The global transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy is a complex process, requiring not just changes in systems of production but also regulation and the broader society’s commitment to decarbonisation. In small countries such as Singapore, this is further complicated by the lack of domestic renewable energy resources. Despite this, the city-state has pledged to reduce its reliance on natural gas by 2035 and aims to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. To this end, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) is looking to establish new decarbonisation pathways while ensuring a stable electricity market, through efforts such as importing electricity from the region and exploring low-carbon alternatives such as hydrogen.
Join us in a dialogue with Dr Beh Swan Gin, Permanent Secretary (Development) at MTI, as he discusses the roadmap for Singapore’s energy transition, its impact on the country’s economic development, and how Singapore can maintain its position as a leading global city with world-class and innovative enterprises.
