Built Environment Decarbonisation Technology Roadmap

Built Environment Decarbonisation Technology Roadmap

Singapore is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to about 45 to 50 million tonnes (MtCO2e) by 2035, from the projected 60 MtCO2e target in 2030.

Technology plays a key role in the transition to encourage the switch to low-carbon alternatives and drive transformational change. To this end, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), with support from A*STAR, have refreshed the 2018 Super Low Energy Building Technology Roadmap. Renamed the Built Environment Decarbonisation Technology Roadmap, it identifies close to 70 key technologies and strategies and adopts “whole-life carbon” approach, addressing both operational and embodied carbon emissions.

Since January 2025, BCA and SGBC have engaged about 100 built environment stakeholders, including building owners, consultants, Institute of Higher Learning (IHLs), material suppliers and technology solution providers to co-create the roadmap.

The technology roadmap serves two primary purposes; Firstly, it encourages stakeholders to leverage market-ready solutions to reduce whole-life carbon emissions in their building projects. Secondly, it provides the research community with a clear directive on emerging technology priorities, to support Singapore’s Research, Innovation, and Enterprise (RIE) 2030 plan.
