Mission

Introduction

Fuel Cell Application Centre @ TP

“As the pioneer clean energy incubator in Singapore, the fuel

cell community led by Temasek Polytechnic is an important

step in development our nascent clean energy industry“ ……. “

establishing Singapore as a serious player in the fuel cell

industry” EDB Chairman Lim Siong Guan

Launched of Fuel Cell Community Mar 2007

“…the Singapore

Fuel cell

Community, which

is based at the

polytechnic and

brings together

researchers, start-

ups, and other

industry partners…”

Technology Leadership

“.. The power plant, which was incubated at TP

CERC for 3 years, is the fruit of a collaboration

between researchers.. TP provided the

engineering know-how to put together the fuel

cell power …..“

“.. their plant would not have been possible

without the collaboration of TP….. “the deep

technical know-how in fuel cell materials, design

and controls were applied by the researchers“
