The 15th Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC 2025) will be held in Singapore from 18 – 22 May 2025. This event marks a significant moment in the dynamic field of combustion research, a pivotal area bridging energy, sustainability, and advanced technology. We gather to share insights from academia, industry, and government, reflecting the substantial progress and evolving contributions of the Asia-Pacific region to this critical discipline.
Our technical program is designed to address both the traditional elements of combustion science and the innovative approaches towards sustainable, low-carbon energy solutions. A key focus will be the integration of combustion technologies with low carbon alternative fuels, highlighting the role of hydrogen energy in this transition. Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to optimise hydrogen as a crucial component of the future energy landscape, aligns perfectly with our conference themes and underscores the transformative initiatives that ASPACC seeks to promote.
History of ASPACC
The Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC) is a regional combustion conference sponsored by the Combustion Institute (CI). The first ASPACC was held in Osaka, Japan, in 1997. This initial conference set the stage for subsequent meetings, emphasizing the importance of regional collaboration and the exchange of scientific knowledge in combustion science and technology.
The ASPACC is held every two years, and its location rotates among different CI sections in the Asia-Pacific region. Previous host sections have included China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India, Saudi Arabia, and Australia: Osaka, Japan (1997), Tainan, Taiwan (1999), Seoul, Korea (2001), Nanjing, China (2003), Adelaide, Australia (2005), Nagoya, Japan (2007), Taipei, Taiwan (2009), Hyderabad, India (2010), Gyeongju, Korea (2013), Beijing, China (2015), Sydney, Australia (2017), Fukuoka, Japan (2019), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (2021), and Kaohsiung, Taiwan (2023). In 2025, the ASPACC will come to Singapore, with new changes, including ASPACC paper publication in Proceedings of The Combustion Institute. It will be hosted by the Singapore Section of the Combustion Institute (SSCI)
