Singapore Airlines Group has taken significant strides in its decarbonisation efforts by signing agreements with Neste and World Energy to acquire Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and SAF certificates. These agreements, completed in the first quarter of 2025, are expected to reduce over 9,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, marking a crucial step in the airline’s sustainability journey.
The Group’s first transaction involved acquiring 1,000 tonnes of Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA)-eligible neat SAF from Neste, produced at the company’s Singapore refinery. This purchase supports the development of Singapore’s SAF ecosystem and strengthens supply chain resilience. Additionally, Singapore Airlines acquired approximately 2,000 tonnes of CORSIA-eligible SAF from World Energy, a US-based producer, using the Book & Claim Chain of Custody model. This innovative approach allows the Group to claim emissions reductions without the need for physical fuel delivery.
Chief Sustainability Officer Lee Wen Fen highlighted the importance of these agreements, stating, “These agreements represent important steps in the SIA Group’s broader strategy to scale up its use of sustainable aviation fuel.” The airline aims to use 5% SAF by 2030 and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The Singapore Airlines Group’s strategy includes expanding SAF supply through partnerships, advocating for supportive policies, and raising awareness within the aviation sector. By collaborating with industry partners, the Group is committed to a sustainable and carbon-neutral aviation future.
