Singapore must lead low-carbon fuel initiatives in SEA: Deloitte

By laying the groundwork for robust-low carbon fuel infrastructure.

Singapore must take the lead in advancing low-carbon fuel initiatives in the region as the drive toward net zero intensifies.

According to Deloitte, Singapore can serve as a model for sustainable aviation and strengthen its position as a global sustainability hub by establishing a robust low-carbon fuel infrastructure amidst ongoing issues.

“For Singapore, advancing low-carbon aviation is both a strategic priority and an opportunity to lead in sustainable innovation," said Josette Soh, Deloitte Singapore sustainability & climate assurance partner.

The report noted synthetic fuel production faces high costs and technological uncertainties, with current production heavily reliant on nascent technologies like direct air capture (DAC).

For consumers, synthetic kerosene could increase airline ticket prices by up to 50%, whilst impacts on maritime shipping costs are minimal due to lower fuel cost contributions.

“By laying the groundwork for a robust low-carbon fuel infrastructure, Singapore can set a model for sustainable aviation in the region and strengthen its position as a global sustainability hub,” Soh said.

“Investing in these advancements now sets the foundation for future economic resilience and sustainable growth."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
