内容简介:
     Energy is a crucial part of Singapore’s history. At the last count, this tiny island is home to three world-scale oil refineries, four large petrochemical complexes, several power plants, one of the world’s largest container and oil trading ports, the world’s largest bunker fuel hub, several major shipyards, one offshore and marine base and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal. Like its people, Singapore’s energy policy is pragmatic and competitive. Through various government initiatives, the country has achieved a substantial decrease in carbon intensity, such as the move in the Year 2000 to switch from fuel oil to natural gas - a cleaner form of fossil fuel. In a carbon-constrained world, how will Singapore, a city-state and petrochemical hub transition further? In its fiftieth year of independence, it is therefore timely that we recount the energy policy development that has made the modern Singapore and consider innovative policy ideas in energy for the future.
