Singapore now relies on natural gas, a fossil fuel, for about 95 per cent of its energy needs. Burning this fuel releases planet-warming emissions.

Singapore is an alternative energy disadvantaged country, with limited access to renewable energy options.

the continued use of natural gas, advancing solar deployment, importing clean energy and exploring emerging low-carbon alternatives.

nuclear energy could also help to bolster energy security....unlike natural gas plants, which require continuous fuel imports, a nuclear power plant can operate for several years without refuelling

nuclear energy plants may also offer more stable electricity prices as the lifetime costs of operating and maintaining such a plant are largely dominated by capital expenditure, such as building the required infrastructure

Qns:

1. 'Fossil fuels should no longer have a part in the production of energy.’ Discuss. (Cam. 2023)

2. Discuss the view that, with an increasing global need for energy, every possible source should be exploited to the full. (Cam. 2014)
