SINGAPORE - The sustainability of the Changi air hub, alongside its competitiveness and efficiency, will anchor its value proposition moving forward, Transport Minister S. Iswaran said on Wednesday .

He said work is under way on several fronts to reduce carbon emissions in the sector, amid the development of a sustainability blueprint by an international advisory panel.

This includes work in areas such as electrification, tapping renewable energy sources and energy efficiency.Such fuel is produced from renewable raw materials, such as used cooking oil or animal fat from food industry waste. "So it is an effort that requires a systemic level of response. That is an example of the kind of things we are looking at."

On the international front, Singapore hopes to at least show the way forward in aviation and contribute to global efforts to cut emissions in the sector, Mr Iswaran said. Finnish producer Neste had said at a media briefing last month that Singapore would have the world's largest sustainable aviation fuel production capacity when its Tuas facility is completed in the first half of next year.

This is so as Singapore is a technologically advanced aerospace hub located in a region where demand for air travel will rapidly grow.
