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

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.
