On June 8, Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced that it will begin selling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) credits. The move is part of an initiative by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and global company Temasek. The project should encourage the production and use of SAF.
There will be a total of 1000 credits corresponding to 1000 tonnes of pure sustainable fuel taken from Singapore Changi Airport to be blended with conventional aviation fuel. Each credit must reduce CO2 emissions by 2.5 tonnes, with an expected total of 2500 tonnes.
Although the amount is very small compared to all the SAF that the aviation sector will need, the company sees it as a start to the transition between fuels.
“As we move forward with the SAF pilot project in Singapore, we are now able to provide more opportunities for our corporate customers and travelers to mitigate their carbon emissions using SAF credits, which are recorded and accounted for in the RSB Book
