The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has marked a step forward in its decarbonisation program through new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) agreements with Neste and World Energy. The agreements enhance the Group’s operational sustainability while reinforcing its corporate commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
In the first quarter of 2025, SIA acquired 1,000 tons of CORSIA-eligible near SAF from Neste, produced and blended locally at the company’s Singapore refinery and uplifted at Changi Airport. This represents the Group’s second SAF transaction with Neste’s Singapore facility, supporting national SAF ecosystem development and supply chain resilience.
Concurrently, the Group secured an additional 2,000 tons of SAF-linked emissions reduction from U.S.-based World Energy via the Book & Claim model, allowing it to claim associated carbon reductions without requiring physical fuel delivery.
Together, these transactions are expected to cut over 9,500 tons of carbon emissions and further SIA’s “test-and-learn” approach to sourcing and certifying SAF, a cornerstone of its strategy to reach 5 percent SAF usage by 2030.
“This is about building a robust and future-ready SAF capability,” said Ms Lee Wen Fen, chief sustainability officer at Singapore Airlines. “Through supplier partnerships and diverse sourcing models, we strengthen both our technical knowledge and our capacity to scale SAF adoption.”
SIA is also an active participant in the Green Fuel Forward campaign by the World Economic Forum and Singapore-based GenZero, which aims to accelerate SAF uptake in the Asia-Pacific through cross-industry collaboration.
These efforts underscore the Group’s leadership in sustainable aviation and its long-term mission to decarbonise air travel through innovation, strategic partnerships, and industry-wide policy advocacy.
