Singapore looking into wider adoption of biofuels, bio-resources to hit net-zero emissions target
In Singapore, EDB reported that Singapore is studying the potential for wider adoption of biofuels and sustainable bio-resources in carbon-intensive sectors such as electricity generation, transport and heavy industry.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) have called for a tender to examine potential sources of biofuels and natural renewables, such as food waste and animal fats, locally and internationally from up to eight countries, according to the report.
This could help the Government secure more sources and types of biofuels for Singapore, accelerating the race towards net zero, the report added.
Singapore has already made some strides in this area: More than 70,000 tons of biofuels have been supplied to ocean-going vessels as at end-2022, and Singapore Airlines is using blended sustainable aviation fuel – made from used cooking oil and animal fats – for all its flights.
