HVO is a high-quality bio-based paraffin fuel produced from waste materials, residual fats, and oils, which can reduce life-cycle carbon emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil diesel, and is compatible with existing diesel generator infrastructure without the need for technical modifications, provided that the system is approved for HVO use. For data centers, this offers a practical and immediately deployable decarbonization solution for backup power. Additionally, this aligns with Singapore's Green Data Center Roadmap (GDCR) and its long-term goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.

This position paper outlines the key directions for promoting the comprehensive application of HVO, including unifying standards, ensuring cost competitiveness, simplifying regulatory approval processes, strengthening market cultivation and cooperation among supply chain parties, and continually promoting research, development, and innovation.

With the accelerated development of the regional digital economy, data centers have become a key driver of growth in Singapore and the Asia region. Rolls-Royce Power Systems is committed to unlocking its potential through carbon-efficient fuel solutions. This can serve as a sustainable power source that not only promotes growth but also aligns with important national goals such as the green data center roadmap. We must continue to work hand in hand with partners, including Microsoft, to create the necessary conditions to make this vision a reality.
