Carbon Measures Opens Singapore Office, Launches Marine Fuel Pilot
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- Carbon Measures, a global business coalition promoting product-level carbon accounting, has established its first Asia-Pacific office in Singapore, with support from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
Announced at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye, the office will serve as the organisation’s regional hub and focus on decarbonisation policies for hard-to-abate industries.
The coalition has also launched its first in-country pilot in Singapore, which will test how carbon emissions can be measured for individual products across the marine fuel supply chain, from production to combustion, starting with bio-liquefied natural gas used in shipping.
“This first in-country pilot in Singapore gives us an opportunity to bring together industry, nonprofits, and the government to test how product-level carbon intensity standards can work in practice,” said Carbon Measures Chief Executive Officer, Amy Brachio in a statement.
The pilot will also explore how verified product-level carbon data can support commercial contracts and be made easier for companies of all sizes to produce.
EDB Executive Vice President, Lim Wey-Len said Carbon Measures’ presence would help develop specialised carbon accounting expertise and create good jobs for Singaporeans.
Marine fuel companies, Singapore government agencies, the business-led climate coalition SB COP, non-profits and academic partners will take part in the pilot, which is the first of several that Carbon Measures plans to run across different countries and product categories.
