Key Takeaways from Our Singapore Sustainable Fuels Investor Forum
We recently hosted a Sustainable Fuel Investor event in Singapore, bringing together voices across Government, Shipping and Aviation to discuss the runway to APAC’s $15 Billion Sustainable Fuels Market.
A huge thank you to our expert panelists and everyone who attended the sell-out event in Singapore - the epicentre for global shipping and aviation at The Hive. Thank you to our partners at StartupBootcamp for their help organising the venue. The event was a massive success, and we were energised by the incredible demand and turnout of investors and industry leaders.
Thank you to our special panellists!

Their insights into the challenges and opportunities in the Sustainable Fuels Market were invaluable, and we are grateful for their contribution to the discussion. It’s clear that the momentum for Sustainable Fuels is building across the APAC region, with significant opportunities emerging in the shipping and aviation sectors. For those who couldn't make it, here's a recap of the night and some of our teams key takeaways:
🔵 First mover advantage is key: The Shale Gas boom in the US proved that bold early movers in energy transitions, especially those leveraging proven tech, can deliver customer needs fast and gain significant returns.
🔵 Shipping and aviation mandates are now arriving after years of advocacy; Policy certainty is catalysing investment at unprecedented speed.
🔵 Timing matters: First movers in sustainable fuels who secure the best projects, sites and feedstocks will have a lasting competitive advantage as capital is poured into the space.
🔵 Government support is stronger than ever: Singapore and Australia are leading with robust funding, incentives and policy certainty to support pioneers and early-stage mover.
🔵 The industry can be complex: This is an opportunity for savvy investors willing to do the work and a natural filter against low-commitment capital.
🔵An opportunity for shared infrastructure between aviation and maritime: Such as using methanol as a fuel and SAF feedstock can unlock cross-sector scale and cost efficiencies. For example, using methanol as a shipping fuel and as a feedstock for SAF, can unlock both scale and provide cost advantages to end users.
