 Singapore Airways (SIA) and Scoot are aiming to exchange 5% of their whole gasoline
necessities with sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF) by 2030.

Given its potential to cut back carbon emissions by
as much as 80% on a life-cycle foundation in comparison with typical jet gasoline,
SAF is a key decarbonisation lever for the airline trade and significant to
SIA Group’s
purpose of attaining web zero carbon emissions by 2050.

“This is a crucial milestone within the
SIA Group’s sustainability journey. The higher use of sustainable
gasoline might be a key lever in our decarbonisation technique, which
contains our continued funding in new technology plane and
higher operational efficiencies. Collectively, it will put us on
the trail in the direction of our web zero goal,” stated Goh Choon Phong, Chief
Government Officer, Singapore Airways. “Nevertheless, we can not do that alone. Deeper
collaboration with companions and stakeholders, each in Singapore
and all over the world, is required for all of us to satisfy our
collective sustainability targets. We’ll proceed to search out
alternatives to work collectively to assist the higher manufacturing
and use of sustainable gasoline within the airline trade, in addition to
different decarbonisation initiatives.”

As a member of Singapore’s
Worldwide Advisory Panel (IAP) to develop the sustainable air
hub blueprint, SIA has been taking part in an lively half within the
improvement of a decarbonisation roadmap for the nation’s
aviation sector.

Over the past
few years, SIA Group has been working carefully with companions, each
in Singapore and all over the world, to raised perceive the
operational and industrial issues that will assist the
higher provide and adoption of SAF.

The group additionally helps IATA and different stakeholders of their efforts to
agree on the core ideas of varied SAF accounting strategies
which is able to improve belief that emission
reductions from utilizing SAF might be reliably tracked, traced and
accounted for.

In 2017, in partnership with the Civil Aviation
Authority of Singapore (CAAS), SIA operated 12 inexperienced package deal
flights from San Francisco to Singapore that integrated the use
of SAF, fuel-efficient plane, and optimised flight operations.

In 2020, SIA entered a year-long partnership with
Stockholm’s Swedavia Airport to deploy a mix of jet gasoline and SAF
via the airport’s gasoline hydrant system on SIA flights between
Stockholm and Moscow. This partnership improved the group’s
understanding of the logistics and procurement of renewable fuels.

In September 2023, SIA, CAAS, and GenZero,
concluded a 20-month SAF pilot beneath which 1,000 tonnes of neat
SAF had been imported, blended in Singapore, and uplifted through Changi
Airport’s gasoline hydrant system on SIA and Scoot flights.

An
equal 1,000 SAF credit had been generated via a trusted
trade customary, the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials
(RSB) E-book & Declare System, representing roughly 2,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide reductions. The credit had been supplied to
corporates and freight forwarders as an avenue to cut back their
carbon footprint whereas supporting the event of a nascent SAF
trade.

One of many main hindrances dealing with the
airline trade’s sustainable aviation objectives for 2030, might be
the truth that there may be merely not sufficient SAF at the moment accessible
globally, and refineries, though confirmed in some situations,
are but to even start building.

The SIA Group stated that discussions with gasoline suppliers on alternatives
to buy sustainable aviation gasoline are ongoing.
