Parliament Passes Bill to Impose Green Aviation Fuel Levy
Singapore can now impose a fixed levy on all departing flights after Parliament passed a Bill on October 14 to support the use of sustainable aviation fuel by airlines.
Sustainable aviation fuel, mostly made from waste materials such as used cooking oil, is deemed the most practical way to decarbonise the aviation industry as it can be blended with jet fuel and used on existing aircraft and refuelling infrastructure without costly modifications.
The Bill was passed unanimously.
Bill Details
Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling presented the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (Amendment) Bill for debate, stating that the proposed changes will allow the green jet fuel levy to be paid to the CAAS, which will set up a fund to procure and manage such fuel.
