Singapore Airlines secures 3,000 tonnes of SAF

Agreements with Neste and World Energy to cut over 9,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group, including its low-cost arm Scoot, has taken a significant step forward in its decarbonisation strategy by securing a total of 3,000 tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through new agreements with Neste and World Energy.

The deal with Neste involves the purchase of 1,000 tonnes of CORSIA-eligible neat SAF, produced at the company’s Singapore refinery, blended and uplifted directly at Changi Airport. This marks SIA’s second major SAF acquisition from Neste’s local facility, reinforcing Singapore’s growing SAF ecosystem and supply chain resilience.

Complementing this, the SIA Group also acquired around 2,000 tonnes of SAF certificates from World Energy, a U.S.-based renewable fuel provider, using a Book & Claim Chain of Custody model. This approach allows SIA to claim associated emissions reductions without physically transporting the fuel, supporting carbon goals without logistical constraints.

Together, these transactions are projected to reduce more than 9,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, contributing to SIA’s target of reaching 5% SAF usage by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050.

“By working with different suppliers and exploring diverse sourcing models and certification pathways, we gain crucial insights into the SAF landscape,” said Lee Wen Fen, Chief Sustainability Officer at Singapore Airlines.

SIA also continues its involvement in the Green Fuel Forward campaign, an initiative by the World Economic Forum and GenZero aimed at stimulating SAF demand in Asia-Pacific, raising awareness, and fostering regional cooperation for sustainable aviation.
