Dr Naswhad Haque, a renowned principal research scientist and decarbonisation expert from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), delivered a seminar titled ‘Scientific Cooperation to Expand Hydrogen Technologies and Ammonia Co-firing for Power Generation’ at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) yesterday.
Dr Haque delved into the development of low-emission technologies by CSIRO and explained how their adoption can contribute to achieving net zero by 2050.
He emphasised the crucial role of international cooperation and scientific collaboration in advancing these technologies.
Dr Haque highlighted the importance of transitional research and discussed strategies for converting research findings into commercial products. The seminar, hosted by the Centre for Advanced Material and Energy Sciences (CAMES) in collaboration with the Australian High Commission in Brunei Darussalam, took place at UBD.
The event was attended by UBD principal officers, staff, researchers, students and representatives from higher education institutions, the Brunei Economic Development Board, and government agencies such as the Department of Electrical Services and the Ministry of Finance and Economy.
The CAMES at UBD offers postgraduate programmes in Materials Science and Energy Studies. Its research focuses on areas such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), wastewater treatment and sustainable industrial coatings.
