Singapore to require departing flights to use SAF from 2026

In Singapore, Reuters reported that Singapore plans to require all flights departing the country to use sustainable aviation fuel from 2026. Under the plan, announced by Singapore Transport Minister Chee Hong, the country aims for a 1% SAF target from 2026 and plans to raise it to 3-5% by 2030, subject to global developments and the wider availability and adoption of SAF. “The use of SAF is a critical pathway for the decarbonization of aviation and is expected to contribute around 65% of the carbon emission reduction needed to achieve net zero by 2050,” the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), which developed the plan in consultation with industry and other stakeholders, said in a statement.
