On October 20th, 2025, the Campus signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Niterra Co Ltd from Japan and Kenesjay Green Ltd, a local Caribbean energy transition company, to launch an innovative green hydrogen initiative in Trinidad and Tobago known as the H2-TTransform Project. The agreement was signed by key figures, including Professor Bheshem Ramlal, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering; Dr Renique Murray, Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering; Dr Graham King from the same department; Mr Philip Julien, Chairman of Kenesjay Green Ltd; Mr Tadashi Watanabe, Director of Energy Business Strategy at Niterra Co Ltd; and Mr Koichi Arimitsu, General Manager for Energy and Environment at Niterra Co Ltd.<\/p>\n

This strategic partnership aims to develop and pilot advanced Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cell (SOEC) technology, designed to significantly enhance the efficiency of green hydrogen production. The H2-TTransform Project reflects the goals of The UWI\u2019s Hydrogen Research Collaborative (H2RC), formed in 2023 to foster collaboration between academic institutions and the industry, all geared toward establishing a sustainable hydrogen economy for Trinidad and Tobago and the broader Caribbean region.<\/p>\n
