Singapore reviewing study findings on use of sustainable aviation fuels at Changi Airport

Government agencies are reviewing the findings of a study conducted on the operational and commercial viability of using sustainable aviation fuels at Changi Airport, Transport Minister S Iswaran said on Tuesday. Such fuels can be produced from sustainable resources such as waste oil. It can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%, compared with conventional jet fuel on a lifecycle basis, but it is two to five times more expensive, Iswaran said in Parliament. The study, conducted by the Singapore Government and industry players, has presented options to integrate sustainable aviation fuels with traditional jet fuel at Changi Airport. For instance, at jet fuel facilities or at tank terminals in the existing supply chain. Based on the availability of feedstock in the region, as well as cost and lifecycle assessments, the study also identified viable feedstock-technology combinations for the production of sustainable aviation fuels in Singapore.<br/>
