Hydrogen And Fuel Cell Association Of Singapore

What Hydrogen And Fuel Cell Association Of Singapore does

HFCAS is a non-profit trade association headquartered at 9 Jurong Town Hall Road, #03-12 Trade Association Hub, Singapore, that serves as the formal industry voice for Singapore's hydrogen and fuel cell sector. The organization originated in 2007 as the Singapore Fuel Cell Community with support from the Economic Development Board, was revived in 2015 under founding President Noel Chin, and was formalized as HFCAS in 2019 to consolidate stakeholder representation across industry, academia, and government. Its core membership comprises over 200 organizations spanning hydrogen producers and users (Surbana Jurong, SunGreenH2, DNV Singapore, Powerzone Group, Maximator Far East, Sydrogen Energy), research institutions (Nanyang Technological University), and government agencies (Energy Market Authority, Enterprise Singapore).

HFCAS monetizes primarily through annual subscription fees across three membership tiers — Individual at SGD 200 per year, Corporate SME (firms under S$100 million turnover or fewer than 200 workers) at SGD 1,000 per year, and Corporate MNC/LLE at SGD 3,000 per year — supplemented by event registration fees for seminars, study missions, and conferences. Its service portfolio includes three individual membership products, the corporate membership tiers, recurring events and conferences (e.g., SHE Seminar 2026, HFCAS Taiwan Business Mission 2026), a Training and Programme catalogue, an HFCAS Library of publications, and a Grants & Partnerships information portal. Membership administration and event ticketing run on the Glue Up platform.

Distribution and marketing run through organic digital channels — the HFCAS website, LinkedIn presence, and email newsletter — combined with direct outreach to recruit corporate members and organize face-to-face networking. The association also operates internationally through mutual partnerships with peer associations such as the Australian Hydrogen Council, UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association, H2 Chile, H2KOREA, Hidrogen Colombia, and Hydrogen Denmark, supporting cross-border knowledge exchange and overseas study missions for members. An elected Executive Committee (Exco) and a small secretariat team (e.g., Events & Marketing Executive) run day-to-day operations on a member-funded, non-profit basis.
