SPEED programme to fuel decarbonisation with $250m

Funding will prioritise the power and industry sectors, helping the biggest energy users pivot to sustainable operations.

Singapore is allocating $250m to boost its decarbonisation efforts through its Singapore Pilots for Energy & Enterprise Decarbonisation (SPEED) programme.

According to authorities, the SPEED programme is part of the Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2030 Decarbonisation Grand Challenge unveiled earlier in March 2026, during the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s Committee of Supply debate.

The programme will support local translational Research, Development & Demonstration (RD&D) of promising low-carbon technologies in the power and industry sectors that are close to market roll-out.

This initiative will support decarbonisation technology pilots through funding support for potentially impactful and nascent decarbonisation solutions, connecting stakeholders, and reducing regulatory hurdles.

“Through SPEED, relevant and impactful technology providers will be supported in translating and commercialising emerging decarbonisation solutions, catering to Singapore’s needs,” a joint statement read.

“SPEED will also create value for Singapore through local co-development of scientific and engineering knowledge, and strengthen Singapore’s reputation as a destination for low-carbon-related RD&D,” it added.

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.
