Singapore, 7 August 2026 – The Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company Ltd. (SAFCo), with support from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), and nine participating companies today announced the successful delivery of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) under Singapore’s first voluntary SAF procurement trial. The milestone advances Singapore’s national SAF ecosystem and validates the operational, commercial and accounting processes needed for SAFCo’s procurement and environmental attributes (EA) allocation framework, which enables the emissions reduction benefits associated with SAF use to be accounted for in a transparent and credible manner.

The participating companies are the Boston Consulting Group, Changi Airport Group, DBS Bank, GenZero, Google, OCBC, Temasek, Singapore Airlines and Scoot. Through the trial, they gained practical experience in SAF procurement and the accounting processes associated with SAF environmental attributes to support their sustainability commitments. Their participation has also provided valuable insights into how corporates and airlines can contribute to the development of a scalable SAF ecosystem in Singapore.

The SAF was procured through SAFCo’s demand aggregation model and supplied into Changi Airport’s fuel distribution network. The SAF procured under the trial was certified against ISCC CORSIA [1] standards. The delivery demonstrates how SAF demand from multiple corporate buyers and airlines can be consolidated through a single procurement mechanism, enabling more efficient and cost-effective access to SAF.

Following the SAF delivery, SAFCo is working with stakeholders and registry partners (ISCC [2] and RSB [3]) to complete the verification, registration and issuance of SAF environmental attribute certificates. Participating companies are expected to receive their environmental attribute certificates in Q4 2026, supported by sustainability certification and chain-of-custody documentation. Under the trial, the environmental attributes will be allocated to participating airlines and corporates to support the accounting of emissions reductions associated with airlines’ flight operations and corporates’ business travel.

As an ISCC CORSIA-certified Trader, SAFCo applies internationally recognised sustainability standards in the management and allocation of SAF environmental attributes, helping to ensure transparency, traceability and credibility in emissions reduction claims associated with SAF use.

Strengthening Confidence in Scalable SAF Adoption

The successful delivery is a key step in strengthening operational capabilities, systems and processes needed to support Singapore’s broader SAF adoption plans and the implementation of its national SAF policy. The trial provided valuable insights into demand aggregation, commercial contracting, fuel logistics, sustainability assurance and environmental attributes allocation, while enhancing the ecosystem’s readiness to support SAF deployment at scale. It also reinforces the foundations of a scalable, transparent and credible SAF ecosystem, building market confidence and supporting long-term growth.

Building on the trial, SAFCo invites corporates, cargo operators, freight forwarders, logistics providers and other companies seeking to reduce aviation-related emissions to participate in future SAF procurement opportunities. SAFCo’s demand aggregation model provides access to SAF environmental attributes backed by sustainability certification, chain-of-custody documentation and registry-based tracking, offering a credible and scalable pathway to support aviation decarbonisation.

Ms Tan Seow Hui, Chief Executive Officer, SAFCo, said: “This milestone validates the complex orchestration required to aggregate SAF demand from multiple companies and translate it into wider SAF uptake within Singapore’s aviation ecosystem. We are building a trusted, internationally aligned framework that gives companies confidence in the sustainability, traceability and integrity of the SAF environmental attributes they receive. We believe that transparency, credibility and robust environmental assurance standards are fundamental to scaling SAF adoption.”

[1] CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) is a global market-based measure established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to address CO₂ emissions from international aviation. It includes sustainability and lifecycle emissions criteria for CORSIA-eligible fuels, including SAF.

[2] ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) is a globally recognised sustainability certification system that supports the certification, traceability and sustainability assurance of SAF supply chains. ISCC also operates registry and credit transfer solutions that enable the tracking and allocation of SAF environmental attributes.

[3] RSB (Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials) is a global, multi-stakeholder network advancing the just transition to a net-positive world. Its peer-reviewed sustainability framework supports real climate action, biodiversity protection and social equity across the bio-based and circular economy. Through certification, advisory services, collaborative programmes and innovative tools, RSB supports its partners to make credible sustainability claims and unlock investment for a sustainable future. Through its Book & Claim programme, RSB operates its Book & Claim Registry which enables the registration, transfer and retirement of sustainability attributes, supporting credible and transparent sustainability claims.
