Decarbonisation Pathways for Singapore (Phase 2.1 and 2.2 Report)

The power sector is critical as it is the foundational pillar of the entire economy’s transition to a net zero economy. Singapore faces an energy trilemma, highlighting the need to balance environmental sustainability, energy reliability and affordability. The 2050 Energy Committee Report by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore describes a set of potential scenarios through which Singapore could achieve net-zero emissions in the power sector by 2050. Using the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), we add on to the discussion by assessing potential pathways to decarbonising Singapore’s power sector within the ASEAN Green Future project. We would like to underscore that these hypothetical simulations and optimisations serve as a preliminary academic exercise which do not necessarily reflect our position on the best way to achieve net zero. The goal of this report is to explore different possibilities that can facilitate policy discussions on this topic.
