Singapore Builds SAF Industry: Opportunities for Foreign Firms

Singapore Builds SAF Industry: Opportunities for Foreign Firms

Singapore is accelerating its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry ahead of the 2026 mandate requiring all departing flights to use SAF. The target starts at 1% of total fuel, rising to 5% by 2030, with SAF expected to account for 65% of aviation emissions reductions by 2050. The government is supporting SAF adoption through policies, centralised procurement, levies and potential credit systems. However, challenges remain, including production scale, cost reduction and workforce development. Singapore already hosts one of the world’s largest SAF facilities, but further expansion and technology deployment are needed. For foreign firms, opportunities exist across SAF production, infrastructure, logistics, technology and skills-building. Singapore’s strategic location also positions it as a hub for future regional SAF growth. Subscribe to Asian Insiders for expert insights on Asia’s biggest opportunities!
