Beliau juga sekali lagi berjaya dianugerahkan Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang (APC) pada tahun 2014.

Hasil penglibatan beliau dalam penyelidikan dan pembangunan serta pelbagai jawatankuasa diperingkat universiti, beliau diberikan kepercayaan oleh universiti untuk menjawat jawatan dan dinaikkan pangkat kepada pegawai penyelidik kanan (gred Q48) pada tahun 2018 di Institute of Future Energy, Jabatan Timbalan Naib Canselor (Penyelidikan & Inovasi).

Pada tahun yang sama juga, beliau telah diiktiraf sebagai Teknologis Profesional (Ts.) oleh Lembaga Teknologis Malaysia (MBOT).

Dr. Mohd Fadhzir telah mempeorlehi Ijazah Doktor Falsafah (Kejuruteraan Kimia) daripada Universiti Putra Malaysia setelah diluluskan oleh Majlis Senat Universiti pada 8 September 2022 dalam bidang penghasilan gas hidrogen daripada elektrolisis suhu tinggi kuprum klorida dalam asid hidroklorik menggunakan membrane pertukaran proton hibrid / High-Temperature Electrolysis of Copper Chloride using Hybrid Proton Exchange Membrane for Hydrogen Production.

Sehingga kini, Dr. Mohd Fadhzir telah terlibat dengan lebih daripada 13 projek penyelidikan dan perundingan serta berjaya menerbitkan lebih 20 artikel (5 ISI Q1/Q2, 4 Scopus, 2 bab dalam buku, 6 kertas kerja persidangan, 2 permohonan paten dan lain-lain) di peringkat antarabangsa dan kebangsaan termasuklah juga penerbitan artikel di portal pendidikan online serta akhbar utama.

Selain itu, beliau juga telah menyemak lebih daripada 18 artikel jurnal berimpak tinggi melalui penglibatan sebagai reviewer bagi Journal of Cleaner Production (JCLPRO), International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (IJHE), International Journal of Energy Research (IJER) dan lain-lain lagi.

The CEO of Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Centre Visited Institute of Future Energy UTM

The Institute of Future Energy (IFE), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Johor Bahru was honored to receive a visit from a special guest, the CEO of Malaysian Green Technology & Climate Change Centre (MGTC) Mr. Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor on 9th August 2020.

During the visit, Mr. Shamsul Bahar was accompanied by other MGTC delegates comprising Mr. Huzaimi (Director of Sustainable Mobility),ย  Ms. Wan Nadia Kamarudin (Lead Analyst), and Mr. Hammad (Senior Analyst).

The official visit by MGTC was a continuation from the first meeting with UTM on 20th July 2020 where MGTC delegates visited the research facilities in the Centre of Hydrogen Energy at UTM Kuala Lumpur.

The meeting during the visit was chaired by the Director of the Institute of Future Energy, Prof. Dr. Arshad Ahmad by welcoming the presence of the MGTC delegates, followed by the brief research presentations from Assoc. Prof. Adnan Ripin (Centre of Hydrogen Energy (CHE) Director), Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Md Pauzi Abdullah (Centre of Electrical Energy Systems (CEES) Director), Ir. Dr. Mohd Azman Abas (Automotive Development Centre (ADC) Director), andย  Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nik Rumzi Nik Idris (Head of UTM-PROTON Future Drives (UPFD) Lab).

Dr. Mohd Azman Abas (ADC Director).

After the meeting, the visit was continued with a site visit to Electrochemistry Lab that headed by Prof. Dr. Aishah Jalil where all their researchers were focusing on the new synthesis and improved catalysts.

Then, the MGTC delegates visited the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Lab, headed by Dr. Tuan Amran Tuan Abdullah where all the hydrogen and fuel cell research teams were conducting experiments there.

There was also a brief presentation by Ts. Mohd Fadhzir about the High-Temperature of Copper Chloride Electrolysis using Proton Exchange Membrane for Hydrogen Production to MGTC delegates.

MGTC delegates were also brought to the aquaponics projects where they can see and experience the integration of lobster farming, tilapia rearing and vegetable farming with the potential of using renewable and sustainable energy from solar modules. The aquaponics project was headed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anwar Johari from the Centre of Hydrogen Energy (CHE).

Prof. Dr. Aishah A. Jalil was explaining about the available facilities and the research that conducted in her Electrochemistry Lab to Mr. Shamsul Bahar (MGTC CEO)

Dr. Tuan Amran was elaborating the demo fuel cell set up in the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Laboratory

Ts. Mohd Fadhzir was explaining the Operation of a High-Temperature Copper Chloride Electrolysis using Proton Exchange Membrane for Hydrogen Production to Mr. Shamsul Bahar, MGTC CEO

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anwar Johari was showing the integrated aquaponic facilities to the MGTC CEO and delegates.

At UTM-PROTON Future Drives lab, MGTC delegates were presented with the latest development on electric vehicle car that involves a lot of research and hard work to develop an EV car prototype that can run 100% using the energy from battery storage.

The visit continued to the Automotive Development Centre (ADC) where the Research and Development (R&D) was focusing on the chassis, driving control dynamics, materials and cooling requirements developments.

The CEO and delegates of MGTC were very keen on the latest development in mobility and sustainable energy researches by our researchers and offered to have an extended Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) since there is already an MoU between Greentech Malaysia and UTM that focusing on human capital development signed previously.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nik Rumzi was showing and explaining the works done for the conversion of ICE engine to full EV car.

Dr. Zulkarnain was a very well versed and passionate about his research in automotive refrigeration and engine optimization

There will be something big coming out from the collaboration between the Malaysian Green Technology & Climate Change Centre (MGTC) and the Institute of Future Energy (IFE) in the near future especially towards the hydrogen fuel cell and sustainable energy research.
