Our Ammonia and Hydrogen Combustion Laboratory at National University of Singapore (NUS) is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advancing the understanding and optimization of ammonia and hydrogen as sustainable fuels, and developing net-zero combustion technologies.

The laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge laser diagnostics, enabling high-resolution, non-intrusive measurements of temperature, species concentration (e.g., OH, NH and NO species), and flow fields in combustion systems. The system comes with Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence, UV chemiluminescence, Raman and Rayleigh measurements, etc. It also features advanced emission measurement systems to accurately quantify pollutants such as NOx, NH3, CO, and others, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and aiding in the development of cleaner combustion technologies.The Laboratory has continuous gas monitoring systems, portal sensors, leakage detectors, proper ventilation, automated shutdown systems, and rigorous protocols for fuel handling and storage.

These integrated capabilities provide a comprehensive platform for investigating the complex chemical and physical processes in ammonia and hydrogen combustion, driving innovations in fuel utilization and emissions reduction in our decarbonization journey.
