Shamsul Leman plays a key role in developing the end-to-end sustainability strategy for Singapore Airlines to reduce carbon emissions, waste and the use of energy and resources.

He is responsible for ensuring compliance with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). He was part of the ICAO Technical Task Force and industry working groups that developed CORSIA Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV) requirements.

He spearheads the Sustainable Aviation Fuel initiatives, from being an active member of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel User Group (SAFUG) which aims to accelerate the commercial use of SAF, to coordinating the delivery of the world’s first “green package flights” using SAF from San Francisco to Singapore in 2017 and the SAF deployment at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm in 2020. 

Gerald Ng leads the Changi Airport Group’s (CAG) Environment and Sustainability team.

He is responsible for CAG’s efforts to mitigate carbon emissions for Changi Airport including commitments under the Airport Council International’s (“ACI”) Airport Carbon Accreditation scheme, coordinates climate resilience measures and partners airport stakeholders to ensure that Changi Airport continues to grow as a leading international aviation hub in an environmentally sustainable manner.

As Vice-Chair of the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee, member of the ACI World Environment Standing Committee and member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Sustainable Tourism, Gerald believes in the importance of sharing sustainability best-practices across countries and the pivotal role that aviation plays in de-carbonisation, through revolutionary initiatives such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

As a Project Lead within the Future Fuels team, Sjoerd leads several early-stage projects which aim to develop commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capacity.

He is currently leading two international development projects for SAF production capacity. In that regard, he’s responsible for all aspects of the business case including technology selection, feedstock sourcing, safeguarding sustainability, offtake contracts and policy monitoring. Since SkyNRG is a feedstock and technology agnostic project developer, the starting point of these development projects is sustainability and fit with the local context.

Next to that, Sjoerd also led several consulting projects where he and the SkyNRG team educate and advise partners all over the world on SAF-related topics.
