We have partnered with ExxonMobil Singapore and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, launching a six-month trial to fuel airside vehicles and generator sets with renewable diesel at Changi Airport. This marks a further step towards dnata's goal of reducing our carbon footprint by 50% by 2030.
#wearednata
dnata Singapore continues to take the leadership role in Singapore.
We lead the market in terms of entry level pay ($2,500 guaranteed for all shift workers)
We lead the market for investment in green (electric/hybrid) gse (belt loaders, transporters, towing tractors and forklifts)
And now we lead in smartly reducing emissions of our remaining motorised fleet through renewable diesel.
Thank you to ExxonMobil Singapore and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore for partnering on this market leading initiative
This is awesome! One of the reasons I was keen to join dnata is the commitment to sustainability and doing our part to transform an industry that's known for it's heavy carbon footprint - we're part of the solution!
It’s great to see the Singapore team leading the way as we navigate the energy transition. It’s going to take a mix of technologies to achieve net zero and it’s clear that lower emission fuels will play an important role in decarbonising transport, especially the harder-to-abate sectors like heavy transport and aviation.
The great thing about renewable diesel like the one being trialed in Singapore is that it is suitable for use with existing diesel engines. We’d love to see Renewable Diesel flowing to Aotearoa New Zealand. Policy that encourages the supply of lower emission fuels can help.
Esso Singapore is proud to offer Esso Renewable Diesel R20 as an alternative solution to help lower lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions* in the transportation sector.
We are excited to collaborate with dnata to trial Esso R20 for 12 of dnata’s airside vehicles and generator sets in support of their sustainability goals!
Made with 20% of renewable content, Esso R20 is a high-quality drop-in fuel with an estimated 15.4%* lower lifecycle GHG emissions compared to conventional diesel.
Suitable for immediate use with existing diesel engines while still delivering the same great protection and cleaning power for your engine with our proprietary Esso Synergy additive – simply drive your diesel vehicle to Esso Bedok South, Lower Peirce, Jurong East & Woodlands Ave 1 and fuel up with ease today!
*The estimated reduction in life cycle GHG emissions, also referred to as Carbon Intensity (CI), is based on a comparison of Esso Renewable Diesel R20 to conventional diesel using the United States GREET 2023 model (https://lnkd.in/d8DZsEjh) estimates to compare the life cycle emissions of each fuel. Actual results may vary.

Interesting to see Exxon marketing its #RenewableDiesel in Singapore as "R20" to reflect a 20% blend of HVO (see below).
This nomenclature is already prevalent elsewhere in the road fuels sector. Gasoline in Europe — finished grade, as well as informally the blendstocks — is sold and traded as 'E5' and 'E10' to reflect the ethanol blends.
It's also been floated recently for #SustainableAviationFuel, in various guises, after Virgin Atlantic got a slap on the wrist for its promotion of a flight using 100% SAF (links in the comments).
Taking the lead from RD/EBOB and adopting this labelling (e.g. 'SAF100') wouldn’t solve aviation’s advertising problem. The Virgin flight "saved the lifecycle equivalent of 95 tonnes of CO2 or 64% of the emissions of a standard London Heathrow to New York JFK flight". Some have mused shouldn't it therefore have been 'SAF64', so the name reflects the emissions savings rather than the SAF blend.
But it took Virgin almost six months to announce its findings into the lifecycle emissions savings for "Flight 100". While such analyses will be turned around more quickly in future, how viable is this marketing approach if the precise emissions impact is known only retrospectively?
Added to feedstock profile, CO2 savings may not be uniformly realised across supply chains or flights. For example, certain flying conditions could affect the emissions savings, so that a 100% SAF blend may result in a 'better' performance on one flight versus another.
Is an emissions savings-based approach conducive to standardising labelling? Or should aviation fuel marketers stick with the existing transportation standard, name according to SAF blend, and then it'd be up to airlines and the wider aviation community to carefully manage public expectations about the sustainability of flying on SAF via more nuanced marketing campaigns?
Anyway, maybe this labelling chatter is all a distraction from the bigger story: 100% SAF produced via existing pathways (HEFA) DOES NOT realise full emissions reduction. Such an achievement won't probably come until so-called eFuels are made available at commercial scale. In the meantime, there will be those who say the #aviationindustry should top-up its sustainability efforts by offsetting the balance of emissions with carbon credits*.
One final curveball... Since these efforts are about reducing/eliminating aviation's CO2 footprint, shouldn't this lead us to focus on measuring SAF not on a 'blend %' nor in the procurement/trading sphere on '$ per ton of fuel', but based on '$ per ton of CO2 abated'...?
Until true carbon abatement data is available ahead of or in real time, there is no perfect solution.
Any and all rebuttals/support/clarifications are welcome!
PS: I'm working on some new SAF/carbon benchmarks at General Index, so if you'd like to discuss further, send me a message here or an email to [email protected].
*note: this is what Virgin Atlantic says it did for Flight 100

PT Pertamina (Persero) reaffirms its commitment to developing Pertamina Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a sustainable aviation fuel with a renewable energy content blend. Today, on Friday (27/10), Pertamina SAF is being launched through a collaborative mission between Pertamina and the commercial airline Garuda Indonesia.
SAF development is one of Pertamina's efforts in the energy transition, especially in the aviation business, while supporting the Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2060 target achievement. Pertamina SAF is an environmentally friendly fuel that uses a mixture of palm oil components in the SAF formula to reduce aircraft emissions. Additionally, palm oil components utilization can stimulate domestic industrial and economic development.
