Singapore is accelerating its push to decarbonize aviation by putting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at the center of its strategy. On Jan. 29, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said it will roll out the first voluntary SAF procurement trial, paving the way for a blending mandate set to take effect in October.
Meanwhile, Singapore-based conglomerate Keppel and chemicals and energy firm Aster have announced a partnership to develop Asia’s first commercial-scale ethanol-to-jet (EtJ) SAF plant on Jurong Island, a move expected to significantly expand regional SAF supply.
