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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
