STDP Thematic Grant Call: Biomass dMRV 2026
NSAS's 2026 STDP thematic grant call sought Singapore-led research and industry collaborations using satellite remote sensing for biomass digital monitoring, reporting and verification.
STDP Thematic Grant Call: Biomass dMRV 2026
The STDP Thematic Grant Call for biomass digital monitoring, reporting and verification (dMRV) was a 2026 call under Singapore’s Space Technology Development Programme. Its purpose was to develop satellite-remote-sensing-based dMRV methods that support high-integrity carbon offsets and Singapore’s net-zero ambition, while building geospatial capability for Southeast Asia and the Equatorial Belt (NSAS, accessed 2 September 2026).
Application window and eligible applicants
The call sought Letters of Intent submitted from 15 January to 27 February 2026 at 17:00; the application period is therefore closed as of 2 September 2026. Local institutes of higher learning and research institutes could be lead applicants. Industry applicants had to partner with a local institute of higher learning or research institute as a co-applicant (NSAS, accessed 2 September 2026).
Scope and collaboration boundary
The call focused on satellite remote sensing for biomass dMRV, including solutions that could help secure high-integrity carbon offsets by 2050. International collaboration was encouraged where it demonstrated clear value to Singapore’s remote-sensing capabilities originating from Singapore; the call was not a general-purpose grant for every space or climate project (NSAS, accessed 2 September 2026).
Additional evaluation points were available for partnerships across the carbon-credit ecosystem, collaborations with institutions in countries that have signed Article 6 agreements with Singapore, and a clear pathway to commercial deployment within three to five years after project completion. These are evaluation considerations, not an assurance of funding or selection (NSAS, accessed 2 September 2026).
