Energy boost: Additional S$195m allotted for energy sector R&D

It will help the Energy Innovation Programme Office accelerate the growth of Singapore’s clean energy industry.

The additional allotment for the five-year period to 2015 is from the National Research Foundation.

The R&D funding will also help EIPO reach the 2015 targets of S$1.7 billion of economic value-added and 7,000 skilled jobs. Focus will be on solar energy and exploration of new growth areas such as smart grids, green buildings, and carbon capture and utilisation.

It will support public research centres and another part will also be devoted to competitive grants to solicit bottom-up innovations.

The funding will augment EIPO’s efforts in the commercialisation of R&D results and develop postgraduate talent as well.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
