In Singapore, The Straits Times reported that the Government of Singapore is studying the potential for wider adoption of biofuels and sustainable bio-resources in carbon-intensive sectors such as electricity generation, transport and heavy industry with the aim of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,
According to the report, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) have called for a tender to examine potential sources of biofuels and natural renewables, such as food waste and animal fats, locally and internationally from up to eight countries.
This move could help the Singaporean government secure more sources and types of biofuels for Singapore, the report adds.
