Singapore taps Rwandan carbon credits to offset local taxes

Both governments will jointly review all submissions to ensure compliance with bilateral standards.

Singapore and Rwanda have launched an application call for carbon credit projects under their Implementation Agreement on carbon credits cooperation.

Projects authorised under the agreement will be implemented in Rwanda and are intended to support additional carbon mitigation activities.

Once authorised, the projects may generate carbon credits aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Under Singapore’s ‘International Carbon Credit Framework’, the credits will be eligible for use by Singapore-based carbon tax-liable companies to offset up to 5% of their taxable emissions.

Interested parties may submit applications for their carbon credit projects in Rwanda to be authorised. Applications submitted will be reviewed by the Singapore and Rwanda governments.

The initiative is Singapore’s fourth call for project applications, following earlier calls under bilateral Implementation Agreements with Ghana, Peru and Bhutan.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
