Abstract:
This study presents a comparison of pathways to emission reduction in Singapore including its neighbouring countries. Given Singapore’s limited renewable resources, electricity imports are one possible pathway to reduce the country’s carbon footprint. This study quantitatively shows that restricting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Singapore alone leads to a higher dependence on electricity imports as compared to setting a GHG emission reduction goal for the whole Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) which allows for more local power generation from fossil fuels in Singapore. Our findings show that with regional collaboration and infrastructure investment for grid expansion, Singapore can leverage ASEAN’s renewable energy resources to meet its targets, enhancing both regional energy security and economic integration. This study aims to provide strategic insights for policymakers on achieving a low-carbon future through regional energy cooperation.
