Summary
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Aalborg University and Aarhus University in Denmark have embarked on a new five-year research initiative, supported by US$9.4 million (DKK 60 million or S$12 million) in funding from the Grundfos Foundation.
This is the foundation's largest individual research grant to date and the first to include a university outside Denmark.
Titled Sustainable Water-based cooling in Megacities (SWiM), the three universities will develop intelligent and sustainable cooling systems that can reduce energy consumption in large cities by up to 30 per cent, lowering both costs and carbon emissions.
Building on Denmark and Singapore's expertise
Denmark is a world leader in district heating, where hot water generated from a central plant is distributed through pipelines to homes and industries.
Notable projects include the Avedøre Power Station near Copenhagen, one of the world's most efficient combined heat and power plants, and Amager Bakke, a waste-to-energy facility that supplies heat to the city while also serving as a public ski slope.
