Singapore to buy green jet fuel that reduces at least 40% of lifecycle emissions
In Singapore, The Straits Times reported that Singapore will buy only sustainable aviation fuel that reduces at least 40% of lifecycle emissions compared with traditional jet fuel in order to meet the Republic’s emissions targets.
This is among the newly set-out requirements announced on November 5, according to the report.
The 40% reduction requirement is intended to ensure that Singapore’s efforts to increase green jet fuel adoption will translate into meaningful reductions in emissions, said Daniel Ng, chief sustainability officer of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).
Singapore also requires the sustainable fuel it buys to be eligible under a globally recognized framework set up to address carbon emissions from aviation, known as the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization, the report added.
