BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, 29 OCT – Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) and Oxford Green Innotech (Oxgrin) entered into a significant collaboration through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing sustainable energy technology.
In connection with that, the MoU signing ceremony between UBD and Oxgrin was held in a hybrid way at UBD, today.
At the ceremony, UBD was represented by the Vice Chancellor of UBD, Dr Hazri bin Haji Kifle and Oxygrin was represented by the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Oxygrin, Dr Simson Wu.
Through the collaboration, UBD and Oxygrin will explore research and innovation in clean energy solutions, especially hydrogen energy.
Oxygrin is a downstream company from the University of Oxford, a global pioneer in zero-emission hydrogen production through ammonia decomposition catalytic technology.
The Oxygrin ammonia power generator, which is currently used by UBD, shows that the advanced approach can produce green electricity using ammonia as a fuel source and provides a practical approach to zero emission technology in Brunei Darussalam.
By combining Oxygrin’s technical expertise with UBD’s facilities and research capabilities, the MoU aims to enhance research initiatives in sustainable energy and green technology development in Brunei Darussalam.
The collaboration is also intended to promote awareness and adoption of sustainable energy practices through joint initiatives and educational programs.
The strategic collaboration not only aims to advance research in sustainable energy but also enrich the educational experience for UBD staff and students.
By leveraging Oxygrin’s innovative ammonia power technology, it will expand UBD’s reputation as a center of excellence in sustainable energy research while contributing to Brunei’s green economy.
Following the successful feasibility test, the Oxygrin ammonia power generator was delivered to Brunei and is currently operating in collaboration with UBD.
Dr Simson Wu stated that by combining expertise and resources, we can make impactful progress in reducing carbon emissions, providing more accessible and green energy options that can benefit communities across the region.
