SINGAPORE - The Republic of Singapore Air Force and the Singapore Airlines Engineering Company have taken delivery of the first shipment of sustainable aviation fuel amid an effort to reduce emissio

ns from the aviation sector.

Ms Doris Tan, head of Shell Aviation in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, said the firm was unable to disclose more details about the deals owing to commercial sensitivity. SIAEC said in a statement later on Thursday that it had conducted a successful trial using sustainable aviation fuel for engine tests. The tests were conducted on a Rolls-Royce engine model used to power the Airbus A380 planes.

In a further boost to sustainable aviation fuel efforts here, Neste said on Thursday it will further expand its operations to include a research and development centre in Science Park II in Buona Vista. "Electrification and weight is a very critical combination, unlike other modes of transport, like road transport that can be quite quickly electrified, so we need drop-in solutions. Sustainable aviation fuels reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 per cent," he said.
