SINGAPORE: Aviation hub Singapore would require airways departing from the city-state to make use of sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF) from 2026 as a part of business plans to chop carbon emissions, the transport minister stated Monday.
However because the environmentally pleasant gasoline is three to 5 occasions dearer than standard jet gasoline, authorities will introduce a levy on tickets to assist cushion prices, Chee Hong Tat informed an aviation summit.
Aviation is liable for between two and three % of worldwide CO2 emissions but it surely is without doubt one of the most tough industries to decarbonise.
SAFs are produced from renewable biomass and waste assets and might comprise as much as 50 % of jet gasoline mixes.
They’re seen as the primary device for decarbonising the aviation sector, however the expertise continues to be in its infancy and manufacturing stays costly.
“To kickstart SAF adoption in Singapore, we will require flights departing Singapore to use SAF from 2026,” Chee stated in a speech.
Airliners might be required to make use of a jet gasoline combine that’s 1 % SAF that yr, regularly growing to between 3 and 5 % by 2030, he added.
“This will provide an important demand signal to fuel producers and give them the incentive to invest in new SAF production facilities,” Chee stated.
To partially offset the associated fee, Singapore will accumulate a levy that varies relying on the space travelled and the journey class.
Beginning in 2026, an economic system ticket on a direct flight from Singapore to London might enhance by Sg$16.0 ($12.0), in response to Chee.
Passengers with premium tickets pays greater levies.
“We will monitor global developments and the wider availability and adoption of SAF in the next few years, before deciding on the SAF target beyond 2026,” Chee stated.
The Worldwide Civil Aviation Group (ICAO) has set a purpose for the business to attain web zero carbon emissions by 2050, and SAF is vital to reaching that concentrate on.
Chee stated that it was finest to take a gradual method.
An “overly ambitious” goal “will hurt our air hub and our economy, and raise the cost of travel for passengers,” he stated on the summit, which is being held on the eve of the Singapore Airshow, Asia’s largest aviation occasion.
