Singapore Taxonomy Recognizes Vessel Retrofits for Sustainable Finance
What happened
The Fund for Energy Efficiency Technologies adopted the second edition of the Singapore-Asia Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance. This revised taxonomy recognizes qualifying vessel retrofits and energy efficiency technology installations that measurably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lloyd’s Register completed an independent review of the methodology for measuring fuel savings from wind-assisted propulsion systems after a four-month pilot aboard the Pacific Sentinel, which is operated by Eastern Pacific Shipping.

Why it matters
The taxonomy enables specialized sustainable finance, as the Fund for Energy Efficiency Technologies offers up to 100% upfront financing for energy efficiency installations. Repayments for these installations are linked to verified fuel and regulatory savings.
