Singapore's Emissions Profile

SINGAPORE’S EMISSIONS PROFILE

Singapore contributes around 0.1 per cent of global emissions. We are nevertheless taking steps to reduce our carbon emissions.

Historically, our strategic position along the East-West trade routes has made Singapore a natural location for oil storage and refining facilities serving the region. Building on our position as a key regional port, the refining and petrochemical plants help create synergies and are part of a business supply network in Southeast Asia, the Western Pacific, South Asia and Australasia. Although the refining and petrochemical sector is a large source of our carbon emissions, energy efficiency improvement will remain a key strategy to reduce the industry sector’s emissions.
