| 3187 | 35993 | Singapore Government | Singapore | Singapore | South Asia and Oceania | C40 | 2017 | Public | Buildings | Carbon emissions reduction from industry | Singapore has recently announced its intent to implement a carbon tax on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 2019. A carbon tax will create a price signal on GHG emissions to incentivise emitters to factor in the costs of their GHG emissions in their business decisions, and encourage companies to improve their energy efficiency and innovate. This will enhance our existing and planned mitigation efforts under our Climate Action Plan, and stimulate clean technology and market innovation. The carbon tax will generally be applied upstream, for example, on power stations and other large direct emitters. For stationary emissions, the government is looking at a proposed threshold of 25,000 tCO2e of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually. The Singapore government is looking at a tax rate of around S$10 and S$20 per tonne of carbon dioxide-equivalent GHG emissions (S$10-20/tCO2e). The Singapore government will consult with stakeholders on the implementation details of the carbon tax. | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |
