EDB Society-Temasek Alumni Network
“Exploring Global Decarbonisation Solutions: Strategic Opportunities for Singapore”
On 16 July 2025, The EDB Society and Temasek Alumni Network proudly hosted the second instalment of our energy transition series, “Exploring Global Decarbonisation Solutions: Strategic Opportunities for Singapore.”
We were honoured to welcome Mr Ravi Menon, Singapore’s Ambassador for Climate Action and Senior Adviser to the National Climate Change Secretariat, as our Guest-of-Honour. The highlight of the evening was a thought-provoking fireside chat with Ambassador Ravi, moderated by Mr Frederick Teo, CEO of GenZero. Ambassador Ravi offered his perspectives and shared valuable insights on the global climate agenda. He was realistic about dealing with the challenges and hard truths, while staying optimistically focused on the opportunities for climate action.
The session was followed by an excellent panel discussion, skillfully moderated by Mr Toh Wee Khiang, EDB alumnus and Director of the Hydrogen & Sustainable Energies Office at EMA. The panel featured distinguished speakers, namely Ms Aw Kah Peng, Chairman of Shell Companies in Singapore, Mr Bernd Heid, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company and Global Lead for Climate Technologies and the Hydrogen Service Line, and Prof. Thomas Jaramillo, Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. The panel discussion covered a range of global issues, ranging from decarbonisation opportunities in the light of the Trump Administration's agenda, to hydrogen innovation, to lessons learnt from Europe's energy transition, to prospects of low carbon fuels for Singapore.
The event was attended by over 150 members and guests, which included Temasek alumnus and A*STAR representatives. We thank all participants for registering your interest and making it a point to attend and arrive on time, for enthusiastically asking questions during Q&A, and for staying on for the networking session.

Singapore’s Energy Transition Pathway
The EDB Society and Temasek Alumni Network organised a forum titled "Singapore's Energy Transition Pathway" on 14 April 2025 at Big Picture Auditorium at Capital Tower.
We were honoured to have our Guest-of-Honour, Dr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry, share about Singapore’s energy transition efforts. The fireside chat was moderated by Mr Russell Tham (Head of Emerging Technologies, Temasek), and it was an enriching dialogue on how Singapore can progress on our strategies amidst sharper trade-offs in the energy & carbon space.
Following the fireside chat with Minister, there was a panel discussion, moderated by our EXCO member, Mr Dennis Tan, Executive Director, Surbana Jurong. Our distinguished panel consisted of Mr Russell Tham, Mr Teo Eng Dih (Chief Executive Officer, MPA), Ms Janice Bong (Managing Director, Power and Renewables, Keppel) and Mr Lim Wey-Len (Executive Vice President, EDB). It was an insightful session as our panllists shared openly about the challenges and immense opportunities that have emerged in energy transition.
