Singapore Airlines Group has advanced its sustainability strategy through new agreements with renewable fuel producers Neste and World Energy, acquiring sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and SAF certificates to support its decarbonisation objectives. Under the first agreement, SIA purchased 1,000 tonnes of CORSIA-eligible neat SAF from Neste, produced at the company’s Singapore refinery and blended for use at Changi Airport. This marks the Group’s second such purchase from Neste’s Singapore facility, contributing to the development of a local SAF supply chain.
In a separate transaction, the Group acquired approximately 2,000 tonnes of CORSIA-eligible SAF in the form of emissions reductions from World Energy, using the Book & Claim Chain of Custody model. This mechanism allows SIA to claim the emissions benefits without physically receiving the fuel, supporting flexibility in global SAF adoption. Both transactions were completed in the first quarter of 2025 and are projected to reduce over 9,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
In parallel, SIA continues its involvement in the Green Fuel Forward campaign, a regional initiative led by the World Economic Forum and Singapore’s GenZero, aimed at boosting awareness and adoption of SAF across the Asia-Pacific.
SIA’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Lee Wen Fen, stated the agreements provide critical insights into SAF certification and sourcing models, strengthening the airline’s capability to meet its goal of 5% SAF use by 2030 and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
