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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
