About-Us/Our-Committees/Marine-Renewable-Energy-Working-Group
The Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore set up the Marine Renewable Energy Working Group together in April 2018. Marine renewable energy refers to anything in the marine space used to generate renewable energy such as floating solar panels and ocean renewable energy technologies (e.g. tidal range, currents, wave, thermal gradient, salinity gradient).
The Marine Renewable Energy is a sunrise industry, which has more than 1,000 sites in Asia that could cater to 200MW for each site in the Southeast Asian Region.
In line with Singapore’s drive towards a sustainable future, various efforts that address energy security and economic impact are being explored. Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) and its related sectors are relevant upcoming contributors to Singapore’s energy mix. Singapore potentially has substantial MRE resource that can be harnessed for various applications.
Being a recognized leader in innovation and research in the region, Singapore has the great opportunity to take the lead in Southeast Asia (SEA) to drive the adoption of MRE and related technologies.

About-Us/Our-Committees/Sustainable-Infrastructure-Committee
The Sustainable Infrastructure Committee was established in 2018.The objective was to bring collective thoughts and ideas to add value to the articulation and execution of policies and plans to help towards a more sustainable and smarter Singapore.
An increasing number of sustainable technologies that aim to reduce negative impacts on the earth’s resources are being developed. Sustainable Energy Infrastructure refers to technologies and systems that reduce energy usage and replace fossil fuel powered electricity to renewable sources. This also includes e-mobility solutions, battery storage system as well as demand response technology.
In Singapore, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) is conducting an EV Test-Bed which looks at the feasibility of EVs on Singapore roads by considering consumer behaviour, and performance of vehicles as well as charging technologies. Demand Response technology is also growing in Singapore, and many potential opportunities are being explored for an integrated network that combines smart infrastructure and other forms of renewable energy.
The Sustainable Infrastructure committee is chaired by Dr Sanjay Kuttan.

About-Us/Our-Committees/Sustainable-Laboratories-Committee
Founded in 2014, The Singapore Sustainable Lab Group (S2Lab) is a focused interest group under the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS); aiming to bring together experts and key players in laboratory and high-tech facility design, construction, maintenance and operation. The goal is to discuss energy efficiency, health and safety, and best practices for labs operation and maintenance. S2Lab is supported by Singapore’s National Environment Agency and affiliated with International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) as an international chapter.
As Singapore moves towards a more knowledge-based economy, with more investments in R&D, more laboratories are being developed. Laboratories and other high technology facilities such as cleanrooms and hospitals, consume five to ten times the amount of energy when compared to office buildings in their unique operations and energy demand. Therefore, it is critical to address the energy efficiency challenges for these facilities which are vastly different than typical office buildings. Thus, the Sustainable Laboratories Group was set up to bring together experts in these areas and develop sustainable laboratories in Singapore.
S2Lab hopes to bring not only a platform for knowledge exchange for local expertise development, but also collaboration opportunities in the field of sustainable laboratories and high-tech facilities in the tropics and beyond.
