The Singapore carbon credit market involves the trading of carbon credits that represent the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent of other greenhouse gases. In Singapore, companies are mandated to report their carbon emissions and reduce their emission intensity under the Mandatory Reporting Scheme legislated by the National Environment Agency (NEA). Non-compliance is subject to penalty. This has increased the demand for carbon credits as companies look to offset part of their emissions by purchasing credits from other organizations that have reduced emissions.

Carbon credits are generated by emissions reduction projects around the world that prevent the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere or remove existing greenhouse gases from the air. Popular projects include renewable energy development, waste management, energy efficiency improvements, and forestation/reforestation. The credits can then be sold on regulated exchanges for companies seeking to balance their emissions.

The Global Singapore Carbon Credit Market Size Is Estimated To Be Valued At US$ 14.5 Mn In 2024 And Is Expected To Exhibit A CAGR Of 21% Over The Forecast Period 2024-2031.

Market Drivers

A major driver of the Singapore carbon credit market is the nationwide regulatory push for emissions reporting and reductions. The Singapore Green Plan 2031 aims to halve emissions from its peak to 33 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2031, and achieve net-zero emissions as soon as viable in the second half of the century. Strict compliance with the Mandatory Reporting Scheme and impending carbon tax measures are prompting more companies to engage in the carbon credit market for compliance and risk mitigation purposes, driving up overall demand and value.

The current geopolitical uncertainties are impacting the growth of the Singapore carbon credit market. With rising geopolitical tensions between major economies, businesses are facing compliance challenges to reduce carbon emissions as countries focus more on national priorities and less on environmental goals. As a result, demand for carbon credits from compliant organizations has decreased in the past year. However, with growing recognition that climate change needs collaborative global actions, the market is expected to bounce back.

To revive future growth, participants in the Singapore carbon credit market need innovative strategies. Projects developing carbon offsets in developing countries can promote sustainable development along with emissions reduction. Demonstrating accurate emission reduction impacts of projects would boost buyer trust. The market can also expand to include removal credits representing carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by nature-based solutions. Adopting technologies like blockchain for carbon credit transactions can make the market more transparent and efficient. Strict quality standards by market regulators along with low transaction costs would attract new investors and organizations needing to offset emissions.

In terms of value, the Singapore carbon credit market is currently concentrated in Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam due to their high emissions profiles as well as policy pushes for low carbon transitions. Majority of carbon offset projects generating credits for the Singapore market are located across these nations, with Indonesia alone accounting for over 40% of credit value.

However, other Asian regions are projected to see fastest growth in demand for Singapore carbon credits during the forecast period. Countries like India and China are aggressively pursuing clean energy and emissions targets under their net zero commitments. Many large organizations based in these locations will increasingly look at offset options to meet climate goals, driving volumes from projects based in South and East Asia. New carbon credit programs are also expanding across Central Asia through initiatives like the Turkmenistan climate neutrality drive, offering new supply sources.
