Transport ministry pushes sustainable aviation fuel bill
The bill will empower CAAS to collect a fixed SAF levy from air transport users.
The Ministry of Transport has introduced a bill to amend the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) Act 2009, enabling the implementation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) policies.
If passed, the bill will empower CAAS to collect a fixed SAF levy from air transport users, based on the volume of SAF needed and a projected premium, to create a SAF Fund.
The fund will be used to procure, manage and allocate SAF and SAF environmental attributes (EAs) to cover related administrative costs.
The bill will also establish a central procurement entity to carry out these functions.
