The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has signed separate agreements with renewable fuel producers Neste and World Energy to purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and associated emissions reduction certificates, furthering its decarbonisation efforts and building experience with evolving fuel certification and supply models.
In the first agreement, the Group acquired 1,000 tonnes of neat SAF that meets the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) criteria. The fuel was produced by Neste at its Singapore refinery, blended and uplifted at Changi Airport. This marks the Group’s second procurement of neat SAF from Neste’s Singapore facility, contributing to the development of the local SAF ecosystem and improving supply chain resilience.
Separately, SIA purchased approximately 2,000 tonnes of CORSIA-eligible SAF in the form of emissions reductions from US-based producer World Energy. This was done via the Book & Claim Chain of Custody model, which enables emissions reductions to be claimed without the physical delivery of fuel.
Both transactions were completed in the first quarter of 2025 and are expected to offset more than 9,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
SIA is also participating in the Green Fuel Forward campaign, a regional initiative co-launched by the World Economic Forum and Singapore-based investment platform GenZero. The campaign aims to raise awareness, stimulate demand for SAF in the Asia-Pacific, and encourage collaboration between regional airlines and corporations.
“These agreements represent important steps in the SIA Group’s broader strategy to scale up its use of sustainable aviation fuel,” said Ms Lee Wen Fen, Chief Sustainability Officer at Singapore Airlines. “By working with different suppliers and exploring diverse sourcing models and certification pathways, we gain crucial insights into the SAF landscape and we can better understand the pathways towards a more sustainable aviation ecosystem.
“The SIA Group will continue to work with partners around the world to test and implement solutions that support the airline industry’s long-term decarbonisation goals. This will allow us to validate SAF demand, enhance our technical expertise in this area, and strengthen our ability to meet our medium-term commitment of 5% SAF use by 2030 and long-term goal net zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
