The tests will allow SAFCo to refine operational, commercial and accounting processes required to meet an initial plan for flights from Singapore to use 1% sustainable fuel, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said Monday in a statement. Singapore aims to achieve an adoption rate of 3% to 5% by 2030.
(Feb 2): Alphabet Inc’s Google, Singapore Airlines Ltd and DBS Group Holdings Ltd are among companies that will test the city-state’s plan for central procurement of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), as officials aim to curb emissions from air travel.
A total of nine firms plan to join the voluntary trial to purchase SAF through the Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company Ltd, or SAFCo, an entity being established under plans to begin charging a world-first green levy on departing flights from October.
