capture and storage technologies for shipboard applications.

The project, which has been awarded by the Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI), will see it work alongside Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore's Maritime Energy & Sustainable Development (MESD) and the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering (SCBE).

Funding for the research will come from the National Research Foundation Singapore under the Maritime Transformation Programme.
