In Singapore, Pacific Environment and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have issued a new study highlighting that strict and reliable fuel certification is essential to keep the global shipping industry’s transition to clean fuels honest and fraud-free. The study, “The role of sustainable fuels certification schemes in maritime decarbonization”, was led by the Maritime […]
In Singapore, Channel New Asia reports Singapore will proceed with its sustainable aviation fuel levy for passengers, general aviation and business aviation, but delay the levy for air cargo by one year. Passengers buying tickets from October 1, 2026, for flights departing from January 1, 2027, will pay the levy as a separate fare item. […]
In Singapore, Singapore and Brazil have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish the Singapore-Brazil Green and Digital Shipping Corridor (GDSC). The MOU was signed by Singapore’s Minister for Transport, Mr Jeffrey Siow, and Brazil’s Minister of Ports and Airports, Mr Tomé Franca. The partnership will strengthen cooperation between Singapore and Brazil on maritime decarbonisation […]
In Singapore, the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) released its report, Quantity assurance in marine biofuel supply chains, outlining a practical approach to help shipowners verify that they receive both the total quantity of fuel and the renewable content contracted. The approach draws on evidence from GCMD’s end-to-end marine biofuel supply chain trials conducted […]
In Singapore, the Maritime Energy & Sustainable Development Centre of Excellence (MESD) latest study evaluated B100 fuel storage stability, engine performance, emissions and operational readiness through controlled laboratory testing and sea trials involving a tugboat and a bunker tanker. The findings are highly encouraging: · Stable engine performance was maintained throughout the 200-hour sea trials, […]
In Singapore, BHP and the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) have blended biofuels from two distinct feedstocks—used cooking oil and waste animal fats —and introduced the lower-emissions marine fuel into a BHP-chartered bulk carrier as part of a pilot project. The BHP and GCMD pilot will assess how biofuels from multiple feedstocks can be […]
In Singapore, Novel Biofuels, ACTUAL, and the Government of Maharashtra recently announced a commitment of more than one million metric tons of biomethanol available from 2030 to serve global shipping lines seeking secure, long-term access to clean maritime fuel. The commitment establishes the largest contracted supply position on the India–Singapore Green Shipping Corridor, a route […]
In Singapore, FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd. and Aether Fuels announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to jointly explore the potential development of SAF supply-chain, blending and associated activities in support of Aether’s Project Beacon and future Aether Sustainable Aviation Fuel projects. Through the MOU, the parties will evaluate how a next-generation SAF […]
In Singapore, one of the most promising routes for diversifying fuel production from crude oil is using renewable electricity for electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value products such as ethylene that today come almost exclusively from petroleum refining. A team led by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the College of […]
In Singapore, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS CDE) have demonstrated a simple way to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value products far more efficiently and greener. By coating copper catalysts with films just two to five nanometres thick of biopolymers sourced from seafood shells, wood and other biological waste, the researchers achieved […]
