Background ✨
CAAS and the Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo) launched Singapore's first trial for central procurement of voluntary SAF with corporate and airline participants, to test end-to-end operational, commercial and accounting processes for national-level procurement and environmental attributes allocation1. CAAS previously deferred the SAF levy's start, with CAAS director general Han Kok Juan saying Singapore took a "pragmatic pause" while remaining committed to aviation decarbonisation2. SAFCo was established to centrally procure SAF via a dedicated SAF Fund to meet a 1% SAF target in 2026, with ambitions to raise this to 3% to 5% by 2030, alongside aggregating voluntary demand3.
