Singapore debuts central SAF procurement trial via 11-member coalition

The trial tests national-level procurement ahead of the 1 October SAF Levy.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), the Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company Ltd. (SAFCo), and nine companies have launched Singapore’s first trial for central procurement of voluntary sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding at the 3rd Changi Aviation Summit on 2 February to trial SAF purchases through SAFCo.

The participating companies are Boston Consulting Group, Changi Airport Group, DBS Bank, GenZero, Google, OCBC, Temasek, Singapore Airlines, and Scoot.

SAFCo was established by CAAS in October 2025 to centrally procure SAF for Singapore’s air hub, supporting the country’s target to use 1% SAF for flights departing Singapore.

From 1 October 2026, a SAF levy will be applied to flights departing Singapore.

The trial will test the operational, commercial and accounting processes needed for national-level SAF procurement and environment attributes (EAs) allocation.

Participating companies will access SAF and associated EAs, and take part in the procurement and accounting processes using aggregated demand for SAF purchases.

The trial is expected to support Singapore’s national SAF policy implementation.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
