Close your eyes and listen to the bustling sounds of traffic. Our roads will get quieter in coming years, as more electric vehicles replace their petrol-guzzling counterparts.
How we commute is a key area that demands urgent action as the transport sector relies more heavily on fossil fuels than any other. “Collective and collaborative efforts are required from governments, businesses and consumers to transit towards clean transportation and mitigate the effects of climate change,” says Ms Teo. “This transition will benefit everyone and better prepare us for the future.”Today, electric vehicles generate about half the emissions of internal combustion engine vehicles, estimates the Land Transport Authority of Singapore .
More charging stations for electric cars are also being deployed. Temasek’s portfolio companies SP Group and SMRT, are working with energy solutions company YTL PowerSeraya to expand the EV charging network across residences, shopping malls, commercial buildings, and industrial sites. With Changi Airport being one of the busiest in the world, connecting 170 cities and 125 airlines, decarbonising the aviation sector is also key to achieving net-zero targets.It can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80 per cent compared with conventional jet fuel, according to estimates by international bodies such as Canada-based International Air Transport Association.
However, real-world deployment of sustainable aviation fuel can be a challenge, being three to five times more expensive than conventional fuel.
