Shell supplies first sustainable aviation fuel to Singapore
Shell has become the first supplier of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Singapore, the company announced during the Singapore Airshow on Thursday.
The first batch of SAF was blended in Europe, but the company plans to start blending the fuel at its upgraded plant in Singapore soon – a facility that will help test the supply chain it is establishing for SAF in Asia, Shell said in a statement.
“We have delivered some (SAF) to our customers SIA Engineering Company and the Republic of Singapore Air Force,” Doris Tan, head of aviation Asia Pacific & Middle East, said in a statement.
Aviation accounts for more than 3 percent of the world’s carbon emissions and is considered one of the toughest sectors to tackle due to a lack of alternative technologies to jet-fuelled engines.
