Singapore and Australia have agreed to strengthen cooperation on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), biofuels, and other clean energy initiatives. The announcement was made on October 8 during the 10th Singapore-Australia Annual Leaders’ Meeting in Canberra, where both nations unveiled the upgraded Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP 2.0).
Singapore currently leads the biofuel sector in the region, hosting Neste’s 1-million-ton-per-year SAF refinery, one of the largest globally. The country also plans to introduce SAF blending mandates in 2026, requiring all departing flights to use at least 1% SAF, with the target rising to 3–5% by 2030, advancing regional green aviation goals.
