Grid Emission Factor
Singapore’s average Operating Margin (OM) Grid Emission Factor (GEF) improved from
0.4912 kg CO2/kWh in 2012 to 0.4499 kg CO2/kWh in 2013. This was mainly due to the
greater use of natural gas for electricity generation which resulted in its share of fuel mix
rising to 92%, compared to 84% recorded a year earlier.
The Build Margin (BM) Emission Factor improved from 0.4333 kg CO2/kWh in 2012 to 0.4112
kg CO2/kWh in 2013. In general, Singapore’s BM emission factor trends lower than the OM
emission factor. This is because newer plants in Singapore (predominantly CCGTs) are more
efficient and primarily use fuels with a lower carbon content (such as natural gas) compared
to other fossil fuels.
