报告摘要：

The author will begin by presenting key facts about energy, highlighting the challenges of the Energy Trilemma—balancing energy security, equity, and environmental sustainability. This introduction will lead to a discussion on the tough decisions required for energy transitions. The author will then detail various initiatives undertaken by the Singapore government, focusing on their energy policies and the National Hydrogen Strategy. These measures aim to support a sustainable energy future and reduce carbon emissions. The latter part of the seminar will feature insights from the speaker on hydrogen and fuel cell research, development, and demonstration projects at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
