[SINGAPORE] Through their own startup, two scientists are tackling a major challenge in the maritime industry’s green push: the high cost and low supply of sustainable methanol.
In 2022, Lim Kang Hui and Haw Kok Giap – both then researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) – founded CRecTech, short for “carbon recycle technologies”.
