Singapore Crude Oil Production
Singapore is the world's third largest oil products trading place. Thanks to its geographical position, at the extremity of the Strait of Malacca and on the shipping routes connecting the Middle Eastern producing countries to the Southeast Asian importing countries, Singapore is a key crossing point for oil trade in Asia. Moreover, the country built an artificial island, Jurong Island, entirely dedicated to the oil industry.

Singapore Renewable in % Electricity Production
In 2019, the government announced a new target of 2 GW of solar PV (on industrial land and roof spaces) by 2030 (0.5 GW in 2022). Solar development is supported through the SolarNova programme. The Housing and Development Board (HDB) plans to install PV panels on half of its rooftops. The city state also plans to double the floating solar capacity to 160 MW and to add 200 MW of energy storage system (ESS) by 2025. In 2020, the first ESS facility was installed for a test-bed (2.4 MW) and a 285 MWh storage site was commissioned in 2023.

Singapore CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In 2022,the government announced that it would reduce its carbon emissions target for 2030 to 60 MtCO2eq, corresponding to 7.7% additional reduction compared to its NDC target (or 5 MtCO2eq). It also aims at achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The first NDC set the target of reducing the GHG emission intensity by 36% from 2005 levels by 2030 (65 MtCO2eq), with an aim of achieving peak emissions around 2030. The updated NDC (2020) included nitrogen trifluoride gases (NF3) within the peak emissions ceiling and kept the same reduction target.
