Singaporean state investment company Temasek has committed an initial $5 billion to launch Gen Zero, an investment platform dedicated to accelerating decarbonization globally. Targeted areas include carbon capture and sequestration and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).Gen Zero plans to catalyze decarbonization by deploying long-term capital. The platform plans to invest in opportunities ranging from early-stage startups in need of “patient” capital to commercialize to more mature companies that are ready to scale .Gen Zero has three investment focus areas: technology developers that can deliver deep decarbonization impacts; nature-based solutions to protect and restore natural ecosystems; and carbon ecosystem enablers. Any investments in SAF will come under the technology pillar.In February, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Temasek selected Exxon Mobil to supply SAF as part of a pilot project
