6 FAQs about [Singapore commercial energy sources]

Which type of energy is used in Singapore?

About 95 per cent of Singapore’s electricity is generated from natural gas, which is the cleanest form of fossil fuel, as it produces the least amount of carbon emissions per unit of electricity. Using natural gas has allowed Singapore to cut the amount of carbon it releases into the atmosphere.

What percentage of Singapore's energy mix will be natural gas?

By 2035, natural gas will still make up more than 50 per cent of the country’s energy mix, though much less than now, with imports of renewable energy accounting for about 30 per cent. Which are the energy sources that could form the remainder of Singapore’s future fuel mix, and what are the key changes needed to decarbonise the energy sector?

What is the Singapore Energy Statistics (SES)?

We would love to have your valuable feedback. The Singapore Energy Statistics (SES) is Energy Market Authority (EMA)'s annual online publication on energy statistics in Singapore. It aims to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the Singapore energy landscape through a detailed coverage of various energy-related topics.

Why is Singapore importing energy?

The short answer is that Singapore lacks natural renewable energy sources, so importing energy allows it to access cleaner energy sources from abroad. Singapore’s total electricity consumption has increased over the years. It went up by 5.3 per cent from 2020 to 2021, with all sectors seeing a growth in its electricity consumption.

Where does Singapore's Energy come from?

Some 0.9 per cent of the energy mix comes from coal. Singapore’s only coal-burning plant, the Tembusu Multi-Utilities Complex on Jurong Island, supplies steam and electricity to chemical companies on the industrial island. Finally, 0.3 per cent of power for Singapore comes from petroleum products, such as oil.

How does Singapore produce electricity?

Singapore’s electricity is produced by the combustion of natural gas that is piped from Malaysia and Indonesia, NCCS said. The country also diversified its supply of natural gas with the opening of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Jurong Island, with plans to build a second terminal to support new industrial sites and power plants.
