Key conditions
The grantee is expected to anchor a carbon project-development team in Singapore. Supported projects must satisfy Singapore's International Carbon Credit Framework and be undertaken in countries with relevant Singapore carbon-credit collaborations aligned with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.
How and when should you apply?
Interested developers begin through EDB's Expression of Interest process. EDB announced new grant recipients in May 2026, confirming that the route remains active.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
A strong fit is: An experienced carbon developer with a credible Article 6 pipeline and a plan to anchor meaningful project-development capability in Singapore.
A weak fit is: A company without a proven carbon-project track record, or a project that does not fit Singapore's Article 6 collaboration framework.
How Reeve | R&D supports the scheme
Reeve | R&D can manage the incentive workstream from initial eligibility assessment through project structuring, funding modelling, application preparation, evidence planning, agency interaction and post-award coordination, while the company or eligible applicant remains the formal applicant where required.
